Justin Bieber on Overcoming His Past: 'When the Odds are Against you, Keep Fighting. Be Kind, be Bold and Love by God's Perfect, Unfailing Love'

Will Maule : Oct 3, 2019  Faithwire.com

"... It's taken me years to bounce back from all of these terrible decisions, fix broken relationships, and change relationship habits ... Now I am navigating the best season of my life 'MARRIAGE'!! ... You learn patience, trust, commitment, kindness, humility and all of the things it looks like to be a good man..." -Justin Bieber

Bieber opened up about how a meteoric rise to fame as a child launched him into a downward spiral of partying and drug abuse, causing him to withdraw from those who cared about him. In the end, he says, it was only Jesus who could turn it all around.

"It's hard to get out of bed in the morning with the right attitude when you are overwhelmed with your life, your past, job, responsibilities, emotions, your family, your finances, relationships," Bieber wrote.

"As my talent progressed and I became ultra-successful, it happened within a strand of two years. My whole world flipped on its head. I went from a 13-year-old boy from a small town to being praised left and right by the world with millions saying (how) much they loved me and how great I was."

With staggering wealth but no real life skills, Bieber found himself lost and confused.

"Everyone did everything for me, so I never even learned the fundamentals of responsibility," he explained. "By this point, I was 18 with no skills in the real world, with millions of dollars and access to whatever I wanted."

"This is a very scary concept for anyone," the popstar continued. "By 20, I made every bad decision you could have thought of and went from one of the most loved and adored people in the world to the most ridiculed, judged, and hated person in the world."

Unable to cope with the relentless ups and downs of tour life, Bieber said he started "doing pretty heavy drugs at 19."

"I became resentful, disrespectful to women, and angry," he said, noting that he was becoming increasingly distant from those who loved him.

Incredibly, however, Bieber found that God did not give up on him. Instead, the Lord blessed him with wonderful people, including his wife, Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin).

"Luckily, God blessed me with extraordinary people who love me for me," he said. "Now I am navigating the best season of my life 'MARRIAGE' !! Which is an amazing, crazy, new responsibility," he shared. "You learn patience, trust, commitment, kindness, humility, and all of the things it looks like to be a good man."
