The Truth
This week in Sunday School, the lesson discussed John 8:32 "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (NIV) The message really wasn't about diet and exercise, but it does relate. I've been kidding myself about how much I've really been eating and how little I've really been exercising. I must have not been paying attention. Somehow, the mirror and my clothes knew the truth, but I was ignoring it. There are times when I've been doing everything perfectly; however, this holiday season has set me back. The chocolate, cake and ice cream that I've eaten without really accounting for it has tipped the scales in the wrong direction. The truth has always been there, but I was denying it. My freedom doesn't mean that I am not responsible for doing what I should do. It does mean that I clearly focus on the goal. I need to remind myself daily that "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13. I don't have to do this or anything alone. Today will be great and tomorrow will be better. I'm heading in the right direction and will increase my motivation each day.
