As I think, so I am

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." 

(@Proverbs 23:7) Amp

What I believe about myself, is what my life will reflect.  Therefore, I will think of myself the way God thinks of me: beautiful, fresh, new, honored, fruitful, loved, important, whole, forgiven, wise, prosperous, mighty, strong, healthy, full of light, and blessed.   Yes, I think nothing less than these, because God thinks of me nothing less than these.

Thank you @God!  

Praise you @God!!!! 

You are my God and I am your child!!!!! 

Eat and drink for the glory of God

"And they all drank the same spiritual (supernaturally given) drink. For they drank from a spiritual Rock which followed them [produced by the sole power of God Himself without natural instrumentality], and the Rock was Christ. [Exod. 17:6; Num. 20:11.] 

So then, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you may do, do all for the honor and glory of God."

1 Corinthians 10:4,31

So let me ask, when you eat and drink, whose glory do you do it unto? God or yours? Friends, it is time we let Christ be our personal meal planner.

I believe, and know, that if we think of Him every time we take a bite, we will begin to make healthier choices, have more energy, find our bodies healing from our sicknesses, and will influence those around us to be healthier. So, let's give it a try because there is no doubt that we will find ourselves better off (inside and out) if we do.

Eating, exercising, body disorders... all of the above?

"Don't waste your energy striving for perishable food like that.  Work for food that sticks with you, food that nourishes your lasting life, food the Son of Man provides.  He and what he does are guaranteed by God the Father to last." 
John 6:27 MSG

This isn't just a great verse for all of us to read, it is really a great verse for those of us suffering, struggling, or who have suffered and struggled in the past, with eating and/or body disorders.  

As one living the struggles of fitness and thinness on a daily basis, I find myself passionately searching out worldly foods and sources to keep me thin, making sure to stay on the fine line of never eating too much, and if I do, over-exercising later - in essence, punishing my flesh and my mind for making such a huge booboo.  Therefore, as I meditate on this verse, I am reminded that God is my nourishment, and if I passionately pursue him first, before worldly food and exercise, my mind and body will begin to heal and He will show and give me the nourishment I need; the nourishment in the now and the nourishment eternally.  

If anyone can relate, then join me on rededicating this part of your life to Christ.  Let's give him the lead on this, and let's see what happens.  Let's get serious and kick this addiction/disorder to the wayside with strength from Christ and use His authority and power to tromp it to ashes once and for all.  It is time!  

We can do this, we will do this!  
How?  
God - that's how!
