Peccatoris

Have you ever been addicted?
I’m not talking about Doritos or a TV show
I mean, have you ever really been addicted?

Recently I sat in on a couple talks concerning addiction
One on Methadone and one on obesity
Did you know a people’s body and mind changes from addiction?

Isn’t sin addicting?  It’s so difficult to break out of
We develop patterns in our life
And we try to change, but we come back

I’m tempted to end this with a happy ending
Something like “you can do all things through Christ….”
But part of the dirty truth is that most don’t break out

Tonight I don’t want to end this on a happy note
I feel as though it would be an injustice
An injustice to those who are trapped

This is my second year being a therapist
I’ve started meeting people where life is really ugly and dark
We are all so broken

Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner

  1. Perfect word-choice for the ending. I came across this today when the Lord knew I needed it. Thank you for the reminder of who I am and who my Savior is.
