Powerless

A new year rolled in again and with it a sore reminder of my powerlessness as a human being.

I think about how many times I've complained about maintaining this body of mine. Then God gently says in my spirit they if I weren't alive I wouldn't need to care for it at all. 

This is the same with our weaknesses of character. It is a huge pain to deal with- but what's the alternative as long as we are breathing?

As humans we are going to fail over and over again. The answer, of course, comes only by turning our weaknesses over to Him. For when I am weak He is made strong. 

We admitted we were powerless over our addiction--that our lives had become unmanageable. ~ Step One
