Welcome new readers to the N.E.W. LIFE Seed blog. My hope and prayer for the N.E.W. LIFE Seed is that it will edify the Church, help ready the Bride of Christ for His return, and glorify God. I pray that what I share will help the Church to be spiritually, emotionally and physically healthy and help those who struggle with unhealthy food behaviors to trade their relationship with food with the incomparably more satisfying relationship with God. The
priority (that God showed me 30 years ago) is for people to grow in
relationship with Him and, in that process, to receive His Healing, Freedom,
and Abundant Life as has been His original design, and that we might glorify God
and be useful to Him. I plan to share a blog post once a week on Mondays. In this way I hope to do my part in edifying the
Church as Scripture asks of each one of His Living Stones, and to help as much
of the world as will have it:
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some
prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of
the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of
God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about
with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness
of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all
things into Him who is the head—Christ—from whom the whole body, joined and
knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working
by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying
of itself in love.”
Ephesians 4:11-16 (NKJV)
My prayer for the reader, and for the Church:
“For this reason I kneel before the Father,
from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray
that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his
Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through
faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may
have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and
long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses
knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations,
for ever and ever! Amen.”
Ephesians 3:14-21 (NIV)
To God be the Glory!
Your Christian dietitian and friend in Christ,
Diane
