Love conquers all; let us surrender to love.
~ Virgil ~
In Step Three, we turn our lives over to God’s care, God’s love. If we turn our lives over to a loving God, we can conquer all.
If you need proof, look around at your next meeting. The room will be full of people who know that love conquers addiction. Like them, we’ve surrendered to love. Once we’ve done this, we can’t use again. For us, using alcohol or other drugs is an act of hate, not love.
To face the hard things in life, we’ll need a lot of love. We’ll find love in our Higher Power, groups, and friends. We’re now part of a community based on love. We’re all working at turning our lives over to love.
Prayer for the Day
There was a time that love scared me. It still does, at times. Higher Power, help me see that You tire love, and I must follow where love takes me.
Action for the Day
I’ll meditate on the question, “How has Step Three changed my life?”
