"Without
the possibility of choice and the exercise of choice one is not a
person but a member, an instrument, a thing." Archibald MacLeish
Spirituality
involves the freedom to change. Growth requires a variety of choices.
My past addiction was a life of slavery because it removed my creative
choice and left me obsessing about drugs and alcohol. My life,
conversation, and thoughts revolved around the bottle, and I was
oblivious to the true meaning of life. My freedom to experience the
spiritual power of God's creativity was lost in the mindless craving for
drugs. In this sense, drug addiction is slavery. Today I am free to see
God's world in people, places, and things. Now I make the choice to
live, love, and laugh.
I am growing in my awareness of Your multifaceted love for me.
