I know that God's grace is enough to cover every sin and that His grace never "runs out," but I have often felt like I have used up all my grace with God because I have sinned so many times. Sometimes I feel like He is going to just say, "Enough! God away. I'm tired of your issues and your constant sin." If you read through the Old Testament, you will see how great God's grace it. Despite the many times the Israelites turned away from God, He continued to lead them and provide for them. His grace never ran dry no matter how many times they sinned, and His love for them never changed.
This is a good reminder that He will not run out of grace for me. He does not want me to stay in a perpetual state of sin and despair. God does not allow me to struggle with food because He is angry with me; it is because He loves me so much that He allows my struggle with food to be a physical indication of a spiritual problem. That does not mean that I can justify my bingeing, but it does mean that there is good that comes out of this struggle because God works all things together for good for those who love Him.
I am so thankful for God's never-ending grace. I am so thankful that He never gives up on me. I am so thankful that His love for me is not dependent on what I do, but on who He is and what He has done for me. May His incredible grace and love motivate me to resist temptation and follow Him.
"Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need" (Hebrews 4:16).
