A GOOD ADDICTION

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.”

Proverbs 3:5-8 KJV

There are many people who are addicted to alcohol, drugs, sex and all other things that hurt Jesus and break His heart.  However, there is a good addiction.  It is an addiction that every person in the world should have and that addiction is to be dependent on Jesus.  He will give us all that we need.

Jesus will not only give us everything we need, He will also give us things to make us happy.  Jesus wants us to be happy.  “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).  What a loving Saviour we have.

If you have been looking for acceptance and happiness in the world and have become addicted to things that will only hurt you and make you more unhappy, give your heart and life to Jesus.  He will give you happiness and if you will stay in His presence you will also have the fulness of joy.

We read in the Bible.  “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Psalm 16:11).  I urge you to become addicted to Jesus and allow Him to fill your heart to overflowing with joy and happiness.  He loves you so much He died for you.
