Just emailed someone that belongs to a loss group on yahoo groups. She helped me through my tough times when I was losing my fiancee this past January. She has finally decided to break it off with her guy because he was basically the exact same guy I used to be. She was really beating herself up, saying things like she is damaged for life, and has no self esteem.
This brings me back to the first step again. No matter what life has thrown at us, we don't have to go it alone. Jesus is always ready to carry us through the tough times. He has a plan for each and every one of us and we just have to trust in Him. He won't let us down. If we stay faithful and completely surrender our lives to Him, great things await us.
For me surrender means doing His will in my life. I can't abuse substances, I can't be selfish, I can't be judgemental, and so on. The list of things I CAN do are what really matters. I can finally have a loving relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am free to love, I am free from drugs and alcohol, I am free to be a father to my son and future stepson, I am free to be a loving and caring husband, and much much more.
Please always remember, that no matter what this life throws at us, Jesus will always be there for us. This life will be over in the blink of an eye, so don't despair. We've got an eternity in Heaven ahead of us with our Father. I know it's tough to always think like that, but if you make the effort and always put God first, it will make an eternity of difference...literally.
God Bless
