As I have shared with you before, my battle with weight is definitely a spiritual battle of bondage. I know there is so much victory for me in this, that I will only gain from the self control that the Lord provides me. I have gone over a week, eating healthy and exercising and still finding myself totally satisfied... not in over indulging in food but in my walk with the Lord and the healthy choices I am making for my body. I shared with you that I am doing weight watchers but most importantly I am going through some devotionals from "Made to Crave" You can check them out on KLOVE HERE. It is a spiritual diet of discipline and learning not to crave food but to crave the relationship and freedom of Jesus Christ. I will share an excerpt that I love...
We were made for more. More than this failure … more than this cycle … more than being ruled by our taste buds, body image, rationalizations, and guilt. We were made for victory. Sometimes we just have to find our way to that truth.
AMEN to that if you struggle with body image and health! I pray each of you crave God over all other cravings whether it food, or any other obstacle that keeps you further from God.
Say that again....I love this
