Look At the Size Of Your Heart, Not the Size Of the Beast
First off I want to start off by thanking each and every single one of you that read my last post “You Are Not the Problem” the response and effect it has had on a lot of you is just so inspiring and encouraging and I am so thankful and blessed to be in a position to help. And now as promised I am going to discuss ERP and I pray this post can inspire some of you to no longer be afraid, and take the steps necessary to recover!
I know for a lot of you life is already hard. Even the thought of willingly throwing yourself into an exposure isn’t realistic and in all honesty is probably frightening. But DONT be afraid! You already have been thru so much, you have already proven to have the HEART of a WARRIOR, everyday your battling with these thoughts, so what is one more battle to you? I want to talk about David V Goliath to help put this in perspective for some of you. David’s only job was to tend his fathers sheep, he was a young boy and wasn’t seen as a warrior. His brothers and fellow countrymen were in battle when Goliath came out and disgraced their country and intimidated them. Nobody wanted to challenge Goliath but David who was only a shepherd and young boy had the courage to step up and fight Goliath the reason why is because, WHILE EVERYBODY WAS MEASURING THE SIZE OF THE BEAST, DAVID WAS MEASURING THE SIZE OF HIS HEART ❤️. Yea Goliath was big but David’s faith and his heart were much bigger than the beast, and that’s how YOU ARE. I know this exposure is a beast, it’s intimidating but YOUR HEART AND YOUR STRENGTH IS MUCH BIGGER THAN ANY BEAST, ANY OBSESSION, ANY COMPULSION. You see David had every right to be scared, he was only a child, but when he went to Saul and said put me out there he said “I already had to slay bears and wolves from hurting my fathers sheep, I can handle this”. The same is true for you, you already have had to slay bears and wolves, so what’s one more beast to you, yea this one is a little bit bigger but you’ve already slain everything else in your path! You put your heart, mind, body and soul thru so much so what’s one more battle?! THE SIZE OF YOUR HEART IS MUCH BIGGER THAN THE SIZE OF THE BEAST. GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE. He will not let any disease hurt you, you are his chosen one, he loves you! You don’t have to ask God for strength because he already gave it to you! David was a poor shepherd but after he slayed Goliath he became a rich King, and not only did his life changed but his people, friends and family lives changed as well they didn’t live in fear anymore. Once you beat your Goliath your family and friends won’t be afraid anymore, you will embrace like you never have before! So take the step, start off small. Expose yourself to your obsessions, you don’t need to be afraid! Start with a one minute exposure and work your way up. If it’s a mental obsession write a story, say your fear out loud and see how you feel, they are only thoughts and cannot hurt you! Always remember these thoughts are your beast and yes they are big and scary but your heart and strength is twice and big!!
