Doorway Out Of Darkness

What a refreshing feeling it is to be free from the guilt of our addiction and dependencies.  Before we came into recovery we could hardly look up because we were afraid to meet the gaze of someone who cared for us.  At other times, we were arrogant and defiant against anyone who brought attention to our dysfunction.  To us it is a mystery how we were ever brought to the place of asking God for help. 

As we sunk deeper into our chaotic lifestyle perhaps someone noticed and was praying for us and asking God to draw us to Himself.  In His amazing grace God brought us out of the darkness of our hopelessness into the light of His glorious presence.  Now in recovery we can give thanks to God for His enduring love for us.  

When God tenderly brought us up from the pit that we had dug for ourselves, doors that were previously closed, opened up to us and we were able to let go of those events and words that caused us pain and despair.  Through repentance of our sin, the doors to healing and restoration and new life were unlocked.  The Lord is ever with us, so we need never be afraid of what lies ahead. 

This is the message from the one who is holy and true …What he opens, no one can close; and what he closes, no one can open: “I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me.”  (Revelation 3:7-8 NLT)

Prayer: Heavenly Father,  Thank You for Your enduring love for me.  Truly Your love is love at its best.  Thank You for giving me the strength to walk out of the darkness of my soul and through the doors You opened for me to receive healing and restoration. Amen.
