Losing weight

If you have a metabolism like me than more than likely you have tried all the different ways of losing weight; joining the gym and going hard at it for a couple of weeks, then you realise you’re got a really busy week and you don’t get to go. Before you know it a month has past and a friend (wife for me) reminds you that you haven't been for a while. Or what about the low carbs diet, weight fell of me in that one (it also went back on just as fast). How about this one... you convince yourself you’re going to ride everywhere to lose weight, so you go and buy a bike until winter hits and its cold and dark (so you piked it like I did). Others I know: calorie counting, pilates, The Cabbage Soup diet (Mum and Dad tried that one, it smells like spew) and the list goes on.

All this reminds me of the scripture in Hebrews 12:1-2 "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight that so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of your faith". I turn thirty this month and I have been planning to be at a certain weight by my 30th, but more than that I thank God that I’ve looked to Jesus who takes the weights of life.

What weight are you carrying now that you shouldn't be, throw them onto Jesus, cause his word says in 1 Peter 5:7 "Cast your cares on him for he cares for you". Don’t live another day carrying weight emotionally or spiritually that u don’t have to because losing that weight is the most important thing.

Change your world today

Ps Jack
