(Only after I left the church did my cell phone have THAT message!)
I was rather embarrassed.
But there was no need to be. Better to be wrong when warning someone you care about, than for them to be hurt because you were more concerned about your time or possibility of being embarrassed.
Christians leaders differ on whether or not overeating is a sin... after all, it's not an orgy like Paul was talking about when he was speaking of people "whose god is their belly." So maybe I'm wrong.
But it surely seems logical that it would be a sin that
I often think more about my next snack than about my joy in God alone.......
PRAYER
LORD GOD,
I pray for James 1:5 wisdom so that I do indeed live the way You want me to be. Help me to be more ashamed of refusing to risk speaking about you -- even to myself -- than of living in my self-centered bitty little world.I was rather embarrassed.
