I am reading through the entire Bible this year. Digging into God’s Word is helping me understand that He uses imperfect people. I am hard on myself and only look at my failures. Instead of accepting my progress, I feel guilty every time I slip.

Philippians 3:13 is, “ Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead

Holy Bible, Christian Standard Bible, 2017

I will never be perfect. I don’t feel worthy to write a blog on overcoming food when I keep slipping. When I remember He uses imperfect people like me to do His work, I feel honored instead of ashamed. This encourages me to continue serving the Lord. I want to follow Him closer and seek Him instead of food.
