Easter: Seeking Rebirth at Christian Drug Rehab Centers

On April 1, 2018, Jesus once again rose from the dead. He has returned once again from the land of the living after being crucified on the cross by Pontius Pilate. Jesus lived a life where he was treated horribly by us. We never realized he was God in human flesh. He was the son of our Lord, who created us and the world we live in. We were selfish and did not exemplify the best versions of ourselves we can be. Despite this, Jesus never wavered. He remained constantly focused on being the best version of himself and seeking to make positive change happen for all those struggling in life. He believed that, despite our potential to sin, there was also a chance to rise beyond our human nature to become something more.

According to the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids, about 23.5 million US citizens struggle with drug or alcohol addiction. This addiction could prevent you from becoming all you are meant to be. It may be incredibly troubling if you cannot rise past this difficulty in your life. You might need to consider how Christian drug rehab centers may be able to change your life for the better. You may need to look at the Bible to find sources of wisdom and inspiration that could prove beneficial to you as you make your way through your recovery to a new beginning.

“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast,” 1 Peter 5:10 stated. Peter is saying that despite any suffering we go through in our lives, God will always be there to take us back. We never escape the love of God since he is always there for us at all times. Once you reach the end of your journey with recovery and begin your life again, God will be there and ready to start you on a new path again. That is very obvious when you read what John has to say about God’s love for his own creations.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life,” John 3:16-17 said. “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” What John is saying here is that God loved the world so much that he gave his only son to save humanity. He is saying that God believes in his creations so much that he will seek to save them from sin and the temptations to sin. In that sense, there is an understanding of what causes man to be tempted.

Paul writes about this in 1 Corinthians 10:13-14. “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind,” 1 Corinthians 10:13-14 stated. “And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way so that you can endure it. Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.” What Paul is saying is that the temptation you may experience is the same kind as others experience. He states that God will not allow you to deal with more difficulties in life than you can handle as a person.

Paul sums up what God is looking for in his followers and how to move beyond one’s struggles. “Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope,” Romans 5:3-5 stated. “And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”

In the end, you may spend time at Christian drug rehab centers in order to find assistance for your addiction struggles. Yet, you can take this Easter season to turn your life into something completely different. You could become a whole different person if you take the chance to move beyond your addiction and find Jesus in your struggles, as Paul speaks about. Your perseverance and character that can come from that experience will not only serve you in your current struggles but make you stronger for the future of your life to come.
