Step
Three: JUST FOR TODAY!
--
Could
and Would
Step
Three: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives
over to the care of God as we understood Him.
From
"How It Works:"
"Our
description of the alcoholic, the chapter to the
agnostic, and our personal adventures before and after
make clear three pertinent ideas:
(a)
That we were alcoholic and could not manage our
own lives.
(b)
That probably no human power could have relieved
our alcoholism.
(c)
That God could and would if He were sought."

Just
for Today -- A Daily Devotional
**********************************
Reprinted
from Today’s Gift - One of the greatest decisions any
of us ever made concerned our Third Step.
This decision seemed to go against everything we
wanted to do.
We all know so well that every time we tried to
manage our own lives, we produced misery and heartache.
Human beings seem created to fight the decision
to give up control.
Yet this decision in Step Three, very hard for us
to make, was one of the greatest decisions we ever made.
When
we did our Third Step, we merely embraced the truth.
When we decided to let God be God, we were able
to participate in the plan.
Whenever we let go and let God, we become a
player on a team that will always win.
WILL
POWER = Our WILL-ingness to use a Higher POWER.

He
put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of
praise to our God.
Many will see
and fear
and put their trust in
the LORD.
Blessed
is the man
who makes the LORD his trust,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods.
-- Psalm
40:3-4

”Two are better than one, because they
have a good reward for their toil.
For if they fall, one will lift up the other;
but woe to one who is alone and falls
and does not have another to help”

this message to other alcoholics!
You
can help when no one else can."
