Good Friday

Rebirth... what is the cost, or the price, of really being born again?

We have to "die" first... that is the price and the reward!

For me, I have still hung on to so much of my "self". Self will, self centeredness... it's been all about me all the freakin' time. This sobriety thing, I often still see it as a sacrifice, or something that others have to accomodate, and it is the end of who I "think" I am. I don't want to "die".

But to be reborn, to live, I have to let go completely... and I must "die" first.

It's scary. It's absolute. I have to trust God completely that I will, indeed,.... rise again.
