Songs that touch us

At group the other night someone shared something about a hymn.  I thought it would be fun to post parts of songs that remind you of this journey, strengthen you on this journey, or just make your days go better.  I love the power of music!

In Lord I Would Follow Thee, it says "In the wounded heart is hidden, sorrow that thee eye can't see."  That makes me think about wives of addicts.  People can't always see our hurts, but they are there.  I wish I could more easily see the hurt to turn women to the 12 steps to help them through the hard times.

What songs do you love and why?

Step One- Honesty

So, I guess I'll jump in and start with something I learned about step one yesterday.  I think a lot of the time when I am thinking about step one, I think about admitting how horrible I am without God and how admitting that I can't get better without Him makes life easier.  While that is possibly part of it (at least what I get out of it), while I was at my therapist with my husband and he pointed out a positive aspect of step one that I had never thought about.

We must be honest about the fact that we are worth it!  We are worth the pain that Christ went through.  We are worth the love He gives us.  We are worth the love others give us.  We are HONESTLY of infinite worth!  That gave me a boost and I hope it gives someone else a boost too!
