M. Beasley checks into rehab

Even though 20 year old Michael Beasley of the Miami Heat seems to be on top of the world, he has checked into a rehab for depression and substance abuse. The spirit of depression is real. I am amazed at the amount of people that feel like life is not worth living.

- "Y do I feel like the whole world is against me!!!!!!! Back on my FTW!!!!! I can't win for losin!!!!!!!!!!"

- "Feelin like it's not worth livin!!!!!!! I'm done"-

"not feelin this at all!!!!!"

These are the last words Beasley penned on his twitter account before it was closed. II Timothy 1:7 states God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Psalm 139:14 says I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Verse 17 says how precious are your thoughts toward me O God! How great is the sum of them! God made everyone and he made them with a purpose. So without God you will feel incomplete and if you are not fulfilling his purpose you will feel a measure of emptiness because you are not carrying out what you were created for.

Finding Christ is the first step, including believing on him, praying and reading the Bible. There you will find how much God loves you and all the wonderful things he has done and will do for you.

The second step is surrounding yourself with positive people. The enemy likes to get people alone and flood their mind with bad thoughts. Get around people that exude joy and that lift you up.

Finally if you ever feel down you have to talk, you must open up. The enemy loves to use the line: no one cares what you are going through, everyone else has their own problems to worry about. That is deception. Call a friend, a relative, call your parents, and let them know what is going on. Let's pray for M. Beasley a young brother with a lot of promise who has a whole life ahead of him.

Anyone reading who may be struggling you have a whole life full of blessings and promise awaiting you as well. Read Psalm 34, pick up the phone and call a friend. Pay a visit to your local church and ask someone to pray with you. Don't let the enemy cut off your future and block you from reaching your destiny. No matter how you got here you are important and your life is precious. Hang in there.
