To what am I addicted?To me, He might say:
Debi, you are addicted to your cocoon of quiet safety that you built to escape hurt. The day will come when I invite you back out into the world in a stronger way, risking more hurt and vulnerability. Will you trust Me?To another, He might say:
My child, you are addicted to your delivery of all things "right" when I care more about all things "love." The day will come when I invite you to love first and analyze later, if at all. It will be hard to turn off your analysis and only express love. Will you trust Me?And to yet another:
My child, you are addicted to seeing yourself as less than what I made you to be. I crafted you Myself and you are a wonder, indeed. The day will come when you have an opportunity to look at yourself through eyes that see what I was all about when you were on my drawing board, but it will be hard to discard your habit of beating yourself up. Will you trust Me?When we are far down addiction lane, perhaps unknowingly, yet as destructively as with any more recognizable addiction, we can make a comeback, one step at a time. God will gently chisel us out if we let Him.
If you feel a nudge to ask the question, know that behind it lies the path to freedom.
We can all escape Addiction Lane.
