Episode 213- Grace and Surrender Without the grace of God, I would never have surrendered to Him. I’d still be trying to work my way to heaven by trying to earn God’s favor God understands us though. He is not a distant far away God. He is the God of grace. We don’t have to earn anything. Failure is part of the learning process.  God gives us grace. It’s a gift, but its more than just a box we unwrap on Christmas morning. It has substance to it. It is endless. From grace we take and grace remains.  When I began my weight loss journey God showed me three pivotal steps I keep in mind. 1. I am powerless over food and my life has become unmanageable 2. I know there are times I am insane especially around certain foods. I need a Power greater than myself to restore me to sanity and set me free. 3. In order to stay free I surrender my will and life over to the care of God, the only One who is able to sustain and lead me on this journey. Overcomers Link: https://TeresaShieldsParker.com/overcomers
