For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 1 Corinthians 15:9-10
My husband’s favorite line from the movie, Popeye, is “I am what I am,” and he quotes it periodically. I never really paid much attention to it until I read it the other day and prayerfully pondered it.

In this passage, the Apostle Paul is saying that he isn’t worthy to
be an apostle, because he used to persecute the church, but by God’s grace, his
life was changed. God made Paul into one of His apostles to do His will through
him.
Well, this passage brings lots of things to mind. I’m not worthy
to be writing a blog about overeating, when so much of my life had been
consumed by overeating or thinkng of eating. God has used my weakness to His
glory and by that, I am very humbled.
It is God who gives me the ideas for the blog posts, but if there
are any errors or shortcomings, they are truly mine. It is God who heals me
through these posts and hopefully provides healing for those who are open to
reading “The Message” He has within these posts.
Since I am applying these Bible Verses to my life, it may not convey the whole meaning of the verses. Debbie
