I need to know; I have a feeling that God isn't happy with what I'm doing to myself and I'm afraid my punishment will be Hell. I can't eat- I don't want to eat and all it does is ruin my body and I punish myself for not being at the weight I want to be -by cutting. I know God says to not harm myself but its what I deserve... Please, give an honest answer if there are any biblical references it will be gladly appreciated! Thank you all, you all are wonderful. GOD BLESS YOU, and you all were blessings ever since the day you were born. YOUR SISTER IN CHRIST, BELITA.

God is all-forgiving. If you believe in him and have a real relationship with him then he will forgive you. God loves you the way you and that should make you happy. You shouldn't do those things to yourself because you are changing the way God made you. God doesn't want you to be pole thin with cuts on your body. You are perfect the way he made you. God died for our sins so he will forgive you as long as you believe in your relationship with him. Please let God help you. Please stay the way he made you. Good luck to you and God Bless!!

I am struggling with that too (except that I am ok with my weight). If you understand Bible, WHEN YOU ABOUT TO CUT, remember this: we cannot make a scratch on but (have to well keep) the house for the Holy Spirit, LOOK AT : 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. AND
How can we glorify HIM if we cut ?Try look at :2 Thessalonians 1:10
I'd see u in heaven. For the meantime, pray and see a psychiatrist. God bless.

Of course not - Belita you sound awesome.
God looks on the heart is what the Bible says - and it is clear that you love him in your heart.
Everytime you feel the need to worry about your weight, or think about punishment PRAY! Because God is close, as close as you want him to be and he loves you more than you can imagine.
He came and he gave his life not for perfect people because there are none - but for broken people that need him like you and me. And the same Jesus that went to the cross in our place because he loves you so much is the same today. The Bible says he is "the same- yesterday, today and forever" - his love cannot change. Just seek him with all your heart and mind because he will bring you the healing you want.
Jesus also said "his yoke is easy and his burden is light" that means he wants to take your problems and care for you and give you rest - and he will with your faith.
Pray " Father, I know you love me, and that you care about me so much. Come into my life now to bring healing, peace and a deep knowledge of you. For you are good, caring and the source of love. Heal my heart and show yourself to me so that you can be seen in my life to others. I bless your name and thank you. In Jesus name. Amen"
God Bless You - and know that you are prayed for.

It sounds like you are a Christian so therefore you should know the answer. We as Christians sin and when you do you need to repent and ask for forgiveness. I think also you have other issues that you probably need to seek counseling for. God will deliver you of your desire to cut yourself. He will also give you your appetite back. You need to seek God and be in constant prayer. You can overcome this. You will overcome this and you will be used by God later in life to help somebody else through this. I have prayed for you. Good Luck and God Bless you.

Belita....your body is suppose to be God's temple, right? Why do you want to distroy it? Are you trying to say what God has made is not perfect? No....this has nothing to do with how you look. It has to do with control issues and you need some professional help immediately before you die young and skinny. This is also a selfish disease. It will take everyone you love with it. Please seek some help. God loves you, honey and he didn't make any junk.

Girl, If you feel like god isn't happy, maybe god is trying to get something through to you. Just sit back and listen. Don't run from god out of guilt of your actions, god always has his arms open. When i was severely depressed i just talked to god about how i felt, my fears, my feelings of anger, and my sins. And at the end i would always ask him to help me with all of these if it be his will. This not only helped me out of my depression, but it gave me a spirituality with god that actually made me peaceful and happy, something i never thought would happen. Maybe you should try it.

I don't know which god you believe in but all sacred texts are about love and forgiveness. I do not think this is about any god, I think it is about you and the need to punish yourself for something. My second insight is that given your behaviour you are most likely a victim of abuse of some kind and for that you need to seek proper help. This is not a message from god, this is a message from one human to another, I will think of you sister and hope that you find help soon.

Belita, you're not alone but you do need help. Try turning to can adult you trust and they can help you find a therapist who specializes in eating disorders and self mutilation. God Bless you and good luck.

I'm sorry you're having a rough time. I believe in a loving God, not a vengeful or destructive God. I know that He knows you're struggling. He wants to help you, not hurt you! Just turn to Him and simply ask for His help. It doesn't have to be a fancy prayer, just "help! I can't handle this!" From the dawn of time, your Father has known you and loved you. He's not waiting for you to get it together. He's waiting for you to come to Him with open, empty arms. If God was a vengeful and hateful God, I know I wouldn't be around to live another day! We've all made our mistakes and we all hurt, mentally or physically or both. God picks us up from that heap on the ground and makes us whole again. Pray to him for guidance, love, and healing. In Christian Love, Kimberly.

Well i dont have an exact biblical reference but your bady is gods temple..im think about it....poeple who get tattoos are no different from people who get plastic surgery. our body is an self image of GOD so when you hate the way you look it hurts God because it like you hate the way he looks. And besides as a Christian, you should love the way you are because God loves the way you look and feel and that is all that should matter.
