June 26 ,2018 Through The Twelve Steps With Spiritual Truth From Scripture

Psalm 25 v 11 For the sake of your name, Lord, pardon my guilt, though it is great.

(GODS BIG BOOK)

STEP 5. We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. 

James 5:16a NIV (GODS BIG BOOK)

Only God can Pardon sin and lift the weight of guilt. Guilt is a burden no one can carry and it will eat you alive like cancer.The saying is , we are only sick as our secrets ! If your heart is full of guilt, regret, and pain there will be no room for Gods peace and rest. Working this step you cannot hold anything back, God already knows, He is waiting to see if your going to trust Him with your deepest secrets.Get on your knees open your Heart invite Him in and He will help you clean House!

I'm Sorry Daddy, I Won't Be at Your Funeral | The Fix: I used to think my relationship with my father was unique, different: complicated on its best day and toxic, disruptive, and unbearable on its worst. I know now it’s not unique.

True North and the Geographical Cure | The Fix

True North and the Geographical Cure | The Fix: What it was like then: misery that had me researching the methods and means of suicide in the middle of the night on my cell phone, back turned to my husband, who was fast asleep, and to my children, asleep between us.
