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

COE Support Note:

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/

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I Know What You Really Think

Luke 17: 3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. 4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. 

I read this Bible passage and have to evaluate if I truly do this. If I'm really being honest, there have been times when I have said in my mind, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what you really think," when I have interacted with someone who has made negative comments about me, my eating, my weight or anything else related to me.

Am I taking the high road as Jesus suggests? Obviously, I'm not. I may not be rude to these people, but I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt and I'm still harboring negative feelings related to comments they have made in the past. Their negative comments cause negative within me and if I turn these feelings over to Christ, He can heal me from being resentful to them and heal my feelings about myself. 

I need to let go of these resentments which is easier said than done, but Jesus can certainly 

Because these posts are examples of how I've applied these Bible verses to my life, they don't necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verse. Debbie
