Step 7 Humility
Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
You ever eat humble pie? I have had force feedings. To be “humiliated and be humble can be 2 different things… But pride is “right out” You dig?
Because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the person who humbles himself will be exalted.” Mark 14:11
In the last step I was talking about how much I love filthy things… Gossip is one of my all time favorites…. How about you? It’s time to change. If we are honest about working the steps we don’t have any choice BUT to change. That’s how powerful the steps are.
The 7th step helps me to remain humble. That if I think “I got it” or that I’m “cured” then I could be walking on thin slippery ice. I’m going to screw up again but God continues to remove my shortcomings and make me aware that I must turn to Him daily for help.. Don’t take your higher power for granted.
And of course to continue working on changing those “character defects” into assets.
