~ ACCOMPLISHMENT ~

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:

The central fact of our lives today is

the absolute certainty that our Creator

has entered into our hearts and lives in

a way which is indeed miraculous. He

has commenced to accomplish those things

for us which we could never do by

ourselves.

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:

The one thing that I am absolutely

certain of today is that our Creator,

God, lives in my heart and works

miracles in my life daily. The biggest

miracle, I believe, is having an

awareness of Him, and knowing that He is

in control of all that happens in my

life. His power is infinite. If I were

not aware of God, then I don't believe I

could work this program. It is the

realization that God can accomplish

anything that is helping me to work

daily toward achieving my goal of

continued abstinence and a changed

attitude regarding food.

I cannot change what's in my heart, but

God can. I cannot, of myself, break

lifelong habits, but God can motivate me

to change. I cannot forgive myself all

the pain I've inflicted on myself and

others, while suffering from this

disease, but God can soften my heart,

and help me to forgive by letting me

know that He forgives me. There is

nothing that I can't accomplish when I

take God's hand and let Him lead me.



ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .


I will let God guide me into an ever-deepening relationship with Him so that I may accomplish the great feat of arresting my compulsion to overeat.
