Trusting Jesus and doing what He says is the only key to successful recovery. No other key will open our way into eternal life with our Heavenly Father.
The key that opens the door to life is believing in Jesus. What are the signs that we are trusting God’s love and forgiveness rather than holding onto our own way?
Jesus sorts that out for us when He says: “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them. Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me. (John 14:23-24 NIV)
We do not have to do anything to earn God’s love and saving grace. No matter how hard we might work we could never do enough anyway. We begin do right things as we grow to trust that God is good and God is showing us a good way forward. We know for sure we’ve opened the door to God’s will in our life when we notice the desire to do the right thing in us. We more regularly make choices to do what God says works, even when it differs from what we previously would have done, or when it is inconvenient in the moment. 
You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life. (Deuteronomy 30:20 NLT)
Let’s unlock the door to the wonderful life God planned for us when He created us. Let’s trust His loving heart to guide each of us to a successful life.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I put my trust in You. I believe You are the way, the truth, and the life. I choose to follow You and do what You say. Amen
