ABCs of Recovery

[MajestyJo]

F is for Forgiveness. We need to forgive ourselves. I never even thought of it until a counselor asked me at 6 years sober, "Why haven't you forgiven yourself?" I had never thought to ask. We are worthy of forgiveness. Our God is loving and willing to Forgive us any transgression we may have done inn our past, real or imagined. He is loving and caring and doesn't measure us by the # of 'sins' we have piled up. I took at it as being needy and looking outside of myself for things to make me feel better, not knowing and remembering that all I had to do was go to the God of my understanding. If you get to a stage in your life, you have a misunderstanding of God or you don't understand Him at all, it is okay. Surrender your day over to Him and you will see how He works in your life. There are times we have to readjust our thoughts, and like me, go on a spiritual quest and building a working relationship with your God to see who He is to you. Make Him personal, not a supreme being who has a blanket denominator for all. It says we are to become as little children, then we are ready to learn.
