Look to Jesus for help!

Isaiah61:1 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has
anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the
brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the
prison to those who are bound 3 To console those who mourn in Zion, To give
them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness...

There is a song, "Dear younger me", by Mercy Me, that talks about what you

would tell your younger self if you could. "Then you could be One step

ahead Of all the painful memories still running thru my head I wonder how

much different things would be". For many, what would we truly say or

change if we could. I look back at all the decisions that I have made, and

those decisions have made me who I am today. My first thoughts were, DON'T

take that first drink, stay away from drugs, especially meth, don't look at

porn. More importantly, look to Jesus for help, not relationships. God has

made "beauty from ashes" in my life. Through all the pain that I have

experienced, I know one thing for sure, Jesus loves me and I am alive

because of Him. And now, I am able to help so many others, all because of

the hell that God has helped me through.
