It is with great despair that I share the latest news of my niece Kim, and her struggles while adjusting to her life of sobriety from prescription drugs. Actually, a red flag went up a couple of weeks ago, when I discovered that she had told me a "little white lie".
John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
A lie, is a lie, is a lie, no shades of black, white or gray are acceptable; when we open the portals of our heart to lies and denial, once again we are giving the sin in us, dominion over our soul.
Kim lost her job at the Hope Center, without going into details, she obviously made some extremely poor choices. Did her poor choices and the lack of desire to face the consequences honestly, begin her downward spirals of lies. If the truth will set you free, then lies will devour and smother your hope.
As I approach the fifth anniversary of my sobriety on February 20, I thank God that after attending only 2 AA meetings, I heard the words that penetrated the ignorance of my addiction. You have to get really honest with yourself; hum, the truth will set you free! I got it!!
Romans 16:20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
Once again Kim`s entire family is drawn into the drama of her lies; questioning her thinking and her sobriety. I humbly thank God, that I can handle this drama; with God`s promises, the only assistance I can offer is to pray fervently. To me, this is validation of my faith and the advancement of my true intimate relationship with God.
Hebrew 10-38 But my righteous one, will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.
I pray that God will place someone or something in Kim`s life, that will once again, allow her to live in truth. I pray that God will soon be pleased with Kim. I pray that she will hear the same words of wisdom that saved my life from the grip of addiction and lies. You have to get REALLY HONEST with yourself! Amen.
