WEAKNESS AND STRENGTH

“Without help it is too much for us. But there is One who has all power-that One is God. May you find Him now!” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 59
“Jesus replied, ‘What is impossible with men is possible with God.’" Luke 18:27

For what it’s worth: Drinking, I was superman. In the evening I would write out my plans to save the world. In the morning I could not even read them. When I tried to act adequate, I became more inadequate. When I relied on other people, places and things to satisfy my needs, I became more dependant. Only after alcohol beat me to my knees was I capable of going to God for strength. Since then, I find the more I acknowledge my own inadequacy, the more support God offers me. He was there all along, but pride blocked me from His grace. And it still can. Daily, I must admit my weaknesses to my Heavenly Father and beg for humility and the strength to carry out His will.

God bless you.
