There is power in humility

By the time most of us make it to the halls of recovery we had to be humbled. Because of our denial, pride, and willing to control, blinded us from humbling ourselves and receiving help.

Many of us saw humility as a weakness, we thought we had to fight with all our might and power to gain control only to find out we were digging a deeper hole. Lack of power was surely our dilemma.

Turning our will and lives over to God for many was the last house on the block. Not knowing that it was the best house on the block. We found out that God would not get in the way of the power we though we had, and at any time if we wanted to take our power back God would not get in our way. He will step to the side and let you fall again, but because of his love for us He will be right there to pick you up, dust you off hoping this time we will totally surrender and let Him be the captain of our ship.

Learning how to humble ourselves, and throwing up the white flag is what God was waiting for. Once again it starts with humbling yourself. There’s no way you can get around it. Those that surrender to humility early avoid a lot of pain and aggravation later on in life.

Stay Woke: Humble thyself before the Lord and He will exalt you!
