Addiction; When We Think That God Won’t Love Us We Presume Too Much

Addiction; When We Think That God Won’t Love Us We Presume Too Much

When we lose our way and when we substitute the real pleasures of good living for the false and transient ecstasy of intoxication, we do a lot of things we’re not proud of, and we do a lot of things that Jesus would never wish us to do.

Only through Christian living can we find peace and happiness, and only through Christian service to others and for God can we fall asleep easy every night, knowing we do all we can for ourselves and for our Lord. Yet even when we lose our way, and even when we commit terrible sins, Jesus forgives us, His help and His power is only a prayer away.

It’s easy to start to feel that we are not worthy of God’s eternal compassion, and when we sink ever lower into the despair of addiction we too often start to feel worthless, worthless to ourselves, to our families, and even worthless to our God.

Spiritual conceit gets us into wrong behaviors, and even wrong thoughts; spiritual conceit takes us into pain and addiction, and it also fools us into thinking we are no longer worthy of God’s help and compassion.

But who are we to question God’s word. Jesus says he will forgive us, He will help us, and He does love us; always. Spiritual conceit gets us into trouble, and only through better living by the words of the bible can we get past our internal deception and turmoil, and again realize that Jesus has always been there for us, and that He has a plan for our lives; if we will only accept His Love and His strength into our hearts.

Christian Drug rehab

We do not need a church or minister to feel God’s love and live for him, and all that needs to be said was written in the only book of real worth; but there is something incredibly therapeutic and soul salving about the communal power of prayer. As Christians in despair we look to other Christians for assistance, and through the help of other Christians we again come to understand God’s plan and wish for our lives, and once again emerge from spiritual conceit and into a better living for God.

If you have a drug or alcohol abuse problem or addiction, you cannot get better on your own, and to think that you can is simply more of the same spiritual conceit that got you into trouble in the first place.

You need to pray, you need to pray to the Lord to help you overcome your weaknesses. You need to ask for the strength to overcome those bad habits that pull at you, and plead for a better understanding of his message towards a better Christian life.

If you have a drug problem, consider a Christian Rehab. All you need to know about recovery is contained within the bible, and through group study, group prayer, and even private Christian counseling, you can come to a better understanding of what led you into pain, and the steps you need to take to ensure you never again walk that path back to despair.

You can get better, Jesus forgives you, you are worthy of help. Work the Christian 12 steps to sobriety today, and start enjoying a better Christian life tomorrow.
