The Miracle Cure





        Divine  Love  is  the  miracle  cure  for  all  sorts  of  human

        ailments,  particularly  those  that  involve  behavioral  and
        mental issues. !e remedy has been placed within us all –

        God’s blessing to everyone. Yet, this healing prescription is

        inaccessible  to  all  who  insist  on  living  in  the  fog  of

        materialism and utter sel"shness so prevalent today. Given

        their  lust  for  pleasure  and  the  greed  that  consumes them,
        it  is  easy  to  understand  why  addicts  "nd  it  hard  to

        conceptualize  Divine  Love  as  a  cure  for  substance  use

        disorder. Yet, you who are addicted are the very ones most
        in need of this miracle cure.




                                                              i
        Divine Love quenches gluttony with spiritual fulf llment.  It
        obliterates  greed  by  making  the  pleasure  of advancing

        the  common  good  greater  than  pleasing  self.  It  cancels
        lust  by  harnessing  the  passion  for  pleasure  and  uses  that

        energy to advance God’s Perfect Plan – that’s Divine Love.

        Against this backdrop, when Jesus spoke of Love for God as
        “the  "rst  and  greatest  commandment,”  even  his  followers

        mistook his advice as a religious statute. But, it was the most

        blessed gi# ever bestowed upon humankind.
