Step Three
"Made a decision to turn our will and our lives
over to the care of God as we understood Him
In step two we came to believe those words remind me
today that I didn't get here alone
When I think about faith today God always comes to mind
not only do I need faith in His care
I also need faith in my sponsor and people of the AA
fellowship God has put into my life
They help me remember where I came from and how the
power of God is keeping me sober
My friends and family are in my life they trust and
respect me for who I have become
They have faith in me because I have changed and am
not the same person I was drinking
I was told the beginning of a spiritual way of life
lays behind the door of step three
The step tells me there is only one key to open the
door to freedom it is called willingness
To me without being willing to seek out this new God
really trying to find him with-in myself
Trying to understand what so many before me came to
believe in God When they were
I was told He was the God with-in me I was desperate
enough to humbly seek Him out
And when I did seek Him out I look deep with in me a
found a God of unconditional love
He forgave me and helped me to find and seek the
forgiveness from all who I hurt
He also showed I must also forgive myself for all the
pain I caused in my sickness
A new way of life was laid at my door and the
willingness to walk thru was given to me
Thru His true love and forgiveness new hope came to
me the desire to drink was lifted
This was only a mere beginning to the rest of the
step the door opened into step four
With new hope I could start doing that inventory with
out any more fear of my past
But I was given a lot of hope and love by accepting
the God of my understanding
I thank God that he led me thru this door of step
three to His loving new way of life
Faith is a fantastic adventure in trusting the God of
my new understand
When fear came knocking on the door faith answered
and no one was there
Remember when fears knocks on your door let your
faith in God answer it
Faith is the tool I used to find the courage to walk
thru my past to find peace and serenity
I hope you all can walk thru that door to the
beginning of your recovery
And find the love and understanding I found
