Perseverance

What is it? 

Perseverance in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. 

It’s all about the journey. 

Like life on life’s terms in it’s correct context. Things will be Ok. I just need to put one foot in front of the other.  God goodness will get me there, if there is where I am suppose to be. All I know is that things go better with God. Now, I do not want to be where God is not. As a fool I brought myself a lifetime of doing that and as a fool I know I can do it again. Constant vigilance are my watch words. 

It’s like I have heard so many times in the rooms.. “If I would have sold out early for what I got in recovery, I would sold out way short” 

I know that’s true, because coming and staying in our spiritual neighborhood of truth for almost forty years, things have continued to get better and better. I can honestly say at this point in my life, there really isn’t any down side. I simply stay focused on the light of Christ and everything works out the way its suppose to. As you told me, humility, which is a far better viewpoint for lifving, is not thinking less of myself, It’s simply thinking of myself less. 

So… what I know for sure Is that I don’t. I reach for God instead and He lets me know or not, depending on the situation, then WE take from there. That works for I no longer run the show. 

I always have so much more than I can possibly do today because I am sober and alert with a true realization and gratitude for the blessed Grace of God. 

There are always so many good things to attend myself to that can really make a difference in my life through giving into the lives of others. 

Like you said  “You only get what you give.” 

IF I stay willing to be of service. 

I can persevere.
