That's Not On My Diet!

by Kay Heitsch

When we think about dieting we usually think about the food we eat or don't eat. However, there's a lot more to dieting than just the food we eat.

Today I heard a message on feeding ourselves thoughts that will help us grow stronger. We should feed ourselves thoughts of faith that help us dream big and give us the confidence to be all God created us to be.

When negative thoughts of fear, worry, doubt, guilt, regret etc. come we can say, "That's not on my diet!" We should stop feeding ourselves what we don't want to grow in our lives. What we don't feed dies.

Our Bible verse today says, "And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." Philippians 4:8 NLT

When negative thoughts come we can say, "That's not on my diet!" We can fix our thought on things that are excellent and worthy of praise. When we do we can live simply, dream big, be grateful, give love and laugh lots. All these thoughts will help us grow stronger and help us become all that we were created to be.
