Are You Malnourished For Love?
Before the wedding of Felipe and Maria began, the groom spoke to the priest.
Felipe said, “Father, I’d appreciate that during the wedding vows, you’d omit the difficult parts.”
“What difficult parts?” the priest asked.
“You know Father, just don’t say anymore the for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health thing. Just leave those lines out.”
Felipe then slipped a crisp P1000 into the priest’s pocket and walked away, smiling.
During the wedding vows, the priest looked at Felipe and said, “Felipe, do you take Maria as your lawful wedded wife for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, serving her breakfast in bed everyday, washing the dishes and doing the laundry everyday, cleaning the house everyday till death do you part?”
Felipe appeared like a train ran over him. With a very weak voice, he croaked, “I do.”
After the wedding, Felipe walked up to the priest and asked, “Father, I thought we had a deal?”
The priest slipped back the P1000 into Felipe’s pocket and said, “Sorry, your new wife gave me P10,000.”
Change Your Life
By Changing Your Relationships
Today, I start a new 7-week series entitled Relationships Reborn.
Here’s why you need to take this series with me: I believe that if you change your relationships, you change your life.
Because if you squeeze out the essence of life, you realize that life is all about relationships. Your happiness, your success, your health, and your dreams depend on relationships. Give me a person with very happy relationships and I’ll show you a very happy person. Give me a person with miserable, dysfunctional relationships and I’ll show you a very miserable person.
Felipe and Maria had great vows, with some very unique amendments.
But would vows help them?
Not unless they renew them everyday.
I’m going to spill the beans here and tell you the central message of the next seven weeks: Relationships need renewal or they die.
In fact, not only the relationship will die, but a part of us will die. Why? Because you have a Heart Wound that can only be healed by love—a love that can only be found in relationships.
So you want to change your life, keep reading.
Are You Malnourished For Love?
Have you ever seen a malnourished child?
I believe you have—you just didn’t know.
Here’s the problem: When you hear the word “malnourished,” you automatically think of the starving kids in Africa you see in pictures. A child living in a famine-stricken dessert that has absolutely nothing to eat.
But there’s a second type.
The person could be your next door neighbor. He doesn’t look malnourished. He could even be fat. And yet, amazingly, he is malnourished.
Because he’s eating the wrong type of food.
Let me stoke your imagination.
Let’s say you love cotton candy.
And you decide you eat nothing else but cotton candy.
Cotton candy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
What would happen to you?
Your hunger will disappear. You’ll probably have lots of energy from the sugar. But over time, you’d be killing yourself. Because you’ll be terribly malnourished.
Spiritual malnourishment is very similar.
If our bodies hunger for food, our hearts hunger for love.
Food is the fuel of the body. And love is the fuel of the soul.
Without food, our bodies die. And without love, our hearts die.
There are people today who feed “cotton candy” to their souls.
I want you to look at this list below.
What is common among these people?
· Judy Garland (47)
· Jimi Hendrix (27)
· Janis Joplin (27)
· Marilyn Monroe (36)
· Elvis Presley (42)
· River Phoenix (23)
· John Belushi (33)
· Heath Ledger (28)
· Michael Jackson (50)
Two things are common among them.
First is that they’re all dead.
Second is that they all died of a drug overdose.
Most of them were taking either illegal or prescription drugs for years.
Most of them had the world in the palm of their hands. They had everything—money, pleasure, fame, cars, homes, and excitement. They had fans that would worship the dirt on their shoes. I remember 4 years ago, someone bought the used chewing gum of Britney Spears on Ebay for $514. (That’s P25,000 for someone’s spit.)
But that’s not the love that will fill a human heart.
Again, that’s like eating cotton candy the whole day.
Your heart won’t get nourished.
Let me tell you why.
The Wound In Your Heart
Every human being has a Heart Wound.
We’re all wounded people.
We may look strong on the outside. But deep inside, we have a Heart Wound that must be healed.
Note that some people have a deeper Heart Wound than others.
Perhaps they had an alcoholic father or a very selfish mother.
Perhaps they came from a broken family.
Perhaps they were abused as kids.
Don’t be shocked, but filling up your Heart Wound is the most basic motivation of all that you do. It’s also the reason why people are addicted to drugs and alcohol and money and sex and power and food and fame and romance.
Let me tell you three tragic stories.
The Crazy Things We Do
Because We Want To Fill Our Heart Wound
Zeny (not her real name) is a twenty-seven year old beautiful and intelligent woman. She’s a brilliant marketing manager in her company. But her superior IQ and brilliant logic flies out of the window when it comes to love.
She jumps from one romantic relationship after another. The moment her boyfriend breaks up with her, she gets hooked into another relationship. Zeny will grab the next guy available, like a woman drowning and gasping for air. Even if that guy was a serial killer.
If there’s no guy available, she’ll get a girl and get into a lesbian relationship. Because Zeny just can’t stand being alone. But despite having all those guys and girls chasing after her, she’s terribly unhappy.
Why? Because all that is cotton candy.
I also remember Jake, a forty-eight year old multi-millionaire. Jake has many companies under his name, many beautiful cars, many beautiful homes, and many beautiful girls.
But Jake is terribly unhappy.
Why? Because all that is cotton candy.
My third example is more confusing.
Not All Religious Activity Can Nourish The Heart
When you mention the words “spiritual malnourishment”, people instantly think about people who don’t receive God’s Word—because they don’t attend religious activities.
Well, what about Yolly?
Yolly is a forty-four-year old woman who is immersed in religious activities. She goes to Mass in the morning, reads her Bible during lunch, and attends her prayer meetings, doctrinal classes, and novenas in the evening. In between, she prays the rosary.
But unfortunately, Yolly is one of unhappiest people I know.
One day, I realized why. Because everytime Yolly prayed, she always heard God tell her, “You’re a sinner. You’re wicked. You’re dirty. You’re not worthy of my love…” Yolly was projecting her own self-hatred onto God. Her God was judgmental and always angry. All her spiritual activities were her way of appeasing this God.
