It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
I had been an compulsive overeatear for most of my life. I turned to food to solace my aching soul when I was stressed or worried about things out of my control. Although I turned to food, it never comforted me the way that Christ can.
Christ has given me a calmness when situations arise, knowing that He, in His infinite mercy will be there to guide me throughout the situations that arise. This peace is even more significant than the weight loss that God allowed in my life.
I feel like I'm a Pinch Me Christian, because it feels too good to be true! Fortunately for me, it is! Christ showed me how food had become a false god in my life, because I turned to it and not Him. Now, the Lord fills my life with peace that only He can give even when faced with turmoil. It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my walk with Christ, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verses.
