Magic Raspberry Weight Loss Drops

Now that the Super Bowl is over, I’m finally ready to get serious about eating healthy and losing weight. Yeah, I’ve been putting it off for long enough. This run of unrestricted food enjoyment has been fun. Too fun really.

With 30lbs to lose, I have my work cut out for me. I know what to do and how to do it – I’ve done it before, and I’m confident I can do it again.

Yesterday was my first day of eating right. Midway through the day, I starting thinking about how nice it would be if there were some magic raspberry weight loss drops…

It would be so much easier. And more fun.

If I could eat like I have been, and just add a couple of magic raspberry weight loss drops to my tongue each day, that would be amazing.

Also, if I could have magic drops for EVERYTHING, that would even better.

I need magic drops for my relationships.

I need magic drops to keep me from sinning.

I need magic drops that clean my house and wash the dishes.

I need magic drops that pay my debts…

1.5 million from #EsuranceSave30 should do the trick, am I right?

Sorry, I had to take a jab at it.

It seems like everyone wants magic drops.

Unfortunately, the answer to most of our problems isn’t a quick fix. More often than not, the solution comes through unglamorous hard work and discipline over a long period of time. I know, I know… not very sexy. But it’s true.

So let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give up, or quit. —Galatians 6.9

Even though I wish I could have some magic raspberry weight loss drops, I don’t actually believe they’re what I need.

Like everyone, I love the idea of receiving something wonderful that I did nothing to earn (a beautiful body, enormous bank accounts, the best friends anyone has ever had). The idea is nice, but I don’t believe that’s how things work – unless we’re talking about my place in God’s family. But that’s another subject entirely; that’s all about grace, not magic drops.

The things I need and want in life will not suddenly appear because of magic drops.

Easy come, easy go, but steady diligence pays off. —Proverbs 13.11

I’d like to hear your perspective…
