Partners in Hope

The desire to express our love for God and our neighbour should be the motivation behind what we do each day and how we work through our agenda.

God accepts us as we are and invites us to rely on His strength to help us live life successfully.

When we choose to apply the simple principle, “I can’t. God can. I think I’ll let Him” we’ll experience a new and satisfying life – life with God in recovery.

So what isthe spiritual awakening we speak about in Step Twelve?  We come to know deeply and personally that God loves us.  God has always loved us.  God has a  beautiful life plan for us and He is willing to show us that plan one step, one day at a time. We need God at work in us today to give us a spiritual awakening so we can begin to know the unfailing love of our Heavenly Father for us.  When we truly awaken to this reality everything changes.

I hope we bring our needs, our hopes, our frustrations, our “anything” to God. But we’ll do well when we prioritize praying for God’s will for us and the power to carry it out. What is that?  We have to ask God to show it to us.

We know that to be physically well we have to eat well, drink water, exercise, get proper rest, and practice good hygiene every day. What we put into practice last week or last year won’t be enough to keep us strong and safe today. Same principle is true for our spiritual growth.  God wants us to be those who grow every day.
