REACH THE UNREACHABLE

"Afterward, we found our selves accepting many things which then seemed entirely out of reach." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 47

"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed planted in a field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but it ... grows into a tree where birds can come and find shelter in its branches." Matthew 13: 31-32

For what it’s worth: Alcoholics Anonymous was the last place I sought help. It was beneath me, and I was convinced it would not work for me, especially once I heard God was involved. He hated me and I was afraid of Him. I had insulted Him too often. He would guarantee my failure in Alcoholics Anonymous as in life. However, at my first meeting I sensed I belonged - a feeling so needed and welcome it kept me coming back until I found myself “accepting many things which seemed entirely out of reach”. Ever so slowly, I believed I could recover; I could be forgiven; and, my “mustard seed” grew into a tree where I reached the unreachable – trusting that God really loves me just as I am.

God bless you.
