In my 20's I went on a journey far away from God. I got involved in a lot of ugly things, including drugs. Food seems to be my drug of choice now, BUT I am learning to crave my Father more than food. For a christian, food can be come a good drug choice. After all, we have it at every church event. It's out in the open with no hesitation or judgment. I'm not anorexic, or bulimic, but I can use food as a comfort, and it had been my good friend for a long time. It is a hard friend to detach myself from. In the book "Made to Crave", the author says: We are made for more than this. More than this failure, more than this cycle, more than being ruled by taste buds. We were made for victory. Sometimes we just have to find our way to the truth.
God's truth says that I can rely on His incomparably great power for us who believe. Ephesians 1:19. Now to remember that I am more than all the excuses I can come up with, and the vicious cycle that I have gone through with my eating (overeating). I am made for more... Thank you Jesus!
