As We Understood
Personal Jesus
08/Apr/08 Filed in: 3rd Step
AA's wording of Step Three suggests that we turn
"our will and our lives over to the care of God
as we underst[an]d Him." This expresses
a humble point of view, one that recognizes that
no one of us is capable of fully understanding
God and His will. While all of us in this
recovery fellowship recognize Jesus as our Higher
Power, no two of us have the same relationship
with Him. He reaches out to us as individuals,
loving each uniquely.
Chapter 4 of the Big Book closes with these words: "Even so has God restored us all to our right minds. To this man, the revelation was sudden. Some of us grow into it more slowly. But He has come to all who have honestly sought Him.
"When we drew near to Him He disclosed Himself to us!"
Reach out and touch faith.
