SOURCE

One of my reasons for doing the Welcome-to-your-Death Diet is to live my life more for Christ. I know that I use food as a source of comfort, and help in my day. Staying on an eating plan, especially one that has you eating mindfully for the purpose of nourishment is exposing in me how much I use food to cover emotions like fear or anxiety.

Living for Christ means HE is my source for everything. He is all I need for shalom or wholeness in my life- He is my source of self-control, strength, beauty, grace, perseverance.

Ephesians 1:3-7

Spiritual Blessings in Christ
3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5hea]">[a] predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace
