ALWAYS A BLESSING

“Avoid then, the deliberate manufacture of misery, but if trouble comes, cheerfully capitalize it as an opportunity to demonstrate His omnipotence.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 133

“For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” 2 Corinthians 4:17

For what it's worth: Alcoholism manufactured enough misery. It needed no help from me, but I had to contribute anyway. God must have noticed that I was burying myself, because He granted me sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous. After many sober years and a lot of patience on God's part, I see my problems right size and attempt to find opportunity in them. I know my heaviest burdens are never as severe as they feel at the time, and they always produce spiritual growth. Getting through them without drinking certainly demonstrates God's grace at work in my life. And there is always a blessing.

God bless you.
