 Addiction

 I heard a man in our church say, “Everyone has a story to tell.” I thought about that for a few days and decided, that I do have a story to tell and everyone needs to hear this one!

This is a group of stories within a single story. It is a story of life filled with physical pain, which led to an unawareness of drug addiction and a battle of the physical, mental, and spiritual, ending in victory through Jesus....to continue

When I was praying one night in all my prayers, first I always praise God for my husband and my healing and I thank him for what he is doing in our life. He showed me that we are just like clay vessels; some are old, cracked, broken and molded....to continue 

Twenty plus years ago I had two beautiful little girls that I loved very, very much . One morning I came home from work and their father had murdered both of them....to continue

We get up, open our closets and complain about not having anything to wear. Jesus didn’t have a closet full of clothes, don’t you think God could have given Jesus the best designer suits and shoe to wear.

We open our pantry and say there is nothing to eat, even though it is full. Jesus didn’t have a pantry. Do you think there were restaurants in the desert or on the mountain side? No, but God fed him.

Then we look at our house and moan and complain because it is not as big or nice as we would like. Jesus didn’t have a house, but God provided him shelter. He didn’t have a nice soft bed, but God gave him rest.

We moan and groan about our cars, but Jesus didn’t have a car, he walked.

God always provided for Jesus and he will provide for us, if we will give our heart to God and he demands it all. We can not serve God half hearted. People think just because they go to church on Sunday, they can live in the worldly way the rest of the time. They are in for a rude awaking. God wants all of you and me. People that think they can buy their way in to heaven are sadly mistaken, it does not work that way; God does not take payoffs, he wants our whole heart.

I had rather be poor, homeless, and hungry and serving my God than all the wealth in the world. Because, God is going to take care of us and all our needs. What good is being rich and letting it becoming your god. You can not take it with you when you die, and I don’t think they have banks in heaven either.

Jesus gave his life for you and me. He paid the price for our sins. We can not pay God for our sins with cash or pretty things. That is not what he wants from us. He wants us, he wants us to have all our needs met and he will take care of us.

But, we need to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

1Th 1:9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
