You ever see or hear those commercials talking about a new drug that will help with this or that illness? Then they list all the possible side effects. Finally they say..."if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking the medicine and see your doctor immediately".
Tragically, so many people these days self-medicate on things of the world to cure them of their emotional or physical distress. Alcohol, drugs, smoking, prescription drugs, uncontrolled spending, living a carefree life, extreme exercising and dieting. All of these things have negative side effects like poor health, bankruptcy, missed days at work or school, isolation from friends and family, jail....even death. It's so easy to to get caught up in these things...many lives have been ruined through addictions.
Today's passage clearly states where we can get help for our daily struggles, pains and insecurities... through Jesus Christ. A personal relationship with him is the key to helping you work through the daily challenges of life and the painful experiences that want to send you into depression and self medicate in worldly toxins. By surrendering everything to Him, you open the door to His Holy Spirit who can sustain you no matter what you are going through in life.
How about it? Have you been serf-medicating, hoping to give you some relief...but the side effects are more damaging than the medicine of choice? STOP taking the medicine and see Jesus immediately! He can and will help you. His love and presence in your life has no negative side effects and last for all eternity....it even helps others around you when you are fully medicated on His Spirit! Won't you come to Him today for all your emotional and physical needs...He has the medicne that cures it all. Have a blessed day friend.
