Drugs have became such an epic these days & it saddens me greatly! I've seen people who are in such a stable lifestyle lose everything due to turning to drugs. A strong man who worked hard everyday, paid for his home at a young age, raise two beautiful daughters, lose it all for turning to drugs. Several women never get to truly enjoy the time with their children as they grew up b|c they chose drugs. And yes I say 'chose' b|c it IS our choice! & let me 1st clear up that a drug is anything we feel we have to have or 'need'..something we take, use or drink to deal with life.
~for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.~ 2Peter 2:19
We ALL have problems & hardships during our life, God even tells us we will, but drugs are just a 'quick' momentary fix! It will not take away or change the pain or issue. In fact I'm here to tell u it will 100 percent make the pain &|or issue WORSE! All u do is cover that problem up with another problem --> the stress of how you're gonna get your next 'high' .. You will hurt the people that love u more than anything else due to selfishness, lies, anger, lack of interest, & betrayal. All this over only a *few minutes* of feeling 'happy'..
~If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.~ 1 Corinthians 12:26
A person who turns to drugs is like a person who commits suicide, selfish & weak. If fact, they are committing a slow death for themselves. Many parents will say they'd die for their children. Well how about we take a different approach, let's say we'll LIVE for our children! Life is sooo hard, I know this! I have struggled with something everyday of my life for as long as I can remember. & I too have turned to some types of 'quick fixes' to cope with the pain or stress in the past. But, it NEVER did resolved anything!!!
~ That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.~ 2 Corinthians 12:10
**Young people who may reading this: please please please never turn to drugs, it WILL ruin your life worse than anything you're going thru right now! Seek counsel! There are plenty of us out there that won't judge u & want to help u if we can! We HAVE to deal with our issues, they won't go away any other way !!!!
~On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." ~ Mark 2:17
**People who may have already turned to drugs: Seek help! The way to prove your strength back is by admitting u have a problem! They are many rehabilitation facilities out there & I have the up most respect for all the people who seek help! We all makes mistakes but admitting our faults is what grows us !!!!
~~But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for u, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.~~ 2Corinthians 12:9
Bless!!
