Being Patient, Looking At Food & Finding True Peace & Joy

1)

Everything worthwhile is uphill. 

Everything worthwhile takes time.

Be patient.

2) 

Culture's view of looking at food:

• How many calories is this? 
• Is this "good" or "bad" for me? 
• When will this food go bad? (shelf life)
• How much cardio do I need to do to burn this off? 
• What foods do I need to avoid?

True health's view of looking at food:

• Is this a nutrient dense food?
• How beneficial is this? Physically AND relationally, emotionally, etc?
• What will this food do to my body? 
• Is this stewarding God's temple well? 
• What foods do I need to add?

3)

Myth: My inner world will be filled with more peace & joy once my external world is perfect.

Truth: My external world will never be perfect. True peace & joy, that transcends circumstances, only comes from intimacy & alignment with Jesus.
