I’m selfish and greedy

Self-centered and cruel

And yet I’m always invited

In anybody’s life

For reasons unknown to me

 

I’ve never been an intruder

Neither have I insisted

I can’t even move from my place

I’m powerless

But man gave me power by picking me up

 

Once man moved me from my place

I filled them up with temporary gratification

And when the effect is gone

They invite me again and again and again

And want me more and more and more

 

What I enjoyed the most

When I’m invited

Is when my host start suffering

By losing jobs, family, friends

And feel the pains created by me

 

My host made me feel great

 I can make him sick.

Destroy his body, his thinking and his spirit.

I can make him destroy everything around him,

and yet he will continually look for me.

 

I’m the invited guest

not unknown to you.

Once you invite me

I will give no regards to anything.

My nature is DESTRUCTION, my name is ADDICTION

 

The only way the host cannot invite me

Is when the host invite another guest

His name is God – so powerful that will melt my being

With the sound of His name

My existence is brought to nothingness

 

 

 

Inspiration from a group sharing on the power of the  spirit of God over addiction.
