Discipline

2 Timothy 1:6-7 ESV

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

God has not given us over to our fallen nature but instead gave us new life.

I have been overweight most of my life. Yet God has reminded me that He gives the believer self-control. 

There is food that I miss like pizza, bread, Trader Joe's mini chicken tikka masala samosas... Yet God is faithful. So I am back at it. Committing myself to it while I can by God's grace have children. So far there has been sucess even though I had hit a plateau. But I know God will do more amazing things in my mind,.heart and soul. So in the meantime I boast in my weakness knowing that God will continue the work with.
