July 12th – A Reaching Hand in the Darkness
“We strive for progress, not perfection.”
– Life with Hope, first edition, page 33
In my active years, I was always afraid; afraid of not being worthy of love, afraid of what others thought of me, and scared of not even being worthy of being alive. In the program and the fellowship, I met love and compassion. I met people who understood me, and who loved me when I couldn’t love myself. I opened up to my Higher Powers, and today I am so grateful for all the help I have gotten, and am still getting. When I let go, and do my daily program, and trust in the process and in love, then I feel loved and safe, and I know that I am exactly where I am supposed to be.
Final thought: Today, I will surrender to my Higher Powers.
