April 12, 2022 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Tuesday, April 12, 2022

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

If you’re really working the Third Step, your life is no longer any of your business. — Anonymous

Turning our will and our life over to the care of God, as we understand God, is the single most difficult thing we would ever be asked to do — if we were asked to do it. But we are not. We are asked only to make the decision. But do we even want to turn our will and life over? Maybe not. After all, we are ultimately responsible for whatever we do, aren’t we? What if we turned it over and promptly lost our job, or our savings, or our spouse?

Pretty drastic stuff.

But wait a minute. When we make the decision, a seed is planted: What if something entirely different, entirely unexpected and delightful were to happen?

Today I will continue to make the decision to turn my life and will over to God, and then see what happens.