Friend, your Heart Wound won’t be healed by religious activities. Your Heart Wound can only be healed by an experience of God’s love found in these religious activities.
In other words, it’s love found in a relationship.
What Your Heart Wound Is Longing For
When we fill up our Heart Wound with sex, with money, with drugs, with romantic relationships, they don’t work. Because there’s only one thing that will heal your Heart Wound.
As corny as this may sound, that thing that we long for is love.
That’s why another term for Heart Wound is “Love Tank”.
If you want to function well in life, your Love Tank must be filled.
When I meet someone who has problems handling life, it’s usually because the person has an empty Love Tank.
It could be the jobless person who doesn’t have self-worth.
It could be a millionaire who doesn’t have friends.
It could be a people pleaser who has no backbone.
It could be a guy controlled by his fears.
It could be a person who is having marital affairs.
It could be a drug addict.
It could be a girl who jumps from one jerk to another jerk.
It could be a greedy politician who has come to believe in his own lies.
I’ve realized that all these people have empty Love Tanks.
They’re desperately finding a way to fill up their wound and are doing it in the wrong way.
Let me tell you now how to heal your Heart Wound.
What Kind Of Love Can Heal The Wound?
At the end of the day, the love that can heal your Heart Wound is love that is found in relationships.
Your relationship with God.
Your relationship with yourself.
Your relationship with others.
Friend, your relationships will determine your happiness and success in every area of your life.
So let me ask you a big question: How are your relationships today?
How is your marriage?
How are your relationships with your parents?
How are your relationships with your kids?
How are your relationships with your siblings?
How are your relationships with your friends?
How is your relationship with God?
How is your relationship with yourself?
If you tell me that your relationships are happy and deep and blessed, then in my book, you have everything.
No doubt about it. You’re one very successful person.
Why You Need This Series,
Relationships Reborn
Some of you may be saying, “Hey Bo, I’ve got lots of relationships! But why is my Heart Wound not being healed? Why is my Love Tank not being filled?”
Here’s the big problem with relationships: They’re organic. They’re not inanimate objects. They’re living, breathing things.
Let me give you an analogy.
There are two types of toys: Battery-operated and wind-up.
Some people make the mistake of thinking that relationships are like battery-operated toys. They think they could just slap a double A battery in their relationship and viola, off it goes, humming its tune forever.
But that’s not how relationships work. They don’t go on autopilot.
Relationships are like wind-up toys.
If you don’t wind it up, the ballerina stops dancing and playing music.
When your relationships aren’t working, it’s because you’ve not been winding them up.
What am I saying?
Relationships need renewal or they die.
And dead things can’t give you love and heal Heart Wounds.
In the next seven weeks, I’ll lead you into a brand new series entitled Relationships Reborn. Each week, I’ll email you an article on how to renew your relationship and thus heal your Heart Wound and fill your Love Tank.
I know it’ll bless you immensely.
Let me end with one last personal story.
Death Will Tell You What Is Most Important
Three weeks ago, I flew to New York.
Reason? I was invited to the 64th General Assembly of the United Nations.
I know, it sounds like a joke. But it isn’t.
I’m in the harvest season of my life. For 30 years I was planting, and I’m now receiving a deluge of blessings. This was one of them. A giant one.
Being inside United Nations, seeing the Presidents, Emirs, Sheiks, and Prime Ministers of 192 countries blew my mind.
Not only that, but I stayed in Waldorf Astoria, one of the most luxurious hotels in the world. And guess who was staying with me in the same hotel? President Barack Obama and a few other Heads of States.
Of course, they stayed in humongous suites found on the upper floors. Mortals like myself stayed in regular room.
For breakfast, I got the buffet of bread and fruits which cost $38. I also ordered one soft-boiled egg which cost an astounding $8. My gosh.
The experience was surreal. I was in the cusp of luxury, staying in the centre of the world, seeing Presidents of the world, and eating $8 eggs!
No doubt about it, that trip was definitely a high point in my life.
And yet, here’s my reflection: I’m totally sure that on my deathbed, I won’t remember this experience. At all.
I’ll remember instead the hug that my son gave me, his little fingers at the back of my neck.
I’ll remember the times I dated my mother in her old age, the drive going to the restaurant, the two-hour conversations we always have.
I’ll remember how early on in our marriage, my wife and I had our romantic dates in cheap fast-food joints—and still had to choose with care what we ordered because we couldn’t afford all the items there.
I’ll remember how I took care of orphaned children for a year, living with them in a bamboo hut.
In other words, I’ll remember those moments in my life when I gave love and received love.
Because at the end of the day, that’s what life is all about.
I’ve realized that if you fail in your relationships, you fail in life.
That’s why I’m inviting you to work on your relationships…
Assignment: Pick One Relationship In Your Life
That You Want To Renew and Refresh
Reading this article will do nothing for your life.
But if you apply what you read, it’ll create miracles.
Therefore, I’m giving you an assignment.
I want you to choose one relationship in your life that you want to deepen and strengthen. Perhaps it’s your relationship with your mother, or your sibling, or your husband, or your child, or a friend.
Here’s what you do: Go right up to that person and tell that person, “I want to strengthen my relationship with you.”
In the various FEASTS here in Metro Manila, we gave away a small “Gift of Renewal” Card to each attendee. I asked them to write the person’s name on the Card and give it to that person. The Card stated, “I want to deepen, strengthen, and renew my relationship with you.” It was just a simple tool. It gave people courage because they don’t go empty handed.
Hey, you can make the Card yourself. Or write a short note.
When you do this, you might get shocked looks, questions, laughter, or even ridicule from the other person.
Or you might get a hug or some tears.
It doesn’t matter.
Just go out there and tell someone your prayer for a relationship reborn.
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez

