It Has To Be For You

Exercising and eating right has to be decision that you have to make for yourself. It is something that needs to be a lifestyle change. As much as you love your spouse, children, and family if you attempt to do it for them you will eventually fail. Donna Richardson makes sure that you take care of yourself for you in Exercise Your WeightTo A Healthy Body

You may be successful in the beginning, but if it is not in your heart to make these changes then you will only succeed for a limited time. Before you begin, take it before God. Only God knows your heart and can give you strength. Matthew 7:7 says, " ASk, and it will be given to you, seek, and you will find, knock, and it will be opened to you."

Do not allow the negativity of other people influence you into not doing what is best for your health. Only God can judge you. There will be times when you will fall off, do not get discouraged. We are not perfect, just get back on course and start again. Be sure that you learn from your mistakes. Learning has not taken place until there has been a modification in behavoir.

Do this from the inside out from your heart and you will succeed. The trinity knows your heart and will give you the best if you give the trinity your best.

• Relinquish my right to make a choice contrary to GOD’s choice.
When we are obedient to GOD we are to relinquish our right to choose another path. The Bible teaches that we are to reach to GOD first and foremost for council. Do not lean onto your own understanding of yourself or others. Relish in knowing that GOD has a plan for you to follow. Show HIM your obedience.

• Understand that making bad decisions is contrary to GOD’s plan.
When you do not follow GOD’s plan, daily life will be more difficult, you won’t have the joy that you desire. Do not argue with GOD, it is a losing battle. You are to relinquish your right to choose another option when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. It is better to be uncomfortable and follow Jesus than it is to be comfortable and follow the Devil.

• I take the necessary steps to finish the process.
