Power Source

I have a confession to make, though it probably won’t surprise those closest to me:

I've not been on program 100%...sometimes not even 50%.

However, I plugged back in this morning, and God blessed me immediately.

I got down on my knees and asked him to be bigger in my life than my disease...something I've done in the past but not recently. While I was praying, a friend's recommendation, that I read the book of Ephesians in the Bible, popped into my mind. I said half-jokingly to God, “I'll bet that means my morning devotion is in Ephesians, right?”

And it was!!

Not only that but it was verses about how awesomely huge and limitless is God's love for his people. I cried with joy. He was PRESENT...in the very room with me. His response was soooo immediate and to the point. As He has promised.

I know that and yet I don't. I'm learning that if I'm not willing to get on me knees, my disease is in control. And then I won't feel God's presence, power, and love around and in me.

All it took to set things right was one simple step on my part.

ONE!

And WHAM the connection is back.

I feel joyful and hopeful, clean and pure today. With His powerful love to strengthen me, I can do this program. Only then will a life outside of food addiction is possible. A life worth every knee bend, every effort to plug into my Power Source.
