RESCUED IN HIS ARMS “He had stepped from bridge to shore.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 56:4 "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.” Luke 15:20 For what it’s worth: A sinking feeling lived in me for years, and I could not see shore or any sign of rescue. As it turned out, I was looking in the wrong direction, depending upon myself. Once I looked to Alcoholics Anonymous, a miraculous rescue occurred, but I was too spiritually sick to recognize it. Later in sobriety I saw clearly that a Power greater than myself was ashore waiting for me, even yelling to me, trying to get my attention. And, as soon as I stepped ashore in AA, my God rushed to me and threw His loving arms around me, and held me close to His heart. Even sober in AA, I have had that sinking feeling return. When it has, as soon as I jump up into my Heavenly Father’s arms, He kisses me and I am safe. It works every time. God bless you! Joe W.
