Wearing black does not make you look smaller

I have dealt with my weight for the last 8 years, but of the last four years I have lost approximately 55 pounds. Prior to losing the weight I was self conscious of my weight thinking that black would somehow make me look smaller and more approachable, confident, intelligent, not lazy, and all of the other thing you might be thinking of yourself about your weight. When the real issue was that I needed to let go of finding comfort in foods, letting go of the hurt, yearning to be a part of the crowd.

What I realized was the stains of sin I was wearing around my heart . So many people wear black thinking that it makes them look smaller, when in actually you look big in Gods eyes. Darkness is one thing that exposes our deeds for what they are. Let us put off and come to the one who allows living water to flow and requires that we believe and we will not die, but that we have been forgiven with our weight, and thoughts our mouths and our minds. It took 3 nails and a tree and a savior and we are free. Freedom is here if you except it.. Do you, then comment or are you willing to wear the black for eternity. It my make you look less noticeable down here, but big in Gods eyes whatever shade of black you are wearing.
