Efforts and Willingness

We gotta provide the effort to gain results… 
We go to the drive-thru to pick up our coffee, food, and even groceries. 


Heck, even now we have apps that will pre-order our coffee, meals, groceries, and other things for us! 


Press a button and it is done. 


Wouldn’t it be great if we could press a button and fix our flaws and shortcomings? 


Believe me, if there truly was an app or an instant fix for permanent weight loss, I would be all over it. 


Despite many claims by money-motivated folks, this is not part of our reality right now. 


So, I will have to look inside myself and continue the day-by-day work on my weight loss as well as my other character defects. 


The good news is that along with the encouraging support from many friends and family, there is spiritual support from Jesus IF I will work for it. 


I don’t know about you, but everything else I have given over to God has improved, so I am suiting up and showing up to allow the Holy Spirit to also help me become healthier inside and out…


Check your experience… 


“We found that as soon as we were able to lay aside prejudice and express even a willingness to believe in a Power greater than ourselves, we commenced getting results, even though it was impossible for any of us to fully define or comprehend that Power, which is God.” Big Book pg. 46 


Lord, let us open our hearts and minds and be willing to allow You to mend us through Jesus and the Holy Spirit, AMEN. 


“Come close to God, and God will come close to you.” James 4:8 


Have a blessed day Y’all!

We Gain When We First Give

Helping others helps yourself… Whenever we help someone, we are helping ourselves. Helping others is an invitation to give. It’s an insight into where we are spiritually with our willingness to help others. Finally,...
