When I was younger, my grandma told me she would give me $20 per hand if I could quit biting my nails. See, I didn’t know when biting my nails started and, until my 30’s, I was embarrassed by my hands. I had one person tell me “they are like nubs, you hardly HAVE nails”. Anxiety kept stacking; each person I had to shake hands with I was afraid to even reach out.
In 2019, the Lord came for me, when I came to the end of “self”. In a moment He lifted the shame the guilt and my anxiety. I won’t say it doesn’t come back at times to “check in” but I’ll check it right out– all I have to do is look to these hands. They are God’s hands now.
By HIS nails, I have nails. I am proud of these hands…they serve a mighty God & they serve others. It was the desire of my heart to stop biting my nails since I was very little. No bribe to stop, no anxiety medicine to stop, no shame to stop would work.
He alone fulfilled this in my life.
Repent is truth. And the Truth will set you free.