this is great, i will apply this to my relationship with others, and to myself. and most of all to our beloved God. thanks bro. bo sanchez, you are really great, keep up the good work, may our beloved God bless you and with your love-ones now and forever. Amen
Hi. I’ve been reading a lot about your daily inspirational emails and I find it very touching and timely whenever I have some problems. Is there a way that I can reach and talk to you or to your associates over the phone? Pls I need your advise desperately.
Fantastic!!!
I can’t wait for the next article…
Thx Bro. Bo…
GBU alwayz… ^^
absurd as it may seem…Bo, could this also be applicable to an “ex”?
Such a wonderful message. I just hope my wife was there at the Feast last Sunday when you delivered this message and heal the heart wounds.
You are right when you said you failed in life if you are not successful in renewing the relationship of your wife. It takes two to tango and if she doesn’t desire to accept that renewal vows maybe I won’t be blamed anymore. Your comment, please.
Thanks.
thanks Bro. Bo, you’re simply amazing! You’re a God’s blessing!
bro bo when I read your inspirational word I was laughing but I realized that words make me more closer to god and tried to apply in myself and to my grown up children we are not in good terms.
thanks bo.. may the lord bless you and your family
keep up the work.
How do you heal a broken heart?
Prayers and mortifications says Msgr. Escriva. Maybe, just like Job everything was taken away from him and he has nothing except the domineering wife.
Can I ask you something? Why was the wife not taken too away from him? To be a teaser? Finally, when the Lord returned all possessions to him, it just says a hundred fold. Hope you enlighten me on the subject.
thanks a lot Bro. Bo. God bless
Bro Bo,
Thank you very much…
Hi Bo.
Very well said Bro Bo! I just hope and pray that I could renew and refresh my failing relationship with the Lord ,my best friend ruth and to my bf…I want to be reborn for a better person that I am..
God Bless You and More Power
dear sir;
thank you for the reminder. im happy, you have been a big help. more blessings will certainly come your way because you have been a blessing to others.
take care.
Bro bo, i pray that i can do it to my children. After reading your article, I realized that my relationship with my children its not good. Sometimes, I want to give up with them. I don’t know how to handle them. Maybe the way they are now its because of us, as their parents. We dont brought them up in the right way. We have 3 children 20, 15 & 14. We bond each other only when they like the dish I prepared, if not kanya kanya sila kain. Ang hirap na nila kausapin, turuan and its easy for them to answers us back everytime we give comment on them. Maybe its time for us as their parents to step down on them as
long as hindi pa huli ang lahat. Thanks bro bo. God bless!
thanks a lot Bro. Bo…..will wait for your next article…
Thanks Bo, for always being generous with your wisdom! We love you
that’s great..
im looking foward to your new article.
God bless brother.
continue to bless others.
This is perfect. It affirms the talk I am about to make for the community. God bless:)
Thanks Bro. Bo for this another inspiring article. I, too, have my own heart wound which badly needs healing & filling-up. Looking forward for your next emails in the coming weeks. Thanks and God bless always.
I really admire you Bro. Bo. Your the best. Thank you for always sharing your wisdom to us. God bless you more!
on that note, i’d like to send a small note to my brother whom i have not spoken for the last three (3) years because of misunderstanding.May your tribe increase !

