Be a miracle.
Just by showing up sober. It’s a choice.
I made that choice and never looked back. I am forever grateful for God relieving me of the obsession to drink. If I could have stopped on my own, I would have. It was not until I surrendered to God and let Him do the work in me, that my need to drink was lifted. Gone. Wow.
So grateful.
Quickest way out of my own head is to help somebody else—the high I sought in alcohol—but so much more satisfying! Thinking about someone else…what a concept!
Now I can be the example of the miracle that can happen when we choose to show up and be sober. You can too. And, you can make a difference for others just by showing up sober.
Trust me. I chose this path a number of days ago (5492 days to be exact) and haven’t had the need to pick up a drink since. By the Grace of God.
I heard this song the other day by Natalie Grant, called “Be One.” I hope the words of this song lift you today.
Be One, by Natalie Grant
We don't feel ready
We don't feel steady
Question what we really have to give
Stay where it's safer
Claim faith, but waiver
Is this how we really meant to live?
We pray but never move
We say but never do
It's time to get our hands dirty
Be love there's a whole lot of hurting
Calling all hearts
Calling all hands
Calling all feet to take a stand
Why sit around and wait for a miracle to come?
When we can be one
A little somethin'
Might feel like nothin'
But in His hands it's all we'll ever need
To speak life to the broken
Watch the blind eyes open
It's who He's calling you and me to be
It's time to get our hands dirty
Be love there's a whole lot of hurting
Calling all hearts
Calling all hands
Calling all feet to take a stand
Why sit around and wait for a miracle to come?
When we can be one
We can be the change, be the hope
We can be the arms that don't let go
We can be a light in the dark
We are, we are where it starts
It's time to get our hands dirty
Be love there's a whole lot of hurting
Calling all hearts
Calling all hands
Calling all feet to take a stand
Why sit around and wait for a miracle to come?
When we can be one
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
