I was made for love, and recovery means becoming more fully the person I was meant to be. I do not discover this path by analysing it from a distance. I begin to understand only when I risk living in its spirit, and then I find myself doing things I would not have expected of myself, things that bring life, lift other people up, and carry hope. That is why humility matters so much here. If I want real change, I have to accept that relationship comes first: trust in Higher Power, openness to guidance, and the willingness to risk following where that guidance leads. Without that risk there is no deep relationship, and without relationship there is no real transformation and healing. #lent #12steps #step7
