DIETS & SPIRITUAL GROWTH

Many people hate dieting. In an effort to lose weight they

are miserable. They are unhappy watching other folks eat things

that they wish that they could eat. They spend all of their energy

and effort focusing on what they can’t have.

Many people start diets but do not finish them because they

are so irritable and frustrated with the food they have to eat to

lose weight. Their dieting choices for meals aren’t natural. They

don’t have a taste for the food they need to eat in order to reach

their goals.

But if a person develops a taste for food that is good for

them, they will naturally eat the right things and get all the

benefits of eating healthy.

Real spiritual transformation happens when we allow God

to change our tastes rather than trying to force behavioral

changes with human effort alone.

She still has some issues to overcome and quite a long road ahead, but she and Raymond express their gratitude for everyone’s love and care shown to them.
