Finding Balance

I had the opportunity to meet Constance Rhodes, the founder of Finding Balance, a Christian eating disorder non-profit.  She is doing great work to help those struggling with eating and body image issues to get the help they need. Her website has a lot of great information and videos, and I highly recommend signing up for her e-devotional.

All the information can be found at findingbalance.com

Here is a youtube video of Constance performing her song "More Than A Number"

Take this time to reflect on how your worth lies in more than a number.  1 Peter 2:9 says "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness and into his wonderful light".  Remember that YOU are chosen. You were created by God for His pleasure.  He is delighted with His creation... you!

Constance also has some compelling words about our culture and the dieting industry.
Take a look at this video...

What a staggering picture of the distortion of our culture today.  Consider all the money we spend to change how our body looks to make it "more appealing" on the outside.  1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says, "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?  You are not your own; you were bought at a price.  Therefore honor God with your body."
