THE TREASURES OF TRUSTING

"You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised." Hebrews 10:36

"We trust infinite God rather than our finite selves." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 68

For what it's worth: Alcoholism annihilated my trust in a loving Supreme Being. After years of despair, cursing God for my woeful, alcoholic existence, I found Alcoholics Anonymous and learned I would need to trust God to stay sober and survive. The wise people there knew I could not do so without asking God to teach me to trust His love. However, I had to insanely and needlessly suffer through a reign of resistance before the agony of an empty soul forced me to beg God's help. Looking back, I see He had already started, carrying me uphill through the horror of my disease and guiding me to Alcoholics Anonymous. Since then, my Heavenly Father has kept me sober through all of life's struggles, and, when severe situations breed skepticism, He reminds me of all the treasures I have found by trusting Him.

God bless you.
