So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! - 1 Cor. 10:12
Recently, I got stuck in traffic. At first I couldn't figure out what the delay was, but then I saw the problem. A man was driving a truck with a camper on it, and the camper door was swinging wide open! Drivers all around slowed down to honk and point to the danger. People attempted to warn the man of his unsafe condition.
I made an effort to get the driver's attention by waving, but he just nodded and smiled. I got the impression that he knew the door was open. I assumed that either he didn't care, or there was a factor unknown to me that made him comfortable with the situation.
I could not help thinking about the parallel between that traffic jam and my life. As I progressed in my eating disorder, there were many warnings along the way that I chose to ignore.
People remarked about my varying weight and I could always come up with an excuse for it. Though I had many tests done because of my awful stomach problems, the doctors seemed mystified as to the source. Dentists commented on the poor condition of my teeth and gums, but I chose to deny that my eating disorder was a serious threat to my health.
Are there warning signals in your life that you are choosing to ignore? Pay attention before it's too late!
Lord, thank you for saving my life.

Dear Precious One,
I remember the day I met you, what a wall you had built up for one so young! God allowed me to see into your tender, wounded heart, past all of the harsh words and glaring looks to see you as HE sees you; a precious soul that is unconditionally loved by HIM and should be by everyone else! HE has kept you on my heart and I pray for you regularly. You questioned HIS love for you but I hope that you are now learning to trust that HE is always Truthful and Faithful. I know that you also felt worthless and shameful but I pray that is no longer true and that you now believe that you are extremely valuable and uniquely talented! GOD has a purpose for your life, a wonderful plan that will bring you true joy if you stay focused on HIM. Please accept HIS gift of abundant life and allow HIM to comfort you with hope and peace as you walk with HIM and learn HIS ways. Remember, HE promises to never, ever abandon you!
