"Jesus replied, ‘No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.’”
LUKE 9:62
My four-year-old grandson is an avid bug catcher!
He spends hours in the rock garden turning over every stone, looking for roly-polies or other tiny, bug-like creatures.
He’s extremely focused, and should one of us wander into the yard while he’s bug hunting, he’s happy to enlist our help with his mission. As I noted my grandson’s devotion to bug catching,
I realized an important truth:
If we’re not willing to turn over every stone in our search for wholeness, we may miss some of the treasures God has waiting for us.
He loves to reward our hard work with unexpected blessings, but we won’t find them unless we are searching diligently.
In recovery, it’s not enough to just get by.
To find true peace, healing, forgiveness, courage, and all the rest that wholeness provides, we must stay focused and dedicated at all times.
We have to be willing to use all the resources God has provided and call on every person we know to help us.
We have to be all in.
Like my grandson, we have to turn over every stone.
PRAYER Heavenly Father, put a passion and fire in my heart to fully commit to my recovery and find every unexpected blessing you have for me. In Jesus’ name,
