Lonely. Lost. Helpless. Hopeless. Afraid. Angry. Out of control. Depressed. These describe how my life was not too long ago. Before I came into a relationship with my God, life was miserable. It was a mess too big for me to fix. It was a constant struggle just to get through. I was unhappy, had a huge void in my heart, and turned to alcohol to try to fill it. My relationships were unfullfilling. I allowed anyone who paid any attention to me to come into my life. Yes, I wanted to change, but didn't know how.
Then I got sober...And life started to take on a new meaning! I entered into a satisfying relationship with God and am madly in love with Him. I began to have hope, faith, purpose in life. It took some time, but I was able to work through the pain, hurt, and disappointment of my past. I began to heal, forgive (myself and others), and let go of the things that held me back. I started having healthy relationships with others who were walking my same path.
Life today is by no means perfect, but it is so good. Why? Because God is good. Over the years, He has not failed me. He has always been near to comfort, heal, protect, provide for, and love me. He is my strength when I am weak, my compass when I'm lost, my comfort when I was hurting, my light when all was dark. Today, God is my reason to live! Life is SO MUCH better with God! I pray that you will come to know Him and love Him as I have.
