Finding Contentment

Obviously anytime you fail while dieting, you feel like a failure, but God doesn’t want us to have these feelings of doubt. Especially not about ourselves. The only way for gold to be purified is to be tried by fire. In dieting, the only way for us grow in faith is to be tried by struggles. Christ will bring us through anything as long as we let him. 1 Peter 1:7 - That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. Don’t let people get you down. If a certain diet isn’t working for you, let God help. He is the master of all things and He wants you to be happy. In saying that, I must remind you that you will never be satisfied in life or in you relationships, until you are satisfied in Christ and in yourself through Christ. If you can’t appreciate yourself the way you are now…how does God know that you will appreciate yourself after you lose 10,20,50 pounds? Some people are never happy no matter what they have, look like, or do. They just do not understand what it is to be content. We must be content in all we do, through Christ. Just remember that as Christians, our main goal is to become more Christ-like in everything we do. To be a Christian is to be a “little Christ”. Remember that next time you don’t want to be content with the way things are, but also remember that we should never get so content with life, that we forget to become more like Christ in everything we do.

I just wanted to remind everyone again, that the next meeting is going to be May 21st, after the evening service. Come with your soup bowls and soup spoons ready to eat. We’re having a soup night and it’s going to be great. Hope to see you all there. Until next time…Keep Looking UP for your inspiration and God Bless!!!
