Why Following God Now Saves You Decades in Therapy Later

Simply put, like a small child, God gives the insight we need so we don't spend countless years healing from stuff we could have avoided.

Two routes to the same destination. One goes through the scenic route of wreckage, addiction, broken relationships, trauma that requires years of therapy to untangle. The other takes the shortcut called obedience.

I need to experience it to understand it.

You don't need to touch the stove to believe fire burns.

Ignorance is not bliss. All the things God tells us not to do aren't restrictions. They're shortcuts around decades of unnecessary healing. Jesus Christ offers the express lane. You can take the scenic route through wreckage if you want. But why would you?

What shortcut is obedience offering that you're rejecting for the scenic route through pain?
