Unstick the Lies -- Overcome With GraceSample

Grace Awakening

Lose the lie: “I want to give up.”

As you’ve read this devotional my prayer is that you caught a glimpse of how God’s grace can give hope to your story. Grace is not just a little prayer you say before receiving a meal; it’s a lifestyle.

Trust the process. There are many changes that must be made to step towards the “new you.” Though change is hard, you can comfort yourself with the assurance of faith. The Lord is still the same, yesterday, today, and forever. He is right here to help you in every step. He will carry you when you feel like you can’t go on tomorrow or when your long-term goals seem out of reach. 

This weight loss journey is based on God’s inexhaustible grace. Make life’s changes one step at a time, casting off old addictions, habits, sticky labels, and lies in exchange for God’s truth as you go. Even if you aren’t where you want to be yet, don’t turn back. Leave your old baggage behind; where you’re headed you won’t need those ill-fitting outfits, anyway. Have confidence and know you are growing and becoming more Christ-like!

Please remember, the way God feels about you is not changed by how you feel about yourself.  Accept God’s grace as a gift, and joyfully trust the process. Receive His strength and embrace the gift of grace to spur you on towards your goals.  

Remember: The Lamb of God died for you, so don’t forget the Lion of Judah fights for you!

Gain God’s truth: Don’t settle for less than the pure life Jesus has died to give you. The MOST important confidence you need lies in living forgiven and giving God glory. Have perseverance, stick with what works, and embrace your imperfections. As the Holy Spirit continues His work, you can experience a lifestyle fitted with hope. As you awaken to God’s grace and hope, you too will gain the strength to endure and persevere gracefully. Grace isn’t a destination but a journey with God by your side. He is cheering for you and wants you to succeed! Encourage yourself in the Lord and renew your mindset. Don’t give up, nor give in to the lies. Please, don’t give in to your feelings. Awaken to grace! He’s got enough GRACE for us all.