Bo,
Big thanks to you. This article is just right on time. Now I understand, and I pray that soon I’ll find my way. Thanks again Bo
You don’t know how much I appreciate it.
May God bless you a hundred fold.
Your article today is a great manifestation of being healed not only from your heart but to nourished our personal relationship with God!
How could we approach the person that we would like to renew and strenghten our relationship if that person himself does not want to cooperate?
God Bless Bro. Bo!
Dear Bo,

WOW! Right on the core. Thanks!
you are like an angel! i am in the process of renewing relationships with the people in my life! so reading this article gives me a direction on how to go about it! thanks and more power!
Dear Bro Bo!
Thank you for your very inspiring message. You are RIGHT! I just can’t express my feeling when I started renewing my life! I feel 10 years younger. All my worries and fears started to disappears slowly. I know my family and I are on the right track and being guided by our God.
Let me share this with you. Our family visited the 4th Grand Exhibit of the Images of Mama Mary yesterday at MOA and we all feel Blessed! Afterwards, we went to visit the chapel of St. Pio in Libis, Quezon City. Our weekend is the best example renewing with my wife and 3 children (17, 16 and 13) We were very happy and we forget the problems we had in the past and now looking forward for a much brighter day everyday.
Thank you very much Bro Bo for helping us in all your inspiring articles.
God Bless always.
Thanks again BO.
You really are a messenger of GOD.
Please pray for me, to have a courage to give this reconciliation message to my daughter and husband.
More power to you bro. Bo! Thanks for sharing such inspiring message…God bless you and your family always! This helps a lot especially now, I am working here in Saudi Arabia and far from my family…May God give you good health so you can continue doing your ministries!
Thank you very much Bro. Bo… You are like an angel sent to us by GOD… I and my fiancee are in the process of reconciliation of our relationship and your article is very timely. Thank you very much Bo… I can’t wait to read your next article…

