Last night I thought I would be passed out by now with my fears of having health issues around not eating enough. But God is giving me a strength beyond myself and showing me that He is enough and teaching me so much. I have anxiety around food when I am not able to eat at the right times because it has gotten me hospitalized once before because of the medications I was taking. But God is healing all those negative beliefs and giving me more freedom and faith.
2 Corinthians 4:7-18 was right on last night for me. "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed but not in despair; persecuted but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So, the death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
What an awesome experience we are partaking in! We won't even see the full eternal impact right now!
