Good Morning, My name is Hilarie and I am a Recovered alcoholic.... This stood out to me "We can exercise our will power along this line all we wish. It is the proper use of the will." as I hadn't noticed the "proper use of the will" part before. It was hard for me at first to trust that God's will was better than mine. My will was usually obtained by sneaky and manipulative means, therefore dark and misaligned with God's will which meant that eventually my plan/will would come crashing down. Maybe not right away, but if it's not in accordance to God's will, it's wrong and will be dismantled. This is done NOT to punish me or hurt me, this is done to get me back on track with him and what he has planned for me. My decisions that are acted upon formed by impure motive, thought, or any agenda that is not Gods, that's what creates havoc and drama. Not them, not God, all me. God is Pure. God is Truth. God is Good, and so...
