V:4 N:44

But each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
James 1:14-15

Don’t give up! Our problem is that we have swallowed the lie that says, “we deserve more.” We can ask for more, my friends, but we must wait on our good God to provide it. Grabbing for more will depress us, will frustrate us, will kill us. But waiting upon God to decide when and how much to feed us will bring LIFE — the opposite of death — plus a trim body due to less greed in the heart. God knows you will feel better when you are no longer overweight because He designed your body that way. Don’t give up!
