I Nurture You (2015 NEDA Week)


I nurture you.
 

God nurtures you.

A lot of us misuse food and or disordered eating behaviors as a comfort tactic. Whether it be stress, depression, anxiety, loneliness or boredom, we often look to food and our disordered behaviors to fill in some sort of emotional gap.

However, it never really works, does it? Sooner or later, darker emotions return and we feel worse than ever. We look to comfort but there is none.

That’s because, yet again, we’re looking in the wrong direction. Only God is our comfort.

“As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”

Isaiah 66:13

He longs to nurture us, take care of our needs and hurts. But He won’t go against our will, even if that will is bent on pushing His loving help away.

Right now, there is Someone Who is an expert in soothing, comforting and loving. Turn to Him now!
