While deep in our addiction or sin, alot of us never know where our next meal will come from. We reach out to those we love only to brutalize what little they have. Where in words or food, when we do our part to help others it is up to them to help themselves. Do not be shy; tell your stories of God's greatness, you never know who's heart may be ready to respond. Give someone a hand up, not a hand out.

The God book refers to people as sheep- easily distracted and influenced with following the crowd. So the big question for us is who are we following? Each other? Or the voice of wisdom to do the right thing? Our challenge today is not to make the mistake like the sheep who blindly follow each other off the cliff. Be a positive influence with yourself so others may want to follow. Take a chance and listen to the small still voice of wisdom. God Loves You.

"Out of the depths" of our addiction, we cry out to God in terrible guilt of things that are done and undone in the past. Unlike humans, God keeps no record of how bad we have been in the past. But, what happens if we slide back to the past? What if the guilt lingers? That is when we as humans need to find hope in God. We are not hopeless cases. We can look and find trust in God, just know we are forgiven and no record is kept of our failures. This goes alot deeper when seek him.

Last night before my walk, I reflected on the time when I stopped dope walking. I Never thought I would be able to walk right. Sometimes in the midst of our trials we need to think about someone else to re-adjust our thinking along with the reminder of the relationship we have with God. That is the relationship we need most when the going gets toughest. We may not always be equipped to handle all the problems we face but God is. Eventually, we realize that walking with God does not depend on our legs, it depends on our hearts. We can walk through the darkest trials when we walk with God in the light.

As we get older, we start to lose the battle against time. We start to see life in a skewed and distorted way. In life, pain functions like cracked lenses, creates within us a conflict between what we experience and what we believe. Pain can give us a badly distorted view on life and on God. In those times we need our God to provide us with new lenses to help us see clearly again. Refocus your eyes on God today, keep still and let life happen.

It's a full-time job trying to get people to change. Oh what a perfect world it would be if only other people would do what we want!! (What a crock, like that's going to happen). Change the world but begin with yourself, it's not what most people want to hear! It can be a wake-up call that the problem in a struggling addictive relationship maybe Me. (Damn imagine that). It's a lesson some of us have to learn over and over. We can't change others, but through God's help, we can change our own behavior. When God works a change in us, he can change others through us.

There will be days that you may read something you don't like, but its ok cause it works for me. Feel free to let me know. Life is not about us anymore. We are not spiritually mature the day we are saved, or walk into the rooms of recovery no more than a school kid is ready for pro-sports. We grow in faith as we allow God to empower us thru the spirit. Through hardships and lessons learned, it becomes rewarding!! God's work in us isn't over when we receive him, it's just the begining.
