This path does not really end. Life with God is not a project I finish once and for all, but a road I keep walking. That can feel tiring, but it can also be freeing, because I do not have to solve my whole life at once. What matters most is today. Not “I will never fall again” or “I must already be healed,” but “today I take the next step.” Today I love, today I tell the truth, today I try again, today I let God be with me here. This takes away the pressure to be perfect. I am not asked to be flawless, only willing to grow. The point is not spiritual perfection, but spiritual progress, however small, however unfinished. Even when something seems over, life is not over. Even when I fall, the story keeps going. Life is still moving, and God is still at work. #lent #12steps #step12 View quoted note →
