Love the Lord with all your heart this is a great place to start if you love Him the most of all He picks you up each time you fall He lifts you up and honors you and shows you things that you could do to live a happy, abundant life not giving in to stress and strife if you chase after things like drugs or living life with other thugs if alcohol is more your speed trying to fill an endless need He pursues your heart for Him releasing you from all this sin the empty holes you try to fill following after the devil's will will only grow more empty still for they are all designed to **** architected for your demise but so enticing to disguise that they bring you more pain than not starting small and spreading rot your brain and body start to give sometimes even your will to live you don't know why you're upset you haven't reached the bottom yet chasing after girls and boys treating people like your toys but if you love the Lord your God this might seem a little odd but you find happy deep within when you're forgiven for your sin you don't need a thing to chase it just shines out of your face and all the things you wanted bad all the things that made you sad they don't draw you anymore they seem different than before but good things that you really wanted things in the back that always haunted they will come straight after you you won't even have to force them to! So stop torturing yourself with stuff never thinking it's enough stop dulling pain and fear with "fun" your life hasn't even yet begun God loves you no matter what this feeling might be in your gut but do you love the Lord right back? this is where we get off track If you love Him, trust is key He has better plans than you and me
