New Fruit: 7 Days of Porn Recovery for WomenSample

At the beginning of time, shame entered the world through a garden. It entered when our foremother listened to a lie and ate fruit from the wrong tree. Even now, millennia later, we’re still listening to Satan whisper lies into our ears, “feeding back through every scar [we] have received,” so embedded in us that we think Satan’s voice is our own. 

But it’s not, and we don’t have to listen to it anymore. 

We are no longer attached to the vine of our sin and shame. We have been grafted onto the Tree of Life. In this life we will never bear perfect fruits—that’s the reality of this fallen world. We can stop bearing the fruits of shame and bear good and healthy fruits, yes; but they will not be perfect on this earth.

But there is a coming garden, at the heart of a city, where we will dwell with our God. All of the poison of shame within us will be completely gone. All the scars we bear from our past, visible and invisible, will be washed away. We will see the incomplete picture of marriage, and all of the sexual desires and brokenness within us, made whole as the Bride of Christ.

Read these words from The Jesus Storybook Bible aloud. Let them sink into your heart and mind as a promise:

And the King says, “Look! 

God and his children are together again. 

No more running away. Or hiding. 

No more crying or being lonely or afraid. 

No more being sick or dying.

Because all those things are gone.

Yes, they’re gone forever.

Everything sad has come untrue.

And see—I have wiped away every tear from every eye!” 

Sister, He will make you new.
