RFA Talk > A Quote

Here's a quote I read the other day from the British hymn writer Frances Havergal that has nothing to do with recovery yet really has everything to do with recovery:)

"Writing is praying with me, for I never seem to write even a verse by myself, and feel like a little child writing; you know a child would look up at every sentence and say, 'And what shall I say next?' That is just what I do...The Master has not put a chest of poetic gold into my possession and said, 'Now use it as you like!'...But He keeps the gold, and gives it to me piece by piece just when He will and as much as He will, and no more."

I would say, "I don't have any recovery by myself...I'm a child who must say 'HP, what shall I do next?'. My HP has not given me a chest of recovery to use how I like it; rather He gives it to me, like gold, piece by piece, just when He will and as much as He will, and no more."
