"He who is full loathes honey, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet."
Spiritually, emotionally, in love. You can get the gist of the literal meaning of the verse: if you eat rich food and are full, you won't want a rich dessert. But if you are starving, a piece of stale bread or old food will taste wonderful. The point is, don't settle for second best. Don't go for the stale bread when if you wait just a little longer, there will be honey. Just because you have a need to fill, a hunger, doesn't mean you should have the first offer. Wait for first prize. This is important in love - God wants you to hold out, hang on until who he has made for you comes along. First prize. If you have to ask if this is the best God has for you, maybe it isn't. Maybe you are settling for bitter food, thinking it is sweet.
