Thoughts for the Day


An eating disorder is a perceived external solution to inner turmoil. The focus on body size is an attempt to convert a worry about something inside oneself to something outside. For example, if a person's thoughts of "Am I good enough?" become "Am I thin enough?" she has created an external and measurable scale of her self-worth. When we focus on weight as the source of discomfort, our real problems are not resolved. We are relying on an external substance to alleviate internal distress.

The truth is, nothing we do on our own will give us a lasting peace. Nothing we do will make us perfect. But you know what? That's OK, because God loves us anyhow. No matter what we have or haven't done, no matter how smart or pretty or thin we are, we are his children and he loves us unconditionally.


Consider This . . .

What do we need to do? We need to ask him for forgiveness. We need to rely on him instead of ourselves. We need to let him love us and take care of us.

His love is perfect. His love is unconditional. His love lasts forever. And he loves you.
