Season 16 Episode 37
Don’t Give Up On Yourself
“As he entered a village, ten with a skin disease approached him. Keeping their distance, they called out, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" -Luke 17:13-14
Robert was in his early thirties. He’d been struggling with a crack addiction for some time. While sitting in my living room he poured out his heart.
He had tried to stop. In a crack house he had even dropped on his knees and prayed to God to take this addiction away. He then lit up and smoked anyway.
He wondered aloud if he was simply broken beyond repair. He thought that maybe there was no help for him and he should just give up.
The ten people Jesus encountered on his way to Jerusalem were trapped on a hopeless situation that kept them marginalized. Nothing they had done had worked. But they never gave up hope.
They reached out to Jesus for help. And then followed the plan as Jesus instructed. Eventually Robert reached out for professional help. Eventually Robert worked the program he had been given.
Eventually, their faith made them whole. They just had to not give up on themselves before it did. Don’t give up on yourself.
