WATCHING GOD WORK

“To some extent we have become God-conscious.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 85

“The Lord gives strength to his people.” Psalm 29:11

For what it’s worth: Alcoholism had me isolated from God and man. Fortunately, this void became unbearably agonizing and drove me to seek help. Alcoholics Anonymous immediately reversed this condition, placing me with caring people, sharing together their experience, strength and hope. At first, I was resistant and blind to it, but eventually I grew to see God was there with those people, granting them the strength to stay sober, grow spiritually, and be an example to me. Today, as I become God-conscious, when I open my eyes and soul to it, I can see my Heavenly Father working in His children He places in my life. His timing is infallible, and He can be real clever about it. It is important I do my best not to tell Him how to do it, just relax and enjoy the pleasure and privilege of being aware of His presence and love.

God bless you.
