THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE

"Jesus replied, 'What is impossible with men is possible with God.'" Luke 18:27

"...Step Six is still difficult, but not at all impossible." Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, page 68

For what it's worth: Sobriety was impossible for this diseased drunk, yet it happened. It seemed to me joy, peace, and the good things in life were impossible to me, yet it happened. Living a spiritual life was impossible, yet it happened. This worthless drunk did not do it. God did it. Today, after 36 years of sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous, applying the Twelve Steps to the best of my ability one day at a time, there are still days when spiritual progress seems impossible. Yet, it is possible because of a gift from a merciful, loving God, Step Six. Despite my defects, weaknesses, and spiritual inadequacies, when I keep begging my Heavenly Father for willingness, He makes the impossible possible.

God bless you.
