Tricia McNair: Noble Life Ministries

There was a woman named JeanMarie who had eight daughters and 2 sons. One of the daughters died physically and another daughter died emotionally. The one daughter who died emotionally became a prostitute, her name was Ellen. Ellen rejected the love of her mother and sisters and brothers. She decided that her pain was great and she would feel no pain anymore. Therefore, she used drugs and alcohol to kill her emotions. She numbed her emotions to life. She was a dead woman walking. She felt as though her life was non-valuable to any one; not even to the children she produced through prostitution. She was not forced into prostitution like so many young women in foreign countries are today. She decided to become a prostitute to earn money and used the very thing she devalued the most, herself.

We are not pawns in the hand of some demon or anyone else. God has given us free will to choose. We make choices. Deciding to do nothing is still a choice. I will admit that sometimes people can make unwise choices and it may even cause them to lose their freedom. However, it was a choice. Every day you make a choice. You cannot help but make one. But if we make choices without being fully aware of the consequences of those choices we can find ourselves with less freedom and even in bondage or prison. It is not wise to spend every day of your life making chemical induced choices. You are looking at life through a foggy view and it is very difficult to see clearly what to do. Be aware of your decisions. Do think! Don't do things without thinking it through. Choose today to begin to live a full purposeful and clea...
