Today at church I was thumbing through the bulletin and sadly read that a friend's daughter lost her life long battle with a drug addiction. Though the autopsy is inconclusive at this time it is assumed to be a heroine overdose that took this young life. As I sat there thinking back I realized two very sad truths. the first was that there was never a time that I could remember this lady without this demon in her life. Secondly I cant remember anything else about her. I imminently wanted to cry. What A sad life. What a horrible addiction. My heart goes out to her mother. What a nightmare to watch her daughter go through years of this addiction knowing where the battle is fought a mothers love and support is not enough.
It makes me wonder how the addiction started. Was it a friend who wanted her to try just once? In a world saturated with temptations of evil I pray God protect those near and dear to my heart from just demons.
I pray he keeps us some allowing or blindly and stupidly inviting something this dangerous into our lives.
I stand over my sleeping baby and pray that such things are disgusting to her and never beautiful or mysterious.
I praise God for the people in my life who have been saved from a life struggling with addiction.
I pray Gods comfort for the family's of those who lost the battle and are now free of that pain
