I recently saw this post by author and podcaster Jess Connolly that struck me as very appropriate for all Christ followers but especially those who have loved ones in addiction.
"Last night I was singing this hymn and this thought came to me: I'm so glad He didn't just come for those of us who are full of faith, those bursting in song, and those who've had a winning year.
I'm so glad that our Everlasting Father made a way for those who feel abandoned, that the Prince of Peace comes toward the anxious and undone, and that our Wonderful Counselor is continually advocating for the broken and need.
I'm not knocking this hymn, I love a good hymn. But just in case this Christmas finds you feeling less than faith-fueled, desperate for joy, and far from triumphant, THIS IS THE GOOD NEWS:
Jesus came for you. He is with you and for you. And your capacity for celebration is not dependent on your circumstances, but rather on His holiness and goodness and righteousness—which never changes. Amen? Amen."
Love Them To Life exists to bring comfort, support, and education for those who have loved ones in addiction. They are fearful, grieving, and brokenhearted as they watch the destruction of someone they love beyond measure. Your gifts and regular support make it possible to continue this vital ministry. If God lays it on your heart, would you consider a gift to help Love Them To Life continue helping those who are desperately looking for answers?
Love Them To Life is a non-profit under the umbrella of Grace Fellowship International ministry. All donations are tax deductible and are used for ministry expenses only.
Thank you for joining us where God is working in bringing help and hope to those with loved ones in addiction.
