Good morning: mental health is so prevalent in this world. The devil creeps in and steals your peace, your mission for God, your ability to focus and you lose your strength to even live. It's debilitating and consumes your every thought to where you cannot concentrate. You try to fight it daily until you are self medicating in some way and an addiction comes to light and consumes you even more. There feels like no hope of overcoming both the mental illness and the addiction you are in because the addiction becomes a symptom of your bigger problem which is mental health. We feel no hope and taking our own life or praying for God to just take us home to heaven seems to be the only answer. Today I encourage you to not take lightly your mental health, reach out get help from others to motivate and encourage you to try something new, both from professionals and loved ones. You are first and foremost loved by God. Put him first in everything you do. I know that can seem like a big task just give your best every day to ask God to help you through your struggles, the more you do this the easier it becomes. God wants what's best for you. We all have a purpose. I encourage you to live your purpose knowing that you are worth feeling true happiness and joy. Smile because you really mean it and you're not wearing a mask. God tells us not to focus on the past but stay focused one day at a time. As he told lot and his wife when they left S***m she looked back and became a pillar of salt. Genesis 19:26. We stay focused on the past which keeps us from fully moving forward. Isaiah 43: 18-19. Remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold I will do a new thing. Man does God want to use you for his glory. He wants you to come out of the darkness that kept you so bound and use you to tell others of his love, grace and mercy. Don't let mental health and addiction keep you bound and chained and speechless. Allow God's light to shine through you today. Get out of yourself and share the good news. Don't let the devil leave you voiceless. Your testimony is the most powerful thing you have. USE IT!!! Jesus is the way the truth and the light. John 14:6. Have a blessed day if no one has told you today I love you.
