To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I was victorious, and sat down with My Father on His throne. Revelation 3:21 NIV Bible
The Lord God isn't talking about the one who is victorious at losing weight, because that weight loss didn't come from me, or anything that I did. The 80 + pound weight loss only came from the Lord God. If I know that it came from the Lord God, how could I think this gives me the right to look down on others?
Honestly, I don't think that I'm looking down on others who overeat, but my mind is full of many tips, and suggestions, that I would like to make to them. Usually, I don't share these, but every now-and-then I do with people I really care about.
It wasn't until I gave up, and told the Lord God that if He ever wanted me to lose all the weight, He'd have to do it, because I couldn't. Actually, when I prayed this, I wasn't really expecting something to happen. I was just giving the Lord God a heads-up, that I wouldn't be dieting anymore. But the thing is, on that very same day, my eating, and my focus changed. I think it was because that was the first time that I had given up control, and turned it over into the Lord God's hands. That doesn't make me more special, or someone who can judge others as they struggle with this same issue. The Lord God could do it for you, or anyone, who puts their control into His very gracious hands, along with their food, body, stress, and eating.
