Have Faith - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

***cmc*** · 04-09-2008, 11:20 AM

Many years ago during a series of tragic events in my life I was forced to finally settle the issue in my mind and heart about the goodness of God. My faith in Him was not the issue at that time. You see, I believed and knew that He could make it 'all better' if He chose to do so. When the miracles didn't manifest, I faced spiritual confusion.

This was entirely about His will...an unseen force, and about my trusting in the goodness of that will. Trusting that He knew what was best, that things happen in my life for a reason beyond what my linear thought can comprehend.

So...yes I have lost my faith before and may lose it again, but He has never lost me nor one teeny bit His power, which is omninous and eternal; nor His essence which is love.
