GOD’S UNFATHOMABLE LOVE

"What is this power that A.A. possesses? …To me it is God." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 308

"God is awesome. He gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!" Psalm 68:35

For what it’s worth: Alcoholism, mixed with my character defects, brewed a mean, unlovable drunk. Blessedly, and despite my stubborn resistance, a tricky bunch of sober drunks in Alcoholics Anonymous bombarded me with loving care and convinced me I was adored by a Higher Power. Numerous experiences proved to me God knocked down the gates of hell and came in after me; He led me to a piece of heaven in Alcoholics Anonymous; and, He gave me sobriety and peace of mind. God restored much lost to alcoholism. He rescued me many times from life’s tragedies, even from the duress of death. He lifts me up to a level of consciousness of His presence I never believed possible. I have grown to realize the Power in my life is God’s unfathomable love. I am grateful I did not have to earn it, and I try to say thanks as best I can in my daily life. What I treasure most is my Heavenly Father loves me even when I do not love very well.

God bless you.
