August 9


John 8:10-11 - NLT
Then Jesus stood up again and said to her, "Where are your accusers?  Didn't even one of them condemn you?"  "No, Lord," she said.  And Jesus said, "Neither do I.  Go and sin no more."

The doctor was going to kill her. Kate had been told to lose thirty pounds over six months. For awhile she had done really well. She took off twenty in the first three months, but lately she had gained again, for a net loss of only about twelve pounds. Kate was astonished when the doctor merely encouraged her to try harder. Christ, like the doctor, offers us no condemnation. He wants us to lose weight for our own sake, not for His. He wants to help us, not hurt us. Take comfort in the acceptance of Jesus Christ.

Today's Thought: Even when I give in, I'm still a good person.

Today's Tip:

Stress-Buster: Give Yourself Some Quiet Time.
Schedule inviolate periods of time into your workday for tasks that are pleasurable, even if not overwhelmingly productive. Try to do this even when you feel rushed. A brisk 10-minute walk will give you as much energy as a cup of coffee
