Since I have used this Bible passage as an example of how the Lord God has positively influenced my overeating, this doesn't necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the verse. Debbie

If you REALLY want to read how Christ helped me throughout this weight loss and even when I was tempted, you should read some of the 100's of previous posts on https://christianovereaterssupport.blogspot.com/

Forgiving Yourself for Being Heavy…

1 John 5: 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

God doesn’t want us to continue to beat ourselves up for all those times we ate more than we should have. He doesn’t want us to hold the guilt for those times we were secretive about our eating. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, so Christ is going to overcome the world and our worldly ways if we let Him.

I think of all those times that I didn’t love myself enough and let my weight become my shelter from the world. But it only hurt my self-esteem more and I let it tell me that I was unworthy of the friendship and love from those I care about. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, so Christ is going to overcome the world and our worldly ways if we let Him.

God will allow me to let go of that aching overweight child inside of me. He will allow me to let go of all those times I put myself down before anyone else had a chance. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, so Christ is going to overcome the world and our worldly ways if we let Him. All we have to do is ask. 1 John 5: 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Since I am applying these Bible Verses to my life, it may not convey the whole meaning of the verses. Debbie
