Food .... 2

Honor God With Balance in Your Life:
Food, Part 2 

"Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you,
in order to bring praise to God."  Romans 15:7 (NIV)

Alas, there is a food dysfunction even worse than gluttony, and that is anorexia and its cousins. Some people, mostly girls and young women, are so terrified of being considered fat that they subconsciously decide that food is their enemy. They compulsively starve themselves to the point of destroying organ tissue.

Anorexia is just part of Satan’s larger goal of getting people to hate themselves. Our Savior Jesus came into our lives to restore our joy. He has chosen to love us and assure us that we are precious and valuable to him. His gospel reduces our self-hatred and teaches us to like ourselves again.

You may know a young woman with an eating disorder. You can be the Savior’s voice to her, a kind and encouraging voice of unconditional love and acceptance. You can pass on God’s approval and help a broken and self-hating person to like herself again.  God bless

I have come that they may have life,  and that they may have  it  more abundantly."       When we talk about the abundance of blessings, most people assume that because talking about it is closely related to the problem of sheer material, but fundamentally the Lord speaks of the abundance of blessing, not only of material things, but also talk about the abundance of blessings in a perfect way.

"Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang takut kepada Tuhannya di saat mereka tidak tampak di hadapan yang lainnya, mereka akan memperoleh ampunan dan pahala yang besar. Dan rahasiakanlah perkataanmu atau lahirkanlah; sesungguhnya Dia Maha Mengetahui segala isi hati. Apakah Allah Yang menciptakan itu tidak mengetahui (yang kamu lahirkan atau rahasiakan); dan Dia Maha Halus lagi Maha Mengetahui? Dialah Yang menjadikan bumi itu mudah bagi kamu, maka berjalanlah di segala penjurunya dan makanlah sebahagian dari rezki-Nya. Dan hanya kepada-Nya-lah kamu (kembali setelah) dibangkitkan ." (QS. Al Mulk: 12-15) “Takutlah akan Allah dan muliakanlah Dia, karena telah tiba saat penghakiman-Nya, dan sembahlah Dia yang telah menjadikan langit dan bumi dan laut dan semua mata air” (Wahyu 14:7)
