GOD’S ANONYMOUS WORK

 

 "Simple, but not easy; a price had to be paid."      Alcoholics Anonymous, page 14

 

 "Put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross, and follow me."      Mark 8:34

 

 For what it's worth:     

As the slave of alcoholism, I was not only blinded by the drug alcohol, I was self-focused. I could not see the harm I created for myself and others. I nearly died not knowing. Thank God, sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous opened my eyes to the tragedy of my drinking existence. My disease may be arrested, but the consequences continue; they are the price to be paid. Professional care and the therapy in the Twelve Steps are healing my wounds, but the bleeding may never stop. Some days the continuing repercussions of my alcoholism are heavy, and I struggle to keep following in the way of the Twelve Steps. God helps me with a promise that carrying this small cross pays a big, joyful reward. I trust Him, because every suffering I have ever experienced somehow turned out to be a blessing. The “somehow” is God’s anonymous work.
