One of my favorite shows is the Biggest Loser. It is an emotional show to watch - especially, the first episode when you see people get on the scale and realize how heavy they have become. When they arrive at the ranch, they all have a huge challenge ahead and it is amazing to watch their physical and personality transformation. I absolutely love the finale and seeing the results of the contestants hard work pay off when they get on the scale for the last time. Their appearance is obviously dramatically changed once they have dropped all that weight. But what amazes me even more than their appearance is the amount of confidence they have gained now that they feel better about themselves. In my opinion, the show's greatest accomplishment is not the weight they lose, but the new excitement about themselves they gain!
When watching that show I can't help to relate it to the change one experiences when they accept Christ as their Savior! A complete life transformation takes place when we invite Jesus to be Lord of our lives! Our priorities, outlook on life and sometimes even our appearance can be completely different. Often times, others will notice the difference in our eyes - it is the joy of the Lord coming through! However, just like the contestants on the Biggest Loser we have to stay disciplined to continue to live our new lifestyle even when the temptations are all around us! It is not an easy thing to do but now you are not doing it alone - once you allowed Christ to be Lord of your life He will never leave you.
