There was a man who was an addict. He battled with drug addiction for many years. There were many attempts to get sober and many failures. One day God spoke to him, "Faith is the substance." That was all the man heard. He heard this while he was in rehab the first time. Once he got out of rehab he went back to using drugs. Everyday he would ask God to speak to him and for many years he heard nothing. This caused more pressure on the man. One day he was so frustrated with God, he overdosed and passed out on the floor. His family found him an hour later and called emergency. The doctor told the family if they would have got there 10 minutes later, the man would have died. The family placed him in rehab. As the man layed in the the facility, he asked God, "why didn't you let me die?" God said, "The journey isn't over. Get up and bathe." The man was confused, but he ate. God said, "Today is the first day of your faith recovery, eat." The man ate. God said, " I waited until you were at your lowest to speak so you can hear me. Leave the yesterdays behind and be great. I fed you because you were weak, i bathed you because you weren't clean, i didn't allow you to die because i placed greatness on your life, you are meant to be king of kings and lord of lords. For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Today you will stand up and walk into your destiny." One-day-at-a-time you can rehab your faith. The bible says,"Create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me." So no matter what you have done or been through God will restore you to who you are and not who or where you were. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. you can't change the things that happened yesterday, and tomorrow is still an unknown. All you have is today that you can actually do anything about. One day at a time.
