A DROP OF WILLINGNESS
“There had been a humble willingness to have
Him with me -- and He came.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 12
“Put God's kingdom first. Do what he wants you
to do. Then all you need will also be given to you.” Matthew 6:33
For what it's worth: What was needed for me was relief and escape from
reality. Alcohol provided that. It also provided a quick trip to insanity and
a lonely death. I denied that at the time, but the scars of reality were
bleeding, so I sought emergency care in Alcoholics Anonymous. Once sober long
enough, I accepted the treatment I needed was spiritual, and I knew only The
Great Physician could heal me, so I turned to Him. It's been like that ever
since. Every time I hurt, I run to my Heavenly Father. All I need is a drop of
willingness to do his will, and He handles everything else.
