Cursed No Longer

 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. ~ Galatians 3:13-14

“I had been preached to, analyzed, cursed, and counseled, but no one had ever said, ‘I identify with what’s going on with you. It happened to me and this is what I did about it.’” ~ Story “He Only Lived to Drink” Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition . A.A. World Services, Inc.

Do the ends always
justify the means?
Does a blessing ever come
from being cursed?
Is the world cursed
through the law?
Or was it before Christ?
Paul thought so,
believed the curse was lifted
through Jesus and
fulfilled promises.
Are we cursed by addiction
until Recovery comes
from the despair
of ruined lives?

God, thank you for
taking away the pain,
for replacing it with
the knowledge and comfort
of your love, for teaching us to love
ourselves and those around us!
