DIG A LITTLE DEEPER...
Have you ever had an itch that needed scratching? Ohhh, that feels soooo good. Sometimes the scratching is more of a pleasant sensation than an itch relief. Some people, and animals, scratch, scratch, scratch until they tear the skin and get infected.
AFFLICTED WITH SELF GRATIFICATION
Spiritually, people do the same. They afflict themselves with self gratification, rather than getting Divine deliverance from their irritation. Scratching is a surface response to a deeper need.
TRUE HEALING
Only Jesus can relieve your deepest misery and satisfy your deepest longings.
Proverbs 14:12-13
(12) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
(13) Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
Romans 10:9-10
(9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
(10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Upward and Onward in Jesus,
Pastor David L. Gould
