“A FLAME OF FIRE”

"Are we now ready to let God remove from us all the things which we have admitted are objectionable? Can He now take them all -- every one? If we still cling to something we will not let go, we ask God to help us be willing." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 76

"The tongue is a flame of fire. It is full of wickedness that can ruin your whole life. It can turn the entire course of your life into a blazing flame of destruction, for it is set on fire by hell itself." James 3: 6

For what it's worth: My tongue destroyed many precious relationships during my drinking years, and it can do the same in sobriety. My own experiences prove to me “this flame of fire” has horrible power to hurt both me and those I love; but it is tragically weak at healing the wounds. I am deeply grateful for Alcoholics Anonymous Steps 6 and 7. I can beg my Heavenly Father for the willingness to be rid of this defect before it sparks a "blazing flame of destruction”. He and I know my tongue has created enough anguish for me and those I have harmed.

God bless you.
Joe W.
