We Need Truth

 "So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold,
I will spit you out of my mouth."
Revelations 3:16

The world is filled with lies and half truths.  Telling us that we can live for God half way, and still experience the fullness of His goodness, and blessings.  Yet the Bible clearly, and very visually tells us what God thinks of a lukewarm Christian.  He spits us out of His mouth.  Have you ever truly thought about the seriousness of this?  God hates it so much when we are lukewarm that He cannot stand the taste of us.  Friend, this is serious.  And it's this mentality that has made it's way into every other area of our lives.  We feel as though we should be able to do things half way and find complete success.  Investing in school, friends, spouses, children, giving them half of our time and attention and wondering why we aren't succeeding.  And then there is weight loss.  Day in and day out we become more and more frustrated.  "Why am I not losing weight?  Why am I gaining weight?  I joined the program, isn't that enough?  I don't eat fries, I stopped drinking coke.  Why is this not working?"  Can I be honest with you?  I have never met anyone who has given their weight loss journey 100% and not been totally successful.  However, I have met far too many that give up, resisting and rejecting the process.  Believing that half should equal whole.  Can I tell you that your weight loss journey mimics your walk with Christ in more ways than you could ever imagine.  Do it half way, and you will always get 1/2 the results.  Look for the easy way out, and you will ALWAYS find yourself back at the starting line (and quite possibly, heavier than ever.)
Don't let this message discourage you today.  Let it motivate and excite you like never before.  Reminding you that what God has promised to those who follow Him with everything that is in them, He has also promised to you.  That He will do "exceedingly, abundantly above all you could ask or think."  And that includes your weight loss journey!  Don't let the lies of this world hold you back any longer.  They haven't worked before, and they won't start today.  Embrace what is really needed for lasting success in weight loss;  WE NEED TRUTH!  Let's pray,

Dear God,
Father, I have embraced the lies of this world almost daily regarding my weight loss journey.  They still attempt to creep in at times, taunting me, telling me there should be an easier way.  I shouldn't have to write down everything I eat.  God, I desperately need you to lift that veil.  Teach me that I need truth in this journey.  I have lied to myself and you for far too long about why, what, and how much I eat.  I am tired of the lies.  I want, and I desperately need truth!  Thank You God for revealing this to me.  I will constantly pray to find your truth in my weight loss journey throughout this and every day.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen

E4M DAILY STRATEGY:  
Honesty is the best policy!  
It's true in life and it's so true in weight loss.  
Today's strategy is to commit right now to being 100% honest about EVERYTHING you are eating.  And the best way to do that is to journal!  Commit right now that for today, you will journal everything; every bite, lick, sip, taste; EVERYTHING!  And, share with an accountability partner or group.  Remember your motto for today:  WE NEED TRUTH!
