Life Transformation With Spiritual Support From Scripture And The 12 Steps

Psalm 119- 29

Keep me from cheating and telling lies. Be kind to me and teach me your law.

 

STEP 6

Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Really are you ready ! Remaining where you are in life will not bring the change you so desperately seek. Change is something most of us fear . We get set in our ways ! If your working Step 6, be very proud of yourself , most never get this far in Recovery.We recognize now how messed up and painful our lives had become okay we have reached our breaking point.Their is a lot we know about our behaviors but their is much yet to be discovered. God has taken you this far and the transformation and restoration has truly just begun.God wants us to be who He created us to be, not who we thought we wanted to be. You see where that got you! Lost, broken, and helpless , because life was never designed for you to live without Him. Along the way in order to survive you learned a lot of very bad habits or as would , some would call them character defects. I don't like using that latter term because its a very negative label that the world puts on folks who are struggling. They are not character defects ,they are learned behaviors, a by-product of our sinful nature . God has a better way all you have to do is keep going even when it gets tough. Put all your trust into Gods plan ! When you reach the other side of the steps you will see the miraculous transformation in your life and you will never be who you thought you wanted to be, you will be who God purposed you too be.

Jeremiah 29 v 11

 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
