Despises himself...

I was at a Church Leader conference a few weeks ago & of course, was in the Bible...

A verse came out at me...

It was an unusual one because as someone who struggles with weight & food issues, it just hit me in that direction.  Probably not the direction it was originally intended... but it still hit me in the gut..

Eating & taking care of yourself is really a lot about discipline to me.

Making the time
Making the choices

& the words "despises himself"... harsh words... but really, I have sat & cried, yes, literally cried because of the way I feel when I haven't been disciplined. 

Because of the way my clothes feel... because of the number on the scale.. because of how I feel in my body ... all because a lack of discipline...

So not sure about you, but the Bible is really forcing me to look at my discipline...

& not ignore it...
