An Ex-addict's Testimony

This is from a Fellowship Bible Study member: "My life was a mess. I ran away from God.  I lost all the 'things' I had acquired and I almost lost my toes to frostbite because I was living on the street. Today I'm full of joy about the blessing-salvation God has given me.  I'm free from the slavery of addiction's sin. I don't have to do that anymore.  I'm free to walk with the Lord.  I'm free to cherish the hope that my Savior promised."
