God Has No Plan B

We hear it all the time. “Your addiction messed up God’s Plan A for your life. But his Plan B is still wonderful!”
God has no Plan B.
Let me repeat that. God has no Plan B.
“We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” (Romans 8:28).
Regardless of your failures, you’re still on God’s Plan A for your life. Not your Plan A, but God’s Plan A. You simply aren’t powerful enough to void God’s Plan A. You can still fulfill God’s dream for your life.
Quit saying, “I threw it all away. I’ve messed up too much.” You serve a bigger God than that.
While your addiction was never God’s intent, he never sees problems. He only sees opportunities. Your setback was God’s set-up for something he saw coming the whole time. God’s Plan A is not dependent on your performance, but on his grace.
Your addiction is just one small piece to God’s puzzle. It is a part of you. You are different because of it, but no less a part of God’s puzzle.
Recovery Step: Embrace your life now. And celebrate this – God’s Plan A is still on track.

A Stranger Came To Church

One Sunday, the pastor announced that a special guest would be joining the congregation in mere minutes – Lucifer. He told the morning crowd, “The devil will be here in five minutes. If you want to leave, you better leave now.”
Five minutes later, the devil arrived, walked into the church auditorium, and faced a room full of empty pews.
Except for one man.
The devil looked down from the platform and addressed the man, sitting on the front pew. “Aren’t you afraid of me? Do you know who I am?”
“Sure, you’re the devil,” the lone congregant replied.
The devil asked, “Then why are you still here? Aren’t you afraid of me?”
The man explained, “Why would I be afraid of you? I’ve been married to your sister for 35 years!”
So what’s the point of this story? No point. I just thought you could use a good laugh.
Recovery Step: The Bible says, “A merry heart is good medicine” (Proverbs 17:22).
