Do You Have an Addiction?

When you hear someone say “they have an addiction” the first thing that comes to most individuals mind is Drugs,  Drinking and Smoking. We often don’t think about it but any uncontrollable habit like over eating and gambling can also be an addiction because it gives the individual so much pleasure to take part in it. They just cannot do without it.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have that same type of addiction for God? To love him so much that you cannot do without him. He wants to fellowship with us but we become distracted by the things of the world and only call on him when we want something.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

If you are a Christian and you believe your body is a temple, then how can you do anything to your body that is not healthy.

We are his ambassadors on earth and if we are not doing our best to take care of ourselves, he cannot use us to expand the kingdom.

I realize that it is tough and the troubles that we have in this world can be very depressing and make you feel like you don’t want to do anything but make every effort to press on. Try to erase negativity from your life by eating right, exercising, making sure you are getting enough sleep, putting on some feel good music, meditating, reading motivational and positive material and most importantly reading your bible and pray so that you keep the lines of communication open between you and God.
