Your Question:
Can I still be a good person even when I'm struggling with addiction?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen firsthand the devastating effects of addiction on individuals and families. But I've also seen the power of God's love and forgiveness to overcome even the strongest of addictions. It's not about being perfect, but about being willing to seek help and surrender to God's will. When we're struggling with addiction, it's easy to feel like we're alone, but the truth is that we're not. We're all struggling with our own desires and weaknesses, and it's okay to admit that. As I reflect on my own life, I realize that I'm not immune to the temptation of addiction. We all have our own struggles, whether it's with anger, fear, or pain. But when we're willing to be honest about our weaknesses and seek help, that's when we can start to break free from the chains of addiction. It's not about being strong on our own, but about being weak and vulnerable before God. And it's in that place of vulnerability that we can find true freedom and healing. As a Christian, I believe that addiction is not just a disease, but a spiritual issue that requires a spiritual solution. It's not just about treating the symptoms, but about addressing the root causes of our addiction. And that requires a deep and abiding relationship with God. When we know God as our loving Father, our hearts are transformed, and we're no longer enslaved by our addictions. We're free to live a life of purpose and meaning, and to help others who are struggling with addiction.
