Colossians 2:9-10 NKJV

Colossians 2:9-10 NKJV

[9] For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; [10] and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

One of the powerful draws of addiction is the emptiness it fills. The God-shaped hole is filled by the false gods of drugs, alcohol, pornography, food, and so on. We are made incomplete by design. Addiction is powerful because it plays on the weaknesses of our minds.

I remember the dread of rehab. I was afraid of the void that would be left behind by walking away from my addictions. Coincidentally, rehab was my first REAL experience of desiring to worship God. Even in my brokenness, it was the first time I felt completely whole.
