Every human being struggles with addiction of something, be it drugs, sex, money, pride...you name it. I feel like most of us are aware of that. But recently, Brandon Grant, a fella I have great respect for, presented me with the idea that God calls us to be addicted to his love. Taking that into mind, wouldn't that theoretically mean that God trumps all addiction? I truly believe that God has power over anything and everything we do, think, and say, because he created us. That being said, it would mean he also has power over addiction. It's just comforting to know that through the word of Jesus, God's son, we are called to be slaves to his love. What would our world look like if we were addicted to love instead of drugs, sex, money, greed, etc.? What would it look like if we let God take control of our pain and suffering caused by the world? I feel like if the body of Christ would let God take the reins for awhile, his love would explode! As a Christian, I am aware that I have a responsibility to spread the word and love people like Jesus. But as a Christian, I also struggle the same as a non-Christian. I wonder what it would look like if my biggest struggle everyday was that I had more love to give than people in my life to receive it? Would it push me to "sell" love to more and more people everyday in order to get my fix?
Personally, it's great to know that with the help of my creator I can get through anything. Everyone struggles to overcome obstacles, but I believe with the help of God, overcoming such obstacles becomes worth it. It definitely doesn't make it easier, but knowing that he hears my prayers and guides my heart helps me rest every night. God is the creator of our hearts! How beautiful is that?!
