"In a race, it is not the start that hurts, not the even pace of the long stretch. It is when the goal is in sight that heart and nerves and courage and muscles are strained almost beyond human endurance, almost to breaking point.
So with you now, the goal is in sight, you need your final cry to Me. Can you not see by the nerve and heart rack of the past few days that your race is nearly run. Courage. Courage. Heed My voice of encouragement. Remember that I am by your side, spurring you on to victory."
God Calling, February 13
Can't resist commenting that this reading reminds me of something my first sponsor would always say, "The closer you get to HP, the harder your disease will try to work." That has indeed been my experience.
FYI, I am waiting for One minute God Calling and ACOA daily affirmations to arrive. I will post interchangeably from each soon, if everyone seems to like it.
Interesting, since early sobriety, I've visioned my HP as my supportive father, in the football stands of life, cheering me on to sobriety, accomplishing personal goals and prosperity.
