You know, the Lord made us ALL beautiful and He wants what's best for us!

He tells us in Jeremiah 29:11:

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you HOPE and a FUTURE."
 

What a great source of encouragement I find in this scripture. God knew us before we were formed in the womb. He knows our struggles with everything (including our weight!), He knows our pains, and joys....and the best part is He WANTS to share in them with us. He WANTS a relationship with us. He WANTS us to rely on Him as our source of strength.

THIS IS MY POWER VERSE. Find one for you to draw strength from:

2 Corinthians 12:9:

"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for MY power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."

I am not ashamed to say I rely on God as my source of strength. After all, He was not ashamed of me when He walked to the Cross of Calvary to die for my sins!

God will guide me in every decision, including my weight, if I seek Him first. Talk to the Father and rely on Him through this process. Start your day in prayer and He will see you through all your food choices and everything in your life! After all, He MADE us.....so certainly He is interested in seeing us succeed in making the body He gifted us with more happy and healthy!

Love to all!♥