I’m quite touched. I have a smooth relationship with my siblings, friends, parents and others. I am happy with these relationships. I am single and in my 30th years. I consider my self happy and successful in almost all aspect of my life. Except this relationship–opposite sex relationship. Reading on with the article makes me excited to read the succeeding articles you will have in the next few series and that it may help me obtaining a successful opposite sex relationship.
God bless and praying for your continued sharing of your wisdom…:-)

Thank you so much. This is quite an eye-opener, very helpful. May God bless you more!
your articles always made my day fruitful and made my tears fall, not because my LOVE TANK is empty but due to the realization that my tank is overflowing with love from my friends, my 2 children, my co-workers in church and of course YOU who always reminds me that GOD is always GOOD AND LOVING.that is PRICELESS! I have always been a happy person and always love to give attention and love to everybody. I have everything to thank to the Lord.God bless you Bo, always!!Thank you very much!
Hello Brother Bo!!! Looking forward to renewing my relationships with your help. God bless you and thank you so much for this. Many people like me really need this. Thank God for you!:)
All these years I’ve been asking myself what went wrong…… Im so blessed, I have almost everything I needed but nothing satisfied me. There’s always something missing.
Your blog just hit me between the eyes. Im having goosebumps all over my body. It’s like you are reflecting on my personal life. Jumping from one relationship to another even to a lesbian is a realization that’s because I can’t stand being alone. Being actively involved in religious activities and praying a lot but still feel the emptiness part is also an eye opener. Almost every single word struck me with awe. It’s fascinating. You never fails to amaze me. Oh Bo, you just don’t know how this blog will make a difference in my life………..looking forward for a reborn relationship and a miracle baby. May God continue to bless you and your family.
Thanks for the pre-work…just gave a note to my wife this morning and a BIG WOW… as she shared to me that while reading it tears fell from her eyes…
We are now excited to hear the new series… Great to have South Feast…
Thank you for your timely topic. My wife and I are on the brink of separation because of heart wounds that we don’t know how to heal. We’ve faced almost all kinds of trials in our 15 years of marriage and survived, except this one. I already lost hope that we can still patch things up and we’re both contemplating on ending the relationship through legal means. Now I realized that God won’t allow that to happen and let our children suffer. I know God sent you to save our marriage. I just hope and pray that my wife will be able to read your articles too. Thank you again for this topic and I’m looking forward for the coming articles on relationships reborn. God bless.
Looking forward to your next articles about renewing relationships. Thanks for sharing these things (”,)
i can relate to this article a lot..wanted to renew a lot of relationships in my life but i just can’t seem to pick one..
my relationship with my mom is grossly devastating but i’m afraid to touch that part of my heart wounded by her again..i’ve done it before..forgetting and hoping she would change her habits, but unfortunately, she wounded me all over again..maybe, it’s just hopeless..
with friends, people may see me as someone with a lot of nice and trustworthy allies around..but i really think not one really cares for me much..i couldn’t trust them completely and be brutally honest to them..i don’t know..i get jealous of others who seem to have nice and trustworthy friend..i think there’s really something wrong with me but i just couldn’t figure out what…
i might do something about this soon..thanks for this article..it’s an eye opener, Kuya Bo!
May God bless you and your family always.
Thanks.
Very timely… Thanks for this Bo. Looking forward!
maraming pong salamat..napakagandang mensahe =)
This one is very inspirationall Mr. Bo. For the past few weeks, I’ve lost a very important relationship in my life and I am very depressed right now. I should start renewing my relationships with the people around me. Thank you very much =)
I’m exited to read your nxt soulfood…tnx very much…you have helped me alot …tnx for inspiring us Bo . . .God Bless
thank you mr. Bo!!!
when i first read your article “do you want God to heal you?” and learned that LOVE HEALS, i started renewing my relationships with each of my friends and now with my brother and my friend at my former employer.
actually, it was not really intentionally.
God has really His own way of making me realize that truly, He wants to heal our wounds with His love for us.
and yes, He has been making me renew my relationships with a lot of my friends…from high school to college to work.
thank you really for making me realize these things now mr. Bo!! i’ve been lost lately and now i’m starting to realize the answers to my tons of questions.
Thank you!!!
God is so good that He leads us through such a wonderful person like you!!!
God bless
Hi Bo,
I would like to extend my gratitude for reaching to each one of us the bounty of your blessings.
Your sharing is a gift for me. A simple guide through life’s journey. You are not only reaching out for me but to others who may come on my way and be part of my life…God bless you, Bo!
More power to you and blessings from above…
Thanks for your inspiring article. Its so refreshing. I’m looking forward to read your next issue about Relationship Reborn . More power!

