About my Father's business

Today marks the fifth year of my sobriety, and as God has intended, I am reminded of my devastating weakness: that I am powerless over people, places, and things.

I am surrounded by situations that I would like to change, control, or just outright demolish. That today by sheer grace, I recognize and accept that I not only have no power (though I have driven myself mad deluded that I do), I have no right - it is my Father's business.

What I love about my God though, is that He has never let me suffer for too long. His scale of justice has balanced out this erratic person's circumstances so many times, it is impossible to not see Providence in my life today. It only takes an open mind, an open heart, and the belief that redemption is offered for all who seek. Amen.
