If you are looking for reasons to NOT believe in God, you will find them. If you are looking for reasons to believe in God, you will find them. The evidence is overwhelming. This morning I saw a rainbow over the ocean. It gave me hope.
My question is, “Why NOT believe in God? What do I have to lose—in fact, I have everything to gain.” Why would I not accept help.
My plan was not working the way I was going, so it seems logical to receive the help that is offered. Right? The gift of grace is freely given. How arrogant of me to reject that free gift?
Humbling myself is hard, but always being “right” is even harder. Haha.
There might be another way…
When I was at the bottom of my drinking, I was at the end of me. My way. My will was not working. Surrendering to God for help was the choice in front of me. I am glad I chose that route, because the help was immediate. My obsession with alcohol was lifted and I was free in a moment of time.
That was, and continues to be, a miracle every day. I thought I would not be able to live this life without alcohol. This was a lie I had told myself for so long that I believed it. When I rejected that lie and asked God to help me, He did. Magically.
Stubborn me. Simple but not easy. It required me to let go of old thinking, behaviors and beliefs—try a new path in partnership with others and with God.
I have been free of the need to drink or medicate myself in any way for 7,940 days in a row. Such a gift. Now, I want to tell others that it is that simple. Be bold and take that step. Trust.
Let others help.
Let God in to help.
Watch the change happen.
You will be amazed.
