Romans 12:1-2


Romans 12:1-2-''Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.''

According to the 2013 report ''F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future'', produced by Trust for America's Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, in 2010 36% of America was obese. In 2030 approximately 50% of our nation will be obese.

1. This happens because of God's mercy; His forgiveness, kindness, and acceptance of us.

2. Start the journey to healthy living NOW! Don't give up no matter how hard or difficult it may appear to be.
