Dear gambler,

I hope you realize you messed up your life pretty bad. You're going to be broke until you die. Your kids will be broke and so will the next 2 generations of your family will be in debt too.

But guess what? God had a plan for you, and all this madness and suicidal thoughts, were a part of His plan. No, He doesn't want you to suffer and NO He's not enjoying this.

He's using this as a tool for you to go back to Him. You left Him and now He's using all this sin and pain for you to REALIZE YOU NEED HIM.

Pray and confess, call out to Him and realize you cannot do it ALONE. It is only by Him and His Son and the Holy Spirit that you can be saved.

Sincerely,

Former gambler of 10+ years (Now GF for 2 years)

He uses His own way to get our attention. One danger is we often think how God should be, or what He should do for us. His ways are not our ways, and we must accept that, because He is God.

Encouraged you found Him. You might think it wasted time and took too long, but that's why He gave you this day. Live this day as if it were your last.

Coram Deo

God Bless you for reaching out and ministering to those who have hears to hear what you are saying. I fell for the trap of the kingdom of darkness. I am so sick of this gambling madness. It is killing me inside and I know that Jesus came to set us FREE!!! I am onto a new life and well May the Lord open up new doors for those who call upon his name :)

God bless IamnewinChrist. You know, your name really says it all. You are a new being now, and you hate the ways of your old self. However, that old self will try and creep back in your life. Be sure to use His power to overcome it. I'm glad you get it. Take care, and STAND FIRM.
