“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.” -- James 4:10

"When men and women pour so much alcohol into themselves that they destroy their lives, they commit a most unnatural act ... As they are humbled by the terrific beating administered by alcohol, the grace of God can enter them and expel their obsession."

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

**********************************

Active addiction has left us very wounded.  We are fearful of allowing people into the innermost part of our being, that is knowing character defects.  We are even leery of God – feeling even He may reject us because we were so horrible and had done so many hurtful things to ourselves not to mention those that we have loved.

But working step 6 – we find that God’s grace is much larger than any fear we have and when we humbly face His grace and mercy – we enter into healing -- as God does expel those traits so in need of change.  The first one is the hardest, but once we see God’s grace and mercy in action, we will almost be eager to have Him clean up the rest. 

“When he arrived and saw the evidence of the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.” -- Acts 11:23
