As I struggled to climb onto the bathroom scales, I sucked in my gut and stood as tall as I could hoping to fool the device that indicates the force exerted on a body by the pull of gravity. I squinted thru one eye as if to mitigate the judgment measured out by the little red needle. But it pointed directly toward “OBESE”. I was horrified, disappointed and incensed. How could this be? It’s not fair. It’s not my fault. Wait a minute how many double filled Oreo cookies did I eat? How much Chunky Monkey ice cream did I eat? How many times did I have seconds or was it thirds? Maybe this is an impartial and totally fair judgment. I’ve really not taken very good care of my body.
Hummmmm!!!!! I wonder if this is how it’s going to be on Judgment Day, totally impartial and fair. I’ve really not taken very good care of my soul either.
Dear Lord Jesus, please help me change from who I am to who You want me to be.
Amen.
