so what is your attitude towards giving to God and giving up the world? As your attention is towards Christ there's less interest in the things of this world and as one sees the horrible condition of ones own heart and that of the world lamenting, weeping and fasting will inevetably become a regular practice as one is drawn to God's sacrifice and desires the same so that some may be saved. Like giving money to the Lord, the practicle "rubber meets the road" kind of reality check of how willing are you to give of everything to the Lord, where are your true desires, "all for Jesus" or is that just a song to be sung once in a while, not a life style every day. Jesus said, "when you fast" pointing out that this was to be something that was to be a part of a believers life, and since it's to be connected with the example of Christ and His compassion for the lost, and we have plenty of lost in the throws of evil all around us do we not have enough reasons to be on our knees and fasting with our attention to him and off the worldly pulls of indifferent satisfaction?
