Good Stewards of our body.

bigbits71

Many have very good reasons for wanting to lose weight. I have decided to lose weight for a variety of reasons.

4. I wish to run and play with my children without feeling like I'm going to die afterwards.

3. I wish to look better for my wife ( She doesn't care what I look like as long as I'm healthy.)

2. My father died at the age of 47. He did not get to see any of his grandchildren. I do not wish to do the same.

1. Most Importantly, I want to be a better steward of the body God created. He created this body. There is too much work I can do to glorify God.

How can I edify my brothers and Sisters in Christ if I am sick or dead due to an unhealthy lifestyle?

How can spread the Good News of Jesus Christ as Savior of Mankind if I am seen as a glutton or slothful?

How can I help bring others to know Christ if I'm dead?

I wish to be a better servant of God. I wish to bring him Glory and Honor. I know I can do all things through Christ Jesus.

Your thoughts?

My thought is those are excellent reasons for losing weight and getting healthy. And this thread will probably get deleted by the monitors quickly.

I hope not. I did not think it was offensive.

I didn't either. I thought it was wonderful. But any thread that mentions God, other than in vain, is usually locked quickly.

Beautifully said, bigbits! Those are some of the very same reasons I would like to get healthy!
