JUST FOR TODAY! -- Living Fully

From "He Sold Himself Short:"

"This latest part of my life has had a purpose, not in great things accomplished but in daily living.  Courage to face each day has replaced the fears and uncertainties of earlier years.  Acceptance of things as they are has replaced the old impatient champing at the bit to conquer the world.  I have stopped tilting at windmills, and instead have tried to accomplish the little daily tasks, unimportant in themselves, but tasks that are an integral part of living fully."

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

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

I think the greatest thing we learn in recovery is the acceptance of things as they are -- not rejoicing in hurts and turmoil – but in knowing that God had a part in the event because there was something He needed to teach us, something He needed to teach someone else or someway in which His kingdom will be glorified. 

We no longer have to conquer the world or our addiction, or people, or achieve the highest plateau, we can live one day at a time and realize our part in this gigantic world is glorifying God – spreading His Good News and telling our story to other hurting souls. 

“The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.  Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners — of whom I am the worst.  But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life” -- Timothy 1:14-16

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.

Proverbs 3, 5-6
