HE LEADS, I FOLLOW

“…We ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 86

“He will give you another Counselor who will never leave you.” John 14:16

For what it's worth: Alcoholism dumped me at the doors of Alcoholics Anonymous with an empty heart, a dark soul, alone, confused, indecisive, and wandering about without direction, purpose or meaning. I was just right for the people of Alcoholics Anonymous. They knew exactly what to do. They directed me to a Counselor. He and I have worked together for many sober years now, and I find my Guide is more like a Good Shepherd. He leads, I follow. When I am not sure which way to go, He shows me. He is always with me, even in storms when the path is dark. And He knows I tend to go astray more than most of His flock, so he keeps a close eye on me. When I go off on my own, He comes after me, carrying me in his arms, near his heart, back to the right path.

God bless you!
