Recovering

Today I was thinking how truly blessed I really am. Yes, I do have clothes, food, and a roof over my head, but I was thinking in a little bit of a different sense; I know Jesus and he Loves me. Whenever I get down or whatever it may be, it is usually because I haven't been in the Word and in Prayer. By being in the Word Jesus restores my Spirit and fulfills me. It is really quite amazing if you've never experienced it. It is the perfect medicine. One thing God has been pressing me with lately is that we all sin. Ya, you knew that, but let me expand. So many people, Christians and non-Christians get caught up in the empty pleasures. What do I mean by that? Well, we are living for things that don't give us a since of fulfillment. You might go to the bar or a party and get drunk, but where did that get you? Do you feel any better now? Maybe you get involved in a relationship and have sex and commit sexual sins. Do you feel any better now? Maybe you worry about everything through out the day. Do you feel any better now? Maybe you lust over women or look at pornography. Do you feel any better now? The answer to all of these questions is NO! They did provide a temporary pleasure, but we still come up empty. That empty feeling is still there. We all have that sin we are recovering from. What are you recovering from? What is your sin or sins? Think about it. The only way to overcome these sins and have a fulfilling life is to get in the Word and be in Prayer.
