I gained 2 pounds. My goal is to lose those two pounds, plus 1 by January 15th….In the past, I would have spent so much time beating myself up about the 2 pounds that I might have thrown in the towel – completely. This time I recognized that this situation calls for grace, not punishment. I am keeping the focus on faith….At my weigh-in on Saturday we’ll see if it works.” Update: Well I am very happy to report that focusing on faith worked! I lost the 2 pounds I gained over the holidays plus 2 more for a total of 4 pounds this week! Follow me: I’ll show you how feeding faith helps create balance in every area of your life.

One of the things I admire about Steve is that he has stayed true to who he is while allowing his faith to help him evolve into a better man.  That’s all any of us can do.  God does not require anymore from us.  Steve represents the power of the Gospel and his life defines truth faith.  He knows he’s not perfect.  But he also acknowledges that God has opened every door he has walked through on the road to success.  Jesus came to give hope to the hopeless and to show the way to those who are lost.  If we were all perfect we wouldn’t need grace.  Those of us who call ourselves Christians have no right to distort Christianity by judging other people based on things they do that we don’t like.  People are responsible for their own relationship with God.  Marvin Sapp sang a song during the tribute last night:  “He saw the best in me when everyone else around me could only see the worst in me”.   What a powerful statement!  And one I know to be true!  When I was arrested, prosecuted, and sentenced to prison, everyone around me could only see the worst.  But I never lost faith.  I remained focused on the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  My faith not only got me through three years of prison, it has brought me to a moment of clarity about my purpose and an attitude of certainty that God will ALWAYS have my back.  The best is yet to come.  I am so glad that God saw the best in me.  He sees the best in you too.  Feed your faith – see what God sees!
