\u00a0<\/p>\n

Body image and weight issues are two of the most overwhelming issues a person deals with daily. We receive constant reminders on billboards, radio, TV and in the news about what our body should look like and how we are to act. One day we are to be superwoman\u2014the next day, Suzy Homemaker.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We soon find that we are living in a tug-of-war between the world\u2019s unrealistic standard of beauty and God\u2019s reality for our body. When we buy into the world\u2019s unattainable standard of outward beauty we believe a lie of the enemy. When we believe a lie, we empower the liar.<\/p>\n

Buying into the world\u2019s unattainable standard of outward beauty is easy to do in today\u2019s world. As we try to gain acceptance by the world\u2019s standard, we find bondage that leads us to discouragement and depression. We have been caught in the snare of the enemy that our happiness depends on our outward beauty.<\/p>\n

\n

Your outward condition reflects a deeper inner turmoil. Captivity does not start on your exterior frame. It began deep within and has worked its destruction from the inside out. It starts with seeds from a word, rejection or a disapproving glance. How can you overcome the bondage caused by deep wounds to your heart?<\/p>\n

The first step is to understand who you really are. As a child of God there are multiple dimensions of you: You are a spirit, you have a soul and you live in a body (see 1 Thess. 5:23).<\/p>\n

Your physical body, which you see in a mirror, is the image reflected and projected to others. It is the outer shell that houses the real you, your spirit. Your body can be broken, scarred, wounded, healed and strengthened.<\/h3>\n

Your soul\u2014your mind, will and emotions is the place of expression of your personality. It houses your thoughts, hopes, dreams and fears. Your will draws information from your mind in making decisions about your body.<\/p>\n

The third dimension is your spirit, which is often described as your heart. \u201cYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength\u201d (Mark 12:30). This Scripture gives a divine order to our life. Our spirit (heart) should direct our soul and mind, which will guide our physical body. As we keep this divine order\u2014spirit, soul and body\u2014our spirit, which is instantly born again when we receive Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savior, will direct our soul and body.<\/p>\n

The world is full of information\u2014good and bad.<\/h3>\n

The information from the world tells us the need for change.<\/h3>\n

But only the Word of God can bring transformation to our spirit, soul and body!<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

You are unique, created in the image of God for a purpose. When I accepted my body as He created me, quit comparing myself with others, forgave myself for abusing my body and accepted my responsibility in taking care of my body, change started deep within.<\/p>\n

You are so much more than a body.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Remember, God looks on the heart. The world judges you by body image. You are not of this world! I thank God every day for my health. I have been blessed even as an overweight person. But I was coming to a point that travel was much harder, and I grew weary in doing good. Like Martha, I had become distracted with busy work for the kingdom and lost the focus of my life.<\/p>\n

It is impossible to reach the world\u2019s unrealistic standard; they have planned it that way.<\/h3>\n

God leads by the desire of your heart. That desire comes as you abide in His Word (John 15:7). God gave me a battle plan that worked from the inside out and took 88 pounds from my body. It did not happen overnight; it\u2019s a lifetime walk.<\/p>\n

We are learning daily to walk in the Spirit so we will not fulfill the desire of the flesh (see Gal. 5:16).<\/p>\n

Weight loss is a byproduct of obedience.<\/h3>\n

As we learn the ways of the kingdom of God, we don\u2019t have to seek success; it will follow us as we follow Him. Ask the Lord to instill desire in you that motivates you in the perspective of eternity, not just day to day. Live for eternity, die to your flesh and represent Him to the best of your ability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Overwhelmed by the world?\u00a0 \u00a0 Try God\u2019s Way.\u00a0 \u201cTaste\u201d and See that the Lord is Good!<\/h5>\n
