When you "mess up," Satan works quickly to bind you in knots of self-condemnation and crippling remorse, because he knows you are likely to isolate in this state, losing your hope and health with each passing moment. But God wants to rescue you from these unholy bonds. Confess your sins today, and He will lovingly lead you to repentance and forgiveness, so you can breathe freely the air of His hope and promise. "Therefore, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus..." - Romans 8:1a (NIV) . . . . . #findingbalance #powerinchrist #freedominchrist #remorse #condemnation #godsforgiveness #jesus #repentance #forgiveness

Most of us don't want to be out of control; we're not sure we'll like how God chooses to win the war. But your best efforts at fighting your demons on your own pale in comparison to the strength He wields. If you are facing a tough battle today, be encouraged; you don't have to fight alone. Ask God to reveal His position in your battle, and then lean into Him as He fights for your freedom. "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Exodus 14:14 (NIV) . . . . #foodfreedom #eatingdisorderrecovery #christianeatingdisorderhelp #christianeatingdisordersupport #findingbalance
