MAGNIFICENCE

"The central fact of our lives today is the absolute certainty that our Creator has entered into our hearts and lives in a way which is indeed miraculous. He has commenced to accomplish those things for us which we could never do by ourselves." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 25

"The Lord will work out his plans for my life -- for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever." Psalm 138: 8

For what it's worth: A painting of my drinking days would be murky and dark, showing a blurred figure stumbling and falling as he was running to escape the sad reality of what life had become. The next painting, full of bright, warm colors, would clearly show a man climbing Twelve Steps up to a place in the painting shining so brilliantly no color can express it. That is a painting of my sober years in Alcoholics Anonymous painted by the Master Artist. When I “let go and let God”, His works are magnificent!

God bless you!
