Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Look at her legs – they are so long and slender!

Man, I wish I had abs like that.

Wowser – look at her arms. She could totally beat me up.

Comparisons. We all do it from time to time. Or all the time. Last month I talked about comparison.

Totally not helpful. Even if we are fit and healthy, we will not look like that girl. Because we are not her. We all have different shapes and sizes. No matter how healthy we eat or how much we workout. We will always have our basic, God-given frame. I will always have my dad’s stocky build. I will never have little, skinny legs. And that’s okay. I just won’t be buying any skinny jeans.

This month I challenge to you accept your body type. Whatever it is. Take that body type you have and get fit with it. And be thankful your don’t have this bod.

The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
