Synopsis "From Addict to Disciple: Recovery Is A Life of Daily Grace in the Holy Spirit"
As a recovering addict, I have discovered that I must rely on God's grace to get me down the road to recovery-a daily, moment-by-moment walk with Jesus Christ. His grace is undeserved favor and cannot be earned. God's grace is a free gift to each of His children. It's my choice whether or not I receive His gifts of grace, which include salvation, eternal life, deliverance from addictions, and the gift of the Holy Spirit.Also, I have discovered that an attitude of gratitude is necessary for my recovery. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I am thankful in every circumstance because I am saved from the pits of hell due to my faith in Jesus Christ! Jesus did not have to do what He did-He died a horrible death on a cross as the final payment of my sins. Jesus paid the debt that I never could, which leaves me in awe and with a grateful heart for the wonderful things He did for me! Jesus deserves to be praised often each day! I am sure to thank Him for all that He provides, such as food, shelter, the ability to write and earn a living, the people in my life, trials, sickness, addictions, and salvation. The good and the bad combined help lead me to Jesus' saving grace.
