This could be dangerous...

"You are what you eat!" I’m sure you’ve heard that before.

The meaning is obvious. The kind of food we eat impacts our physical and mental health and, therefore, also our personality.

With years of eating disorders behind me, I can certainly understand. When I was anorexic, I was always tired, had constant headaches, and was irritable and moody.

Yes, our diet can contribute to our feeling energetic and well or tired and sick. Food can also impact our thinking, mood, and behavior.

"You are what you eat" also emphasizes that we are responsible for what we eat. What do you eat? And I don't only mean your intake of food. Let me ask it another way: What do you consume? What movies do you watch? What music do you listen to?

What we take in will either give us freedom—or take it away!

And yes, you are responsible for this: "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” (Matthew 6:24 NIV)

I served two masters at that time. I have always loved Jesus, but I also wanted to be loved by others. And if I am honest, my desire to be loved by others was greater than my desire to be loved by Jesus.

Today, I know that serving two masters can be dangerous. This desire almost cost me my life.

I don't know what it could be with you. Maybe you sing the most beautiful worship songs on Sundays, but during the week, the most unpleasant swear words come out of your mouth...

God wants you to be happy and healthy! And you will be if you serve Him alone!

Just review your consumption today. Bring the unhealthy stuff to the cross... and experience His freedom!

Gladly I pray today quite consciously for you!

You are a miracle!
