DEPENDENT ON THE SHEPHERD

“We never apologize to anyone for depending upon our Creator.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 68

“The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.” Psalm 23:1

For what it's worth: Independence from God is what I sought in my drinking. That led to total dependence on alcohol and near death, right in front of the gates of hell, and without a God. But He was there, forgiving my attitude toward Him, rescuing me and leading me to green pastures beside restful waters in Alcoholics Anonymous. It turns out that He is my Good Shepherd. He restores my soul using the Twelve Steps. And, when I wander off too close to the wolves, He comes for me and carries this weak, little lamb close to His heart, as we walk together on the right path, Alcoholics Anonymous. My Good Shepherd sees to it that I have everything I need. I have come to depend upon Him.

God bless you!
