Proverbs 3:8 (NLT), “Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.”

Whatever may be ailing you, whether it’s emotional or physical, realize the story is not over. No matter how bad the times may seem or how broken you may feel, please don’t give up. There is a better life for you!

Some of you know my story of going through two back surgeries to repair a herniated disk. The resulting nerve damage in my leg left me unable to resume many activities I loved. I couldn’t play basketball anymore, I coukdn’t run and I couldn’t lift weights as I had before.

For about a year, I was in a pretty depressed state. I was feeling sorry for myself because of the things I couldn’t do. The more my emotional state went down, the more my physical ailments bothered me. My attitude dictated how I was feeling.

Finally, I had to make a decision, was I going to live in self-pity or was I going to pick myself up and change my attitude. With encouragement from my wife I decided to change my attitude and you know what, physically I started to feel better. While my nerve has not healed yet, I no longer focus on what I can’t do. I now focus on the things I can still do. That has made all the difference for me!

Healing will come my friends but it may come in ways you don’t expect. Change your attitude and change the outcome!
