“Experience is not what happens to us. It is what we do with what happens to us.”
~ Aldous Huxley
I feel the joy of sobriety. I see God in my world. I know the peace and serenity that eluded me for years. Experience is a key to my recovery. It locates all that is tangible in my life. It allows me to appreciate what living is all about.
Love is meant to be felt. Forgiveness is meant to be experienced. Humility is meant to be lived in action. Hope is meant to be recognized in the brightness of the eyes. My spirituality entails the lived experience of God working in my world. Recovery is not something I can merely intellectualize—I must walk the talk. Joy should not be limited to the imagination—I want to feel it. Today I live my dream as experienced reality.
Loving Creator; may my experience of You be reflected in my daily life.
