STILL HARD TO BELIEVE

“Some will become quite annoyed if there is talk about immorality, let alone sin.” 12&12 p.48

“For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.” Romans 7:18

For what it's worth: My sinful nature destined me to the eternal fires of hell. So I believed. So I drink. Gratefully, when I was sober in Alcoholics Anonymous long enough to be rid of some old ideas, I began to believe I just might dodge hell’s fire. The trouble today is I still have that sinful nature. Some defects I have been working on for years keep repeating as if I have made not even an ounce of progress. I know I need be careful not to beat up on myself and stay in Step Ten and close to my Heavenly Father. Words cannot express my gratitude for His patience and unconditional love. For this once worthless and sinful drunk, some days it is still hard to believe.

God bless you!
