I think of this gift is one of the most important gifts we can possibly receive from God. Yes, I know, I seem to speak of many of these gifts as the one that is most important. I think it any one time, depending on where I am at in both my Spirit and my head, any one of these gifts could seem the most important. However, once I have realized and admitted my powerlessness and the unmanageability of my life as a result of the first step, I knew I needed help. Then, in the second step, after much introspection and soul-searching, I further realized that that Power greater than myself, that Power that would restore me to sanity, could be… would be… none other than God Himself.
Now was the real time to either fish or cut bait. It was now time to decide, to make the most important decision of my life. I must do what they talk about in the 12-step literature, to surrender my life, to ‘turn it over’ to God. This is when I am about to say the word that I have spoken about often in previous posts, and written about in my recent book, Steps To The Spirit. I am about to say that honest, their revocable, and eternal word. I am about to say, “YES”, to God!
