Step #5 – I Have to Do What (Part 2 )
Manage episode 452936770 series 2925012
So, what I would like to do in this episode, is to speak a little about the first entity that is mentioned in this step, God. As a reminder, this step is, admitted to God, to myself, and to another human being the exact nature of my wrongs. (You’ll find the wording a little bit different in the literature but just as a reminder, this is my version, that works well for me.)
Now, you may wonder, as I did, why it is necessary to admit anything to God. After all, doesn’t he know everything anyway? Well, it’s not like I’m letting God is on something he doesn’t already know. When I finally did the steps in earnest, and incomplete honesty, it seemed to me like an assurance that I had formed the respondent with God.
So it wasn’t that He didn’t know, more like I was cementing that He knows all about me, and that as soon as I said “yes” to God and my Holy Spirit, I knew that there was complete forgiveness for any possible guilt I felt in my soul.
Ultimately, it was good for me to renew and strengthen this relationship with God.
