Some addictions are absolutely deadly. Some will steal your reputation and your future. Some addictions have no apparent effect on you but they absolutely and utterly destroy everyone who knows you.

But not every addiction is harmful. Apparently I’m addicted to breathing. At least once a day I’m addicted to sleep. Take either one of those away and I will suffer withdrawal symptoms.

There is an addiction that I have found that has no ill effects whatsoever. It cannot be taken away therefore there is no withdrawal symptom.

I am addicted to the gospel. I think about it all day long and into the night.  In the morning I look at my dreams to see where the gospel has been talking to me. I love to write on this blog about the Lord I am learning  to love.

The most beautiful thing about this addiction is that its source is not from this world so no one can interfere. And though it may not be legal in some places in this world it is fully acceptable before the Most High God. What a wonderful thing to realize it’s okay to be addicted to a certain joy.

Thank you Lord Jesus!
