“Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,'
and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.”
Matthew
5:37
It’s not
about getting better all by ourselves. That approach can lead to disastrous
consequences. We need help. We need God. We need to do something which is not
our typical, addictive, unhealthy response. After all…
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end
thereof are the ways of death.”
Proverbs 14:12
It is
crucial we are completely honest with ourselves and our lives. Our attitude
toward recovery and change can be part of our healing toolkit or it can serve
as a gigantic obstacle to our improved health and lives. Our decision plays a
big role in the results we experience.
Regardless,
we need to be honest with our answer to getting well, be it yes or no.
Ambivalence, denial and any refusal to embrace our truth does not help us.
James 1:8
No, it’s not
easy; it’s often filled with pain. But the cliché is true: the best things in
life are difficult and worthy fighting for.
So, where
are you when it comes to your own healing? What do you say to a Jesus Who wants
to heal you? What are you willing to change?
Your answer
makes all the difference.
