Submit to God
Our sins cause God to have a controversy with us; submit and humble yourself before Him and He will love you freely.

Living Life Recovery Reflection #229
Philippians 2:4 None of you should look out just for your own good. You should also look out for the good of others.
Progression in the process of recovery brings us into a relationship with others who may not be as far down the recovery road as we are.
I want to start with a word of warning. The first two years of recovery are about getting to know God and yourself. I would not advise anyone with any less than two years’ recovery up to Sponsor anyone else. That being said we all have something to offer each other. I would encourage everyone, no matter where you are on this spiritual journey to do what you can to help others.
- Always be ready to share your experience, strength, and hope.
- Only talk about your own experience.
- Before you share take the time to talk to God about it.
Prayer: God open my eyes and heart to being used by You to help others where I can.
God promises us a new obedient heart
Ezekiel 36:25-27 I will sprinkle pure water on you and make you pure. I will wash away all your filth, the filth from those nasty idols, and I will make you pure. I will also put a new spirit in you to change your way of thinking. I will take out the heart of stone from your body and give you a tender, human heart. I will put my Spirit inside you and change you so that you will obey my laws. You will carefully obey my commands.
God promises to give us a new obedient heart and fill us with the Holy Spirit so we can make the right choices in our lives and follow His program.
