Do you know that in a race all the runner run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24 NIV Bible
In that going to heaven someday is the biggest prize imaginable, it's the race that I want to run! Well, the only way for us to get to heaven is through our love of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Fortunately for me, we can't get there because of how good we are, because I am a very sinful human being. I have let food and other things in my life become false gods, and not realizing this, I have turned to them for comfort instead of turning to our Lord and Savior for comfort.
Food has interfered so much throughout my life, by my not being the person that God wants me to be. Because of this, I became negative about myself and others. When I finally turned the control of my eating and the control over stressful things in my life over to Christ's very capable hands, all of this started to change!
I no longer felt so negative about myself or others, for if the Lord God loves me, I should feel loveable! I didn't feel the need to punish myself for not being good enough, thin enough, popular enough, or pretty enough for the Lord God loves me! The thing is, He love you too! It is well worth your effort to start putting your life into the Lord God's very capable hands!
