Look in the mirror...

SoldierDad

I have "talked" to so many of you and I know there's a lot of hurt and fear out there... I just wanted to take a moment to say this.. Look in the mirror! What do you see? I can tell you what I see when i look at you: I see a beautiful, strong, smart, amazing creation of God. God didn't make any of us to live in fear or failure. It doesn't matter if tomorrow that scale says one pound lost, 5 pounds lost or shows a gain. God made you to be the perfect you. He crafted you with His loving hands. He breathed life into you as His beloved. Yes, we are each on a journey to get healthier. That's wonderful and i am so proud each of you. You are all working so hard. You are setting goals, and reaching them. You are learning more about yourselves and your strengh. I love you each dearly, and pray for you often. I know that makes me sound crazy to some but I do. I celebrate each of your successes, and my heart breaks when you are sad about the bumps in the road. But bumps do not matter because, as I said, you are perfect just as you are. So stand tall, and look in the mirror. What do you see? I'll shout from the top of my lungs (when I look at you) that I see a beautiful person, an amazing person. I see the perfect child of the Father. Now claim it and walk proud. Walk in victory and glory. Theres nothing that can slow you down.

I love you all ,

Ed

You have a beautiful spirit Ed. I just wanted to tell you that I really needed to hear that, and I bless God for using you to relay that message to me. I hurt my knee this past week and have been unable to work out for the past three days, so I have been a little down about that. I know now that as Paul said in Corinthians, I need to try and find joy in every situation! God bless you Ed for those sweet words of encouragement.
