Melanoma Band-aid

by Bruce Wadd 

 

In a country such as mine – Australia – melanoma or skin cancer is common. The high exposure to sunshine, and the social pressure of being well tanned means many people get way too much sun exposure.

 

But when a melanoma is discovered, would you just put a Band-aid on it as your remedy? What’s the point with such a life-threatening malady? None whatsoever! The problem is much deeper than a surface solution. The damage is already beyond the help of a Band-aid!

 

Facing personal issues in your life needs to be approached with a similar focus. Getting rid of insecurity, pride, arrogance, selfishness - and the list goes on - needs a similar level of care and attention as melanoma treatment.

 

Band-aid approaches just won’t ‘do it’ for the long term. It’s heart surgery you need – God changing the desires on the inside! This is your only chance of survival!!

 

Let God show you what He wants to change, and then let the Master surgeon go to work on cleansing your life and extinguishing the problem.

 

“For God is at work within you, helping you want to obey Him, and then helping you do what He wants.”

Philippians 2:13

 

TODAY, let God do the necessary healing… no Band-Aids needed!
