"In closeness to Me, you are safe. In the intimacy of My Presence, you are energized. No matter where you are in the world, you know you belong when you sense My nearness. Ever since the Fall, man has experienced a gaping emptiness that only My Presence can fill. I designed you for close communication with your Creator. How I enjoyed walking in the garden with Adam and Eve, before the evil one deceived them!

When you commune with Me in the garden of your heart, both you and I are blessed. This is My way of living in the world - through you! Together we will push back the darkness, for I am the Light of the world.

Ps 32:7; Gen 3:8-9; John 8:12"

How can I relate this to my weight loss journey?

There are times I feel like my whole world is caving in on me. Even with this weight loss journey especially when I have hit a plateau, I get so upset some times and wonder if I will ever lose again. All these feeling makes me want to eat. During these times I need to spend more time in communication with my Father. Because together with Him we can push through anything.

"Good Morning Father. Thank you for helping me. For pushing through this plateau together. you are great and awesome. I love you so much. Please help me with today. In Jesus Name. Amen"

    My oh my is this word for us today!!!

    I feel this would help with my weight loss in understanding that the devil is always busy and will try anything to get you off your diet track. I know my God is an awesome God and he will sustain me and you ino our weight loss journey.

    Amen!!!

    i think we always need to remember God's with us during our weight loss journey and that He can carry us through even when we think we're just maintaining our weight or hitting a plateau... hope we all can stay strong through the finish. God bless~

    I just reread it again just now and this part is sticking out to me.... Ever since the Fall, man has experienced a gaping emptiness that only My Presence can fill.... I don't know about you but as being a single woman I get lonely sometimes and empty. Longing for love. Since I don't have anyone I then turn to food. But this line really hit me tonight that that loneliness and emptiness and long for love can only be filled by God.

    and may God continue to bless and fill your heart Mine_Time so that food isn't something you turn to but look upon as nourishment for your body. God bless~
