Art Journal Scriptures

As a leader of my church's "C.R." group (Chemical Recovery), I am constantly working on keeping my "temple of God" clean inside and out.  After all, if I'm going to praise and serve God and share my faith, I shouldn't do anything that will quench the "Holy Spirit" in me or destroy the outside and inside of me.  That would end my ministries.  This group has members working on different things.  All addictions destroy us in one way or another whether it's alcohol, illegal drugs, abusing legal drugs, smoking, or compulsive overeating.  The last one is the one that I'm now struggling with.  Regardless of the addiction, I am turning to something besides God when I overeat.  God should always be my first "go-to" for help and comfort.  Total Recovery is about growing up in our faith and not letting destructive addictions come between us and our God.

This verse reminds me that I am a child of God and I think the verse tells us to be pure, trusting, joyful and love God like a child.
