Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. — Goethe
When our ability to participate again in life is restored through recovery, we also rediscover the gift of commitment. Maybe the commitment is to raising a child, doing a job we love, earning a degree, or working on a special relationship. It is a moment of wonder when we have something in our lives that requires the best we have to give.
During times of doubt or struggle, we may question what we’ve gotten ourselves into. But an activity or a person to which we give ourselves wholly and freely is evidence of our Higher Power in our lives. If the commitment is to something God has asked us to do, we can know absolutely that God will help us take care of it. The time we need will come, money will come, support will come, and the energy and enthusiasm we need will come. Although it may appear that things are simply going our way, we can trust God is giving them to us so our task can be accomplished.
Today offers me a wonderful opportunity to fulfill my commitments in peace and grace. I am being looked after.
Hazelden Foundation
