What is eating you up?

My best food many years ago was fried egg and fried plantain. But my taste has changed lately and I can't say that this or that is my best food. Food is very important to the building and the growth of the body.The things we eat should contain, vitamins, mineral, fat, protein, etc for our bodies to be nourished. 
Today, many people are eating junk foods that contain chemicals because many don't have time to prepare and cook for themselves. People eat things which are important and as well as dangerous to the body. We have been told that what we eat is actually destroying us. You have to be careful of the things you eat because what you eat determines much of your health. You are also what you eat. 
However, there is an aspect of life that could be more harmful than what we eat. It is called "what is eating you?'' This is more dangerous than what we eat because it could be physical, spiritual, mental and emotional. Some people are being eaten up by sicknesses and diseases like Cancer, Ebola, aids,etc. Others are being eaten up by their vision. When the thought of one's vision has taken over one's mind, thought and actions, it is a good thing. But when one is consumed with lust, jealousy, hatred, bitterness, unforgiveness, Guilt, sin, disappointment, issues of life, etc, it becomes a dangerous and life threatening issue.
2 Samuel 13:1&2, says:
"In the course of time, Amnon son of David fell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of Absalom son of David. 2 Amnon became so obsessed with his sister Tamar that he made himself ill. She was a virgin, and it seemed impossible for him to do anything to her".
Amnon was eaten up by lust for his own sister. The thought alone is annoying let alone the act he committed with her later. Whatever  negative thing that is eating you up today has a cure, solution, answer and remedy. The remedy is God, the creator of the heavens and the earth. Nothing is bigger than Him. The things eating you up are in this world and this world is like a ball before God. If it is sin,the bible says that if we confess our sins before God, he is able and just to forgive us. If it is guilt, condemnation, and so on, i would advise that you confess to God and probably talk a trusted person about what you have done.
Rom 8:1&2 says:
"1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death''
Also, if  what is eating you up is related to the issues and challenges of life, the bible says in Matthew 11: 28-30:
"28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light".
If it is envy or Jealousy, just think about what happened to Cain. Jealousy made him kill his brother. So, call on God to help you. If it is sickness, the bible says that God desires you to be in good health and that by the wounds, you are healed. God is bigger than whatever is eating you up. So, don't get eaten up by that thing because you have Him by your side.
