"Come to Me and rest. Give your mind a break from its habitual judging. You form judgments about this situation, that situation, this person, that person, yourself, even the weather - as if judging were your main function in life. But I created you first and foremost to know Me and to live in rich communication with Me. When you become preoccupied with passing judgment, you usurp My role.
Relate to Me as creature to Creator, sheep to Shepherd, subject to King, clay to Potter. Allow Me to have My way in your life. Rather than evaluating My ways with you, accept them thankfully. The intimacy I offer you is not an invitation to act as if you were My equal. Worship Me as King of kings while walking hand in hand with Me down the path of Life.
Matt 7f:1; John 17:3; Rom 9:20-21; I Tim 6:15"
How can I relate this to my weight loss journey?
I am sitting here looking at this and trying to see situations in which I do this that may effect my weight loss. And to be honest I am blank. Maybe I judge my weight loss, especial when it is not coming off the way I would like. I need to just accept this is the way God is having it come off. I know I am doing my part and I accept God doing His part even though it may not be the way I want it. He has a reason. To teach me something. That is why I have to be communication with Him always. I need to stop thinging about my weight loss sometimes and just rest in His arms and give my brain a break from it.
"Good Morning Father, I love you so much. Thank you for helping me in this process. I know that sometimes I get upset because the weight isn't coming off as fast as I would like. Please forgive me. I will work on just accepting your plan and continue to do my part. Please help me with today. To make the best choices. In Jesus Name, Amen"

WOW- did that HIT me like a brick- MAKE THAT A TON OF BRICKS
Anytime the Lord points out a sinful behavior in my life, I can see how it affects my weight loss.
While it's not an obvious- connect-the-dots line, ANY area of my life where I am standing in defiance
to Him- and the Holy Spirit zeroes in on it and brings it to my attention-
He's pointing it out because it's an area of bondage that I'm not surrending-
and as long as I'm keeping that part of my heart shut up from Him,
and not allowing Him access to-
is going to hinder me BOTH spiritually and physically.
And so, while I don't *like* discipline by Him,
I've come to realize when He points out areas like this to me....
It's NOT because He'll love me MORE if I get these areas under His control
it's because He loves me THAT MUCH....that He wants it more than I do
Because He knows how the whole MIND, BODY, SOUL, SPIRIT connection
works....
and they are INTERCONNECTED.0
