Just in case any body is wondering the scripture for this area says: "I know that nothing good lives in me, that is in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out." NIV        Report

I am one of Jesus's, He has been true to His word, and that is why I'm so glad that it is all about His faithfulness and not mine. That it is all about His righteousness and not mine, about His love and unmerited favour for me. I just have six months sobriety. I've just finshed the first half of step 4.and today I'm very much aware that there is no good thing in me.  I am clean and sober, but I still have pride and arrogance operating in me. I keep vascilating between the drivers seat and the passenger seat of my life. I want.......... vision, meaning and purpose, I want my life to count for Jesus. I am feeling a little low today. I'm not good at dying to self. I know that the Holy Spirit lives within, but experientially I'm feeling quite alone in here. I'm not looking for a bunch of warm fuzzy encouraging words, I guess that I'm saying that I know how it feels to know the truth of how it feels to know " that no good thing"  is in me,  it feels hollow, dusty, and it echos.   I'm in Him, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

It is especially hard once we gain some sobriety and we need to remember that it is an acceptance of Grace that granted us sobriety rather than an action of our own. God gives us the opportunity to accept His gifts through the Spirit, but we must humble ourselves and ask and accept them with praise and thanksgiving. The tough part is remembering who is in control: the ant on a log in the river thinks he's driving too.    Report
