Compassion

[MrsGina 101]

Since I started this journey, I notice more overweight ppl and have to say a prayer for them.

Our prayers work and I know how hard it is to lose weight so I want to pray and be compassionate for others.

So sad that the biggest issue is ppl are treated unkindly because of their weight.

Wow! I am amazed our tickers look very similar!!! lol

Yes, I thank god for this journey and I definitely believe we should always have compassion for others. God allows us to go through things in order to mold us so that we too may help and have compassion for others in the situation. I too, know what they are going through. I have fluctuated between 215 and 286 for 10 years. This is the first time I have gotten to 206 in a decade. Thank you Jesus!!

Unfortunately yes, in many cases people do judge by looks. But we must help and pray for others so that they open their eyes and see what obesity can do to their health and for strength and courage to make a change.

God bless you Mrs Gina!!

I absolutely agree! I believe fully that the devil is using food in this world to pull us farther from Jesus and I have such a passion for those of us who struggle with this battle. It goes so much deeper than just a love for and addiction to food - it's a spiritual battle.

I feel that I have tried so hard to do this on my own for so long and any success I've had has been through God's grace. Unfortunately, the flesh is weak and I feel this surgery is a gift!

Yes definitely, that is just one of the devil's evil schemes! Let's continue to pray for all, Happy New Year to you and all who are on this site and may God continue to lead us and guide us and give us wisdom and strength!! God bless
