God inspired PROVERBS 31:30 >
"Charm is deceitful & beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised."
We can say the same for men:
PHYSICAL looks don't matter at all. HEART does.
First Samuel 16:7, "The LORD said to Samuel,
'Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature,
because I have refused him.
For the LORD does not see as man sees;
for man looks at the outward appearance,
but the LORD looks at the heart.”
So what as for dieting
you were more thin, more pretty, more handsome, more ___.
BUT GOD says:
Seek to follow HIM. Love HIM more than you or anyone.
Choose to diet NOT to please people or yourself,
or even just for health:
When we choose to diet because we earnestly want to
REFLECT OUR LORD ... 2nd Corinthians 3:18 LINK
and show others how great GOD is, not us:
It's SO much easier to diet... and to pick ourselves up
(with God's help we prayed for) after we have failed.
PRAYER
LORD GOD,
I *feel* frustrated because I fail so much.Help me remember my true goal in dieting or ANYTHING I do should be
this one thing: to give YOU pleasure. No: TWO things >>>
To show to OTHERS what a great God You are,
that they might be led to give YOU pleasure.
I LOVE You Lord. Thank You for loving me, no matter what I look like.
I pray in the Mighty Name of Jesus, our Prince of Peace.
