So satisfying

by Bruce Wadd  

 

On the radio was a promo for a current affair documentary about Australia’s heaviest person, and the weight he’d lost recently. Have you ever had that experience? Do you know someone that had overcome a weight challenge?

 

The experience of losing significant amounts of weight can be so empowering. You feel so much lighter, more alive, more confident, more energy, with a real zest for life.

 

Compared with the lethargy and disempowerment of obesity losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is just so satisfying. I’ve sometimes asked the question, ‘how did I ever live with all that weight?’

 

Becoming a Christian is so similar. To know that eternity has been confirmed, that sin in your life is no longer in charge, is such exciting news. Now you have a whole new perspective on life. You are free! 

 

“Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world,

but be a new and different person with a fresh newness

in all you do and think. Then you will learn from your own experience how His ways will really satisfy you.” 

Romans 12:2

 

Today, be satisfied!
