The Wellness Revelation 21-Day JourneySample
Attend to Matters of the Heart
CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF A LOVING GOD
If you are looking for complete transformation and lasting change, you must address the whole person. The Wellness Revelation is all about moving you closer to the authentic person you were created to be. Let me assure you that while it does not come easily and brings some discomfort, what God wants to give you in exchange will not disappoint.
He wants to give you a new heart as you learn to love Him completely.
Let’s dive deeper into matters of the heart. First, we need to remember that we were created in the image of a loving God and hardwired for emotional and relational connection. God designed man and woman so that we would need Him.
Our feelings are given to us by God to draw us closer to Himself, the One who is love and the Author of feelings. Because He wastes nothing, He is able to make even the negative feelings work for our good.
You cannot leverage yourself against the love of God. He is not looking for business partners. He’s looking for a family: children who are willing to go into the family business of transforming the world through His love and truth, which sets hearts free.
God’s love never quits. His love is inexhaustible and continues to flow to those who love Him – and even to those who don’t. He restores our hope and renews our faith. At our request, He gives us back His treasure map, showing us the way to seek and find what will really give us rest – His love.
He resets our hearts’ compasses and says, “If you start to feel lost again, point this toward home.” He then aligns our willing hearts, minds, souls, and bodies with His will for our lives.
In His presence, our hearts are healed and made whole.
Reflect:
What experiences, whether recently or in the past, illustrate God’s love for you? If you can’t think of anything, what might be preventing you from believing that God loves you personally and deeply?
About this Plan
Adapted from an eight-week faith and fitness Bible study written by Alisa Keeton, The Wellness Revelation 21-Day Journey offers daily devotions on eight topics essential to true and lasting weight loss – wellness that isn’t just focused on what you eat or how many pounds you weigh, but the “weight” that keeps you from living an abundant life in Christ.
