Drug Addiction


My friends do drugs, in time society will legalize more of it.
It's so easy to get, and such an unreal experience and I don't use, "that much".
It was suppose to be "cool" but now I'm messed up.
Now it is costing me, and more than I may imagine.
Who am I really? Where are my friends?
Am I losing my life, my family, my hopes and dreams?
Can I rid this from my life and get my whole life back?
 

2 Tim 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Phil 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

John 10:10 The thief comes to steal to kill and destroy, I am come that you might have life abundantly

John 4:10 If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."

John 7:38-39 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive.

Matt 11:28-30 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
"


What starts as so cool leaves more lives out in the cold - just look at E. Hastings. 

But it's not that far away if we look deeper.  It may be within the walls of our homes and not just with our kids. Some make it more sophisticated with pharmaceuticals.

Society 40 years ago said and did what it says has to be done today to beat it.  We need more education, programs and money.  Those have been injected for years and today we have more addiction, wrecked lives and still think what has had limited to no effect is supposed to make all the difference.  Our plans are not working.  We need something totally different and stronger to stop the plight.  We also need something to heal the damage that has been done to lives young and old.  We need support for those who have been hurt close to those losing the battle with drugs.

It's all part of the "devil's" lie, who's aim is to steal, kill or just destroy your very life.  He comes as a good idea, for fun.  Gets control and then drains you from the inside out. So now that your life is wrecked and there seems to be no hope, was it such a great idea from the start?

There is not something but a "someone" who can make all the difference.  Unfortunately many have disregarded His offer and remain in their turmoil.  Maybe you have tried every means to find release and healing but you remain at a loss in life.  The One who restored sight to the blind, gave strength to legs that never walked and even life to those who had died, cares about you and is just waiting for you to come to Him.  He likes to get rid of the old and make all things new.  Not as a magic wand to use and set aside, but as a friend, and savior for your very soul.
