Jesus answered, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one come to the Father, except through Me. John 14:6 NIV Bible
Now, for many years, I thought I would really have a good life, once I was thin. Was that the case? Even though the Lord God blessed me with loosing over 80 pounds, and I was at my goal weight, I was never what someone would think was thin. I was much thinner, but because of my body structure, and sagging former bulging skin, I never looked skinny, like some would think!
But in the process of getting thinner, the Lord God taught me so many lessons. One is that I was turning to food for comfort when I was stressed, and made it a false god, turning to food, instead of turning all my problems over to the Jesus' very capable hands. He taught me many things about myself, so my self-esteem was do longer dragging in the gutter. So, in reality, I did have a good life, but it had absolutely nothing to do with being thin!
It strictly had to do with Jesus Christ, Who said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." He's the one Who made me feel better about myself, whether I was heavy or thin. He let me know that He loved me as I was, whether I was heavy of thin. He showed me that the size of our body has nothing to do with who we are as Christians, it's the size of our hearts that counts. Do I give to those who are needy? Do I share my faith with others? Do I act hatefully or judgmentally to others? Although I'm far from perfect in these areas, the Lord God moves me to be a better Christian!
