Can SOMEBody Please tell me why CHANGE seems to only happen in BabySteps?
BabyStep! after BabyStep! after BabyStep! From “There” to Here!
Why can’t I wake up one morning and Just Decide to be “HERE”?
AA tells me it’s because I keep looking for the “easier, softer” way.
Most Recovery Programs say: “Take These (12) Steps.” (P.S. – it all helps)
I’m sure it’s because I’d rather “Do it My Way! – by myself!”
JESUS says: “Jim, follow Me, I know the way!” –
Actually….
Something I continue to learn is that HE IS The Way. He takes my hand in His and says: “Jimmy, let’s take a walk through the garden this morning and let me tell you a few things about having me in your life. We can lie down in this green pasture, beside the still water and enjoy some quiet time together. You will find some healing and strength as we do it.”
“Now, listen to me very closely – This is important!”
“This afternoon we have a mountain to climb, but I’ll keep your hand in Mine and we’ll go there together! Trust Me.”
When we leave this quiet place, we’ll see some lions, tigers, and maybe even a bear or two. It may seem dark, you may not see me as clearly as you do now.
But Fear Not, I Will be with you!
I Promise!”
“I have something to teach you that can’t be learned here – in the garden.”
BabyStep after BabyStep – with my hand in His!! …From “HERE” to “THERE!”
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
It Really IS Just That Simple
