Faith & Roses

Thank you Higher Power. I have experienced grace: blessings that were given to me that I did not deserve. And I have experienced mercy: consequences withheld that were absolutely what I “bought” through my actions and inactions.

I have never before felt this true a desire to choose your will over mine. I have never before had this much faith and true belief that your way is so much better than my way. I have never before been so willing to surrender my will and my life to your “care.” Thank you for your perfect love that allows … and invites me to experience you as I experience you.

“This is what surrender is: a heartfelt belief in our own failability as human beings and an equally heartfelt decision to rely on a power greater than our own. Surrender, the stumbling block of our addiction, has become the cornerstone of our recovery.”
