MADE TO CRAVE

about 2 weeks ago, i started reading a 21 day devotional called "Made to Crave". the topic is centered around dieting, food, and the seemingly all eternal struggle with weight. today, i read this. and it put things into perspective for me.

"it can be so tempting to quit the health struggle entirely and pretend it doesn't really matter spiritually. but it does matter and not just for the physical or emotional setbacks. it's the denial of a fundamental spiritual truth. [...] today, your heavenly Father is telling you the same truth: 'you were made for more!' more than this failure...more than this cycle of defeat...more than being ruled by taste buds, body image, rationalizations, guilt, and shame. you were made for victory."

eph. 1:18-19 says: "i pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which [God] has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe."

we need to remember the truth of who we are and the power to live out that truth. we were made for more.


we were made for victory.
