Come on, you can do it! Give me one more!

Come on, you can do it! Give me one more. That is just one of the expressions a personal trainer at a gym or in one of those famous exercise videos would say trying to encourage you to get to the completion of your exercise routine. The trainer knows it hurts, the trainer knows you are tired and fatigued but the trainer also knows that if you keep at it and don't give up, the results will be far greater than the pain. Then and only then you'll be glad you didn't quit. Exercising is all about commitment and endurance, specially if your goal is to build muscle. When you're trying to built muscle you really have to commit to a very rigid exercise routine that includes lifting heavy weights and a strict diet. You will have to stop eating carbs and fat and concentrate on in taking protein, a lot of it. At this point I know you are ready for me to explain, well here I go. In life we go through difficult situations in which we think we're alone, or we feel the pain is so much you actually feel like if you are going to die. Situations that don't seem to have a positive outcome for you, situations that get you so tired you feel you can't get up in the morning. They could be in your marriage, in you job, in your relationship with your kids or your parents. In any case these situations are exercise routines for our souls. The trainer, GOD, knows how much pain you are going through but He also knows that this exercise is the only way to built those muscles that will make you stronger. You will have to eliminate bad carbs from your diet. In other words, you will have to eliminate some friendships that really, all they do is hold you down. They hold you down by feeding your depression with their negative perspective of your situation. They hold you down by giving you wrong advice that don't conform to what God says in His Word. Trust me, you know when you are being held down in any way. You will also have to eliminate fat from your diet. That means you will have to get rid of some habits that are really affecting you in a negative way. One could be your constantly focusing on just what's wrong in your life instead of counting your blessings. Another one could be desiring someone else's fortune and by that I mean being envious of others. And I know that you know what bad habits you need to loose, trust me I have many. So having said that, let's talk about what you can eat, proteins. In this case our protein is God's Word. In His Word (The Bible) we find motivation, rest, hope, strength and everything it is that our situation calls for. You can't get enough of His Word, the more you intake, the more results you'll see. Now I'm not saying it's a magic potion. We still feel the pain whenever we have to lift those heavy weights. We still get tired and feel like we just want to quit. But there is when The Trainer says; COME ON, YOU CAN DO IT! GIVE ME ONE MORE.
