Devern Fromke writes: "Those who want their own freedom to enjoy boundless direction and their own placing, soon discover that it becomes the way of narrowness and limitation. Because they imagined that God would confine them, they ran from Him, only to be locked up in the prison house of their own selfishness. Yet those who have accepted what seemed like dependence and limitation in God, have found it was really God's desire to enlarge them. [The widest thing in the universe is not space; it is the potential capacity of the human heart. Being made in the image of God, it is capable of almost unlimited extension in all directions. And one of the world's worst tragedies is that we allow our hearts to shrink until there is room in them for little beside ourselves]A.W. Tozer -- Unto Full Stature

I struggle with the whole lose-weight-live-healthy thing because my mind tells me that way is narrow and hard and I can only manage it temporarily so why try. The truth that eating anything and everything to feed my self is actually limiting as evidenced in a body that longs to run and dance but is incapable. Father is transforming my thought processes to know that what I eat need only be life giving fuel. Food as a gift but not an abuse. This path of really knowing what my body --or as Bill Gilham says--my 'earth suit' needs to live the best life that Father intends for me is getting clearer each day.
