“Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.”

Again, I had to become humble enough to ask for help. I realized that I could not change alone. I needed God to help me. And the help came in may forms. Not only did I not like the messages I got, I wasn’t too keen on the messengers.
I had to learn a deeper form of humility. This is where I was finally able to completely leave my ego behind…if for just a short time.
Time and time again I was placed in situations where I had to surrender and not give in to my shortcomings. At times it is quite the struggle, but I have been grateful that I was rewarded with not making a fool of myself and given a new way to deal with things that used to drive me right up the wall.
I finally understood grace. From that there came an inner peace and strength that I had not known before.
Step Seven is about humility. Step Seven is about change. Step Seven is about grace.