Thank you Bo! This is a big help for me.
I really need this, thanks a lot for constantly reminding us, thank you for being here for always connecting us to HIM, so wonderful
i just did this….. i tried it by sending a text message to my husband… i guess it worked… i got a good response from him…… =) …which is unusual because i tried talking to him before about my issues with him and there was always a negative response…..
please pray for our relationships, Bro. Bo… and thanks in advance!
Bro Bo:
Great article…time for me to apply it to myself.
I may not get a good response from people i might sent a card that states “I want to deepen, strengthen, and renew my relationship with you.”
But only one thing i know, i did start the ball rolling and will continue to do so even if they respose unfavorably for i believe change must not come with them but within me and for that I am constantly healed as this is a continuing act.
Thanks and i look forward for more of your blessed insights…I love it. God bless and prosper you more body, spirit and soul. Good health to your family and loved ones!
that was a great idea! God really talk to you in so many ways at lahat po kami napapasama at parang ripple effect s npakagagandang article na tunay nmn npakalaking tulong sa pakikibaka s buhay n ito.. very timely po because right now im getting tired with my relationship with my husband, or maybe i expect more from him (for 9yrs, huh!) but one thing im sure ill try to patch things up, ( again..). so excited for the next article!
bro. bo
me and my husband really appreciate your article relationship reborn. we’re just on our early stage of our marriage and yet we are like suffering of losing our love to each other but we are doing our best not to destroy our marriage. are we suffering from a cotton candy?

God bless you always and your family.

Nelda
God is a God of Love. But He himself has also a Wounded Heart. God is not exempted from being wounded. He needs our love. When we fill the Love tanks of our loved ones, friends even enemies we are also filling His Love tank. The best way to fill our love tank is to fill the love tanks of others.
Tank you Bo
hello Bo!

We love you!
God bless us!
Sir Bo
Wonderful! Love heals and you are only healed if you open your
heart.
It’s a good timing for me because i am in a
struggling relationship with my sibling.

At first I thought I already knew everything you’ve said in this article, either through personal experience or other readings. I continued reading out of a sense to finish what I’ve already started. Then somewhere through the middle of it, I was already teary eyed. I was successful in holding back my tears, but already a lump in my throat had formed.
Bo, please please pray for me that I may, as you said, deepen, strengthen, and renew my relationships with people whom I have hurt.
Thank you.
Thanks Bro. Bo

[…] Before the wedding of Felipe and Maria began, the groom spoke to the priest. Felipe said, “Father, I’d appreciate that during the wedding vows, you’d omit the difficult parts.” “What difficult parts?” the priest asked. “You know Father, just don’t say anymore the for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health thing. Just leave those lines out.” Felipe then slipped a crisp P1000 into the priest’s pocket and walked away, smiling. During the wedding vows, the priest looked at Felipe and said, “Felipe, do you take Maria as your lawful wedded wife for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, serving her breakfast in bed everyday, washing the dishes and doing the laundry everyday, cleaning the house everyday till death do you part?” Felipe appeared like a train ran over him. With a very weak voice, he croaked, “I do.” After the wedding, Felipe walked up to the priest and asked, “Father, I thought we had a deal?” To Continue reading, click here. […]
