I reread yesterday's post and realized that I had ended it by saying "This is what I was born to do". That sentiment is a conclusion that has been growing gradually for me as I have worked on my own addictions and as I have written this blog.
If we want to unlock passion and enthusiasm in our daily lives, I believe that we have to be able to say: "This is what I was born to do. This is why God put me on the planet!" We are in a war here on earth. What we do every day matters. I believe that my small efforts are part of a larger scheme. I hope that my simple contributions will help to save families from addiction. That is why this is so important to me. I hope that He can use my efforts for a wise purpose. I trust in Him.

ReplyDeleteAddiction is a complicated topic. I've heared it said that the best you can do is to replace one addiction with another (e.g. smoking for exercise). Perhaps this is true for the short term, as a crutch, and perhaps this is true when you rely only on the arm of flesh, but I like to believe that all things are possible with the Lord.
ReplyDeleteYour attitude toward this reminds me of a quote that esesentally says, giving to others what you want most can heal you. Seeking freedom from addiction is a brave quest which too few pursue.
