Serenity Saint February 15, 2023 Emptiness

I can still remember the feeling of emptiness that I felt when I was lost in my addiction. Many of you may know the feeling I'm referring to, the dark, cold, empty place that only you visited. This seemed to be a place I visited quite often. Don't get me wrong, I was a "social butterfly". A lot of people that knew me during my days of drugs would probably describe me, if you was to ask them, as a funny, outgoing person that would help anyone out if I could. The ' Shevon' they never saw was the one that was lost in the dark. The me that felt alone and lost. I'm still that person that is funny, outgoing, and willing to help ANYONE today, except one thing has changed, I am no longer living in the days of drug use. I decided to give up my addiction and to allow Jesus Christ to renew my life. To save me !! I give all praises to Him.

Recovery is something that has no ending destination. It's an everyday battle. Do you have to battle it alone? Absolutely not! The Lord has already went ahead and defeated this battle for you, it's up to you to follow Him. To put your trust in Him. Deuteronomy 36:1 (NIV) states, " Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor for sake you." I know that it's not easy putting complete trust in things these days but I promise you this... Jesus Christ is the One you can give it all to.
