Do you really want it?

How many times had I already bent over the toilet and made myself throw up? I know, it’s not a pleasant thought. And I knew that, too, and felt deeply ashamed. I really wanted to stop! Over and over, I told myself, “This is the last time today!” …until the next binge came. 😔

Maybe you’ve also tried again and again to solve your problem! And maybe you also ask yourself why it doesn’t work. But the big question is: “Do you really want it?” It takes a clear yes from deep within you to find a liberating answer!

"...If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed." (Mark 5:28, NIV)

I love the faith of this woman who, as we read about in Mark 5, had suffered for years! Even the doctors had told her she would never be healed and that she would have to “learn to live with her problem.”

If you read further, you see that this woman even managed to surprise Jesus with her faith! He loves it when we trust Him! And His response to her perseverance was simple: “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” (Mark 5:34, NIV)

In my own situation, I had to change my approach of trying to save myself and learn to cry out to Jesus in my mess (literally). No, I was not healed immediately. It took years until I was completely free from my eating disorder.

But my yes from deep inside, to believe, gave me an extra portion of strength each day and, yes, even new joy! 🤩

Do you want to surprise Jesus today with your perseverance and show Him that you need Him and truly believe that He can help you?

Even in your wound, there is a miracle!

You are a miracle!
