As we grow spiritually in recovery God expects us to follow-through.Follow Through - on the decision we made in Step 3 to turn our will and life over to His care.
Decisions to: let Him be in Charge - let Him lead the way - to love Him - to trust Him and to live our lives in service for Him.
Follow Through - on the promise we made in Step 11 to seek through daily prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with Him in order to discover His will for us and ask Him to provide all we need to carry out His will.
Psalm 138:8 (The Message)
Finish what you started in me, God. Your love is eternal—don't quit on me now.
Recovery requires daily communication in order for us to obtain daily spiritual growth. God will not give up on us and we must not give up on Him. Recovery is a lifelong growth process.
Follow Through - on our commitment in Step 12 - That having had a spiritual awakening (through personal relationship with Him and the power of the Holy Spirit living in and through us) We will tell others not only about recovery but about the love God expressed for each of us through sending His only Son to die for our sin. To this end we commit to seeking and finding and sharing the 'Good News' with others so the too can come to know God as their loving Heavenly Father and follow through on the decisions and coommitments they too will be called to make as they travel the road of recovery and spiritual growth.
