The profound nature through which God operates is based in love.  Love freely given and love freely received.  The choice is always ours.  We can choose the option of walking the path of life with love and in the direction of love and love’s growth or we can choose the option of the opposite of love and love’s growth.  It is not about always choosing the right option.  It is about always knowing there are options.  Love does not force itself.  It simply offers itself up as a path to freedom.  When we go with the love option and walk this path of freedom of our hearts we come upon all the obstacles we have placed past and present which stand in the way of the path.  When this occurs we think we have chosen the wrong option.  We believe the obstacles are the option we have chosen.  This is where our relationship with God enables us with courage to find the love in the obstacles.  In my own life this is exactly what happened when I chose the option of living soberly.  As I worked through the 12 steps I had to take a long hard look at the life I had been living all the while opting to live differently.  Making peace with my past could have stopped me in my path but I chose the option of asking God for help so I might see even my mistakes and pains with love. God is more than ready when we chose the option of love to supply the courage to see with the eyes of love. One day at a time, I am willing.
