Accident

What if my recovery wasn't an accident, but instead something that resided in me waiting to be transformed and restored by God all along?

My need to please others had to be torn down and exposed for the fraudulence that it is. So that once the plucking and removing began, God could begin to replace it with a more concrete foundation, a reality that exists in Christ alone. That my "roots would grow down into Him and let your (my) lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness." Colossian 2:7 NLT

Maybe my mistake has been in the thinking God wasn't a part of my recovery when truth is this is His show and I was the one invited to be a part of it. To purge myself of self so that "He must increase and I must decrease" John 3:30 KJV

So I can shed the idea of living my life & instead embrace the reality that I am living the life He gave to me!
