LEAVING NO DOUBT

“We never thought of making honesty, tolerance, and true love of man and God the daily basis of living.” 12&12 p72

“May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God…” 2 Thessalonians 3:5

For what it's worth: When I was drinking, the thought of loving God never entered my mind. My mind, like my heart and soul, had to sober up and clean up before anything spiritual entered my being. That transformation could have been accomplished only by the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Then those same Steps performed another miracle. This shameful, unlovable drunk came to believe I was loved unconditionally by God. My life experiences leave no doubt about His love for me. I pray my daily life leaves no doubt about my love for Him.

God bless you!
