THE POWER OF LOVE

“He is the Father, and we are His children.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 62:3

“His love endures forever.” Psalm 136:2

For what it’s worth: Growing up in a war zone teaches well about survival, but little about love. I learned that from a bunch of drunks. I had to get sober first in Alcoholics Anonymous. There I watched and learned as folks reached out to me and accepted me just as the mess I was. I saw how they gave of themselves to serve others and sacrificed for another suffering alcoholic. It was in AA that I found a loving Higher Power, Who I now call my Heavenly Father. In AA I have come to believe that I am a child of God and He loves me unconditionally. That is the greatest gift I have ever been given. It changed my attitude, my thinking, my behavior, my entire being, and my whole life.

God bless you!
