A Well-Watered Garden

I know I post a lot and blog about fitness and food but to me. It’s my way and my calling to reach others where the world has hurt them and told them they are not worthy or maybe you have said that to yourself a time or two. I’m here to say it's so much more than an exercise program or the right food to eat. You are more than a number on a scale, the person in the picture or the one on the couch at night that doesn't know who to turn to for help, for support and for honest encouragement.  

I know that girl I’ve met her several times in my own head and heart why? Because we live in a sad society where we are told we cannot be happy or filled with something as simple and yet so amazing as God’s love and protection. 

The Lord will guide you always;
   he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
    and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
    like a spring whose waters never fail.  Isaiah 58:11

 

To feel your best to live the life you were made to live you've got to stop filling yourself up with empty promises the world offers of happiness of fulfillment, the pleasure of food, a certain lifestyle or body type.

 

You can do the right things, say the right words be the “perfect picture” on the outside. But until you sit near that stream everyday and drink the water until your roots are soaked in His grace, in His love and His mercy you will not be complete. You will be searching for the next thing to “fill” you up to complete your desires at this moment.

Picture a flower  or a small tree when the roots are emerged in water the stem is transporting that water to every part of that plant to help it live, to stand tall and strengthen its frame so it can reach high into the direction of the sunlight.

 

 I pray for you today that you allow the living water the ever flowing Spring of Jesus Christ to fill you to transport the love in you that you may be strengthened and stand tall so that you too can reach high in the direction of the Sun’s light. He is there and wants you come and sit allow your life to be filled with the only thing that can and will complete you, His love, grace and forgiveness.
