Bible Reading: Psalm 139:14, 1 Corinthians 6:19
Memory Verse: And you are complete in Him… Colossians 2:10a
A man from Minnesota in the United States has undergone a leg surgery to add five inches to his height after struggling to talk to women for years due to self-doubt about his stature. He tried medications and even contacted a ‘spiritual healer’ online. He said, “I’ve struggled with my height. Even when I was in high school, I was always unhappy with my height.
When I was like 15, I realized most of my peers were taller than me. It started getting to me gradually.” He learned about a procedure that could lengthen his legs, and he began working extra hours to save up enough money for the surgery during college. He underwent surgery to add three inches to his height in 2016, but seven years later he had a second round and he is using a height lengthening device.
Doctors broke his tibia and fibula bones and inserted magnetic, limb-lengthening nails into them. He must now use a height-lengthening device three times per day, pulling the cut bones apart one millimetre at a time. Friends, can you imagine the rigour a man had to go because of a void in his heart.
Come to a point in your life where you are fully persuaded that God cannot make a mistake with your life talkless of your body parts. Your body is His temple. How then can he miscreate it. Facial surgery, breast enlargement, buttock/hip enlargement, etc, are all pointers to a void in your heart perhaps no surgeon on earth can ultimately fill. Rest in the fact that God cannot make a mistake with anything that concerns you. Come to your rest today. Absolutely surrender to His will today.
Quote: Why should a creature consider the works of His Creator as imperfect?
Prophetic Decree: May the Lord purge you of the lies the devil pumps into your heart in Jesus name.
