January 11.2019 Through The Twelve Steps With Spiritual Truth From Scripture TODAY STEP 6

STEP 6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.



Psalm 37 8 Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper it only leads to harm.




There is no reason to be long winded on this one ! Losing your cool can ruin everything ! Take a minute cool off and talk it out there is always a better solution .In the long run it will be you who pays the price.




James 1:19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,

Psalm 103:3 Who pardons all your iniquities,Who heals all your diseases;By Joseph Dickerson/Recovery Connections Network.
