“Remember your Creator in the days of
your youth… Fear God and keep His commandments for this is the whole duty of
man.” Romans 12:1, 13
“I can’t help the way I am – I’m an
alcoholic!” Those were the words I heard as I struggled to help a woman out of
her automobile. I had just come upon the scene of an accident. Two young men
were lying unconscious on the road, having been thrown out of their little
truck by the impact of this woman’s car which had plowed into the back of their
pickup at high speed.” Can anybody help the way he or she is?
A growing amount of scientific
evidence traces a biological link between some of our emotional problems and
our parents. What we are coming to understand is that all people are not born
equal. Just as some inherit strong physical bodies, some inherit stronger wills
and personalities. Some of us inherit a disposition from our parents which
makes us more susceptible to some things than other people, but can we excuse
the alcoholic from wreaking havoc on the highway, or excuse the murderer who
says he is not responsible because he grew up in the slums of the inner-city
and never knew the love of a caring parent?
God says that certain things are
wrong so that we learn not only what makes for happiness and fulfillment in
life, but that we also understand that there is forgiveness for our wrong
choices, our willful acts of disobedience, our sins. With God’s help I can
change.
We may require a lot of help and
compassion from those who are close to us, but change is the door to hope and
life. Don’t ever – even for a moment – let yourself think, “I can’t help the
way I am” because you can, with God’s help and the help of those who surround
you.
God Bless Us..
