God Centered/I Centered

Wisdom is knowledge applied.
Head knowledge is useless on
the battlefield.
Knowledge stamped on the heart
makes one wise.

-Beth Moore

I was sent this quote today and remembered being told that the longest journey that I will make is from my head to my heart.

When I come from my heart I know I am God conscious and when I am acting off the top of my head, I am self centered, unless I have taken my day to the God of my understanding.

Today I am definitely GOD centered. It was not always that way. I had many years when I woudl not allow my HP into my life. I had given up on HIM because i THOUGHt he had given up on me. I could not imagine a loving GOD allowing me to live in such misery.

But once I found recovery, I saw that working the steps was the only way. And that by allowing GOD back into my life. It woudl make it much easier to work those steps. So little by little i begn to trust and rely on HIm. Then i found a churhc..a new faith. And that strengthened my God-centeredness.

Having GOD in my life each and every day is the best gift of the program.

I always knew God was there, even when I was using. I just never tapped into the resources or the power to help me live my life. I didn't know that when I surrendered people, places and things, as well as myself (my thoughts, my feelings, my actions, my being) I was empowered to do what I needed to do for myself. I had never made God personal although on several times I had asked Him to come into my life, I remained detached.
