The Bible verse of the day today is "To live is Christ, to die is gain." Well, I've been having to die to self for almost 3 months now. Some days are easier to do than others. There's a devotion where the lady's motto is "Choose wisely." So each day I'm having to choose to follow my d
iet or to follow my desires. Praise God my ultimate and strongest desire right now is to lose the weight and stick to the diet. I've been 21 pounds successful and can now feel a difference. Yay! However, some days the desire is to eat a favorite food. I hear myself saying, "Just a taste again" and have to tell myself "No!" So I die to my momentary desire. It's been great to finally see the rewards. Remaining faithful to death to self has begun to pay off. So clearly, for me in this case, to die is loss! And thank God for the strength and greater desire He's miraculously kept alive in me.
