JUST AN ADDICTION Once upon a time, i felt an emptiness in my soul... it was so deep, it was like a hunger that could not be filled even with the best delights of life. I used the most expensive bathing soups and lotions, but the gnawing emptiness still stirred my soul like an unquenchable fire. I became addicted to certain things... I had no appetite, but i was hungry and there was food. My food went bad for staying too long in the fridge. The pain of the hunger was so sharp and real, I cried in secret and smiled in public. I wanted no one to knw what I was going thro for fear of rejection. One day, the addiction was gone... It returned two weeks later. Those two weeks were the best... i felt alive. This continued intermittently for a while until one day, in desperation and defiance, i traced the source of this satisfaction. Guess who it was? The Holy Spirit. The weeks when i felt satisfaction followed the sundays when I visited a certain spirit filled church. During that time I had suspended my christianity.. lol. So i began to go there more often, before I knew it, my addictions changed. I was now addicted to God and the Holy Spirit, through Jesus Christ. The other addictions could not just stay anymore, they could not compete. Ever since i found my new addiction, I feel satisfied, fulfilled, sometimes, I dont even feel hungry for food. It is a continuous journey that only gets better as the days go by and as my knowledge of God increases. It doesnt matter what you are addicted to right now... addiction is a captivity, a thief of your freedom and joy. If you feel that emptiness in your life, and you are trying to satisfy it, you find yourself with insatiable addiction to anything(s). Go to God and cry to Him. Ask for forgiveness for your sins. Read psalm 139 and ask for the Holy Spirit to fill your life. You will discover the life you never knew. He will give you living water, and you will never thirst again for those destructive elements of addiction, but above all, stay focused in seeking Him. And in the name of Jesus, every yoke of addiction in your life are broken, and are free in Jesus name. Amen
