Sometimes the demands on humans seem like it's too much to bear... When we feel overwhelmed we look for outlets to ease the pain. Alcohol... Drugs... Cigaretts... Sex... Chocolate... Whatever floats your boat... These outlets are nothing more than a bandaid on a wound. They do not heal. They can numb us towards reality to make it "easier" to go on. If I may, I would like to encourage us to not give up and not give in to the pressures of this world. Yes, it gets hard! That does not mean we have to force ourselves to do something unhealthy to get through... Jesus promises to help us out.
Scripture of the day!
In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. (1 Peter 5:10 NLT)
