Thought for the day

"The motivation to change your life or mine is to have a better life and to share that better life with those around us. We change out of a love for the person God made - ourselves - And the whole world will benefit with every positive change we make.

God is not going to love you more if you lose weight - You will feel better and have better health and probably live longer. But God loves you just the way you are."

I know that this isn't necessarilly popular with the churches that believe that holding down their parishioners and making everyone feel guilty about either not giving enough, not doing this right or not doing that right, but the truth about how much God loves His people must be exposed and lived and enjoyed.  Are you willing to believe that God loves you just the way you are or do you have guilt about all your short-comings?  It's worth your time to think about it.
