Two Paths in life we can take

                                   

                           There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.
                                                                 Proverbs 14:12


 TWO PATHS WE CAN TAKE IN THIS LIFE:


When we start off in life we can choose one of two paths. The path of destruction or the path of righteousness. When we were kid many of us were not raised by parents who always made the right choices in life. Consequently, we learn destructive patterns of survival.

Some of us turn to drugs and alcohol all the while thinking that this was the cooler side to be on. Alcohol and anger became our constant companions. Some of us try other recreational drugs like Marijuana before turning to other hard core drugs like heroine,Methamphetamine's and LSD all the while thinking this is the cooler path to be on. Some are arrested for drug related crimes and still some serve time for far more serious crimes. Life down this destructive path leads to death(1 John 5:17)


The other path is the path of righteousness or choosing to do what is good. Again, having a healthy family infrastructure helps us to be on this path. Jesus Christ made it possible for all us to be on this path because of what He did on the cross. He was tortured by Roman soldiers, sentenced to death for no punishable offence, stripped of his clothing and hung from the cross in humiliation, bled and died before coming back from heaven in a mighty crescendo exclaiming "I have made a way for you"

If you are struggling with drug or alcohol addiction that is making it hard for you to make the right choices in life. If your alcohol problems are causing you to make erratic decisions or have anger addiction problems there is hope . I urge you to contact Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge and talk to one of their program intake people about being in their program. As a professional counselor I know that this is the best program of all treatment programs. It has the highest long term success rate. I recommend the inpatient program because of it's effectiveness.
You do not have to be on the destructive path, nor do you have to watch your life careen out of control toward death. There is a better way and God desires you to be on that better path.
