Hey girls
Victories remain victories, whether great or tiny
For a couple of days (maybe weeks) I would like to share some daily victories in my overeating journey with you. Some will sound stupid and small and others may sound like something major, but still, victories remain victories whether great or tiny.
Today, I want to share how I got to experience the sweetness of God’s nature. I want to begin by telling you girls that I really LIKE chocolate. I have the biggest sweet tooth in our household and among all my friends. Starting off this journey, I really felt the need to ask God to reset my taste-buds.I fasted chocolate for a couple of days and could truly feel the difference. I had to surrender the one thing that was a major setback in my journey and that resulted in great victory.
Today, reading the overeating devotional that I’m following in this journey, the message centered around the sweetness of God’s word and truth. To realign my heart again with God’s, I decided to fast chocolate again today.
If I take away everything in life and leave Jesus at the center, I will have all I need.
While checking social media this morning, I saw a post about one of my favourite coffee shops in the town where I attend university and that they are selling cake again. My heart cringed. I’ve been craving that cake since the beginning of the lockdown and the craving just doesn’t get smaller. Thinking this over, I realized one simple truth: This yummy cake can’t compare to the goodness of God. If I take away all things in life and just have cake, I won’t be satisfied in life. I won’t have all that I need or all that I want. If I take away everything in life and leave Jesus at the center, I will have all I need.
I thank God that I can be set free from being ruled by my taste-buds.
I was able to taste and see that the Lord is good (Ps. 34:9). I was able to taste God’s sweet words (Ps. 119: 103).
Going from being the girl who could eat a whole tin of condensed milk in under 15 minutes and still crave candy, to being the girl that can fast candy - is a major victory in my journey. I thank God that I can be set free from being ruled by my taste-buds.
I pray that you will be able to taste the sweetness of God’s word also in your own life's journey, even if you aren’t struggling with any kind of addiction.
Lots of Love
Inge xx
