Ok.. So, I guess I need to admit that I have not been on my best behavior these last few weeks with losing my weight. I tend to beat myself up alot when I'm not on my best behavior with my weight loss. And I know it's just lies from Satan because this is what God says in His word:
Romans 8:1&2
1.So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.
2.And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.
So, not only did God say there is NO CONDEMNATION but He also says that I AM FREE!!!
I can't go according to how I happen to "feel" that day. I need to stand on His Word!! I need to just persevere. With every trial comes perseverance and with perseverance comes great blessings.
James 1:2 says
2.Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.
That one is a doozy... when I am having trouble or trials I also need to be joyful?? LOL That is sooo hard. But I'm realizing that if I don't focus on how I happen to "feel" that day and I just persevere I will reap great blessings. That's where the joy comes in. :)
I need to just focus on TODAY!! And I won't let a number on the scale define who I am. I know who I am in Christ Jesus!! I AM WORTHY!!!
You are 100% correct! This is that nasty part called perseverance! It's all the stuff that comes after the newness and excitement wears off. Just keep going...don't stop....keep on going, don't stop!! BTW, I'm on a diet now myself. We can do it!
