    Thank you so much for making this. It means so much to me. I have been listening to your videos for 5-6 years now and I just wanted to hear a familiar voice discuss the topic. My older brother died last Monday the 9th. He was 36. It was a heroin overdose. He struggled with his addiction for many years and it caused our family so much pain. Now it’s all over and yet a whole new pain has begun. Our parents gave us a wonderful childhood, sacrificed to send us to Christian schools, took us to church, did everything (and more) that could possibly done to help him. They strongly believed God would eventually deliver him from this and held fast to the proverb “train up your child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it.” Now we are left trying to come to terms with what has happened and why we suffered for so many years. My brother believed in God and tried hard to get better many times but always relapsed. I have a teenage nephew who is hurting so badly, along with parents and grandparents who are devastated. It has shaken everyone’s faith. I hope one day Christmas will feel like Christmas again but I can’t see that happening. Thank you for reading.

      A My sincere heartfelt condolences. My cousin’s son that I mentioned, my second cousin, he had just turned 37 when he passed. And my friend’s son was 29. His mother was planning a huge 30th bday party. It’s always that much more devastating when ppl leave before “their time.” I had an uncle who struggled with drugs and I believe he died of an overdose as well. Addiction is a very real disease of the soul. But he accepted Christ before he passed. In his journey to become clean, he had many ups and many downs. Sometimes he won against temptation, and other times no. My hope is in the supreme mercy of God who understands the weakness of the human condition and the struggle to be delivered from strong sins and strongholds. I believe my uncle has joined the Lord in eternity not for his works, but for the recognition of his need of Christ. And that is biblical. I pray for the peace that surpasses all understanding for you and your family as you work through your grief and loss. Blessings.

      Thank you so much for this message. I so needed to hear this. Amen...I believe that too and I find hope and peace in that. None of my close friends have any experience with addiction in their families so I had mostly avoided talking about the situation over the years. Now they have no idea what to say, which is completely understandable, but I don’t feel comfortable discussing it with them because I know it wouldn’t be helpful for me to do so with anyone who doesn’t share that belief and understanding. My brother had been seemingly doing well, reading his Bible regularly and feeling happy right before this happened, and I believe that maybe he was taken home before he found himself so separated from God that he couldn’t get back. I don’t expect to ever have all the answers in this life but will continue to pray for peace and maybe some understanding. Thank you.
