“When the student is ready, the teacher will appear…”

Over the past six years, my membership in SA has led me to learn many things about life, how to relate to people, how to love, how to share and care. However, I have not always found myself very open to the lessons being taught within the SA Program. All too often my ego and my pride get in the way, and a form of deafness, keeps me from hearing the message. Only when I have been humbled and am at my most vulnerable point, am I ready to listen, to learn, to grow.

As resilient as my ego is, it doesn’t take much encouragement for it to start growing again…for it to block out the light of truth. So I need humility; otherwise recovery will turn out to be a long and painful process.

God, I pray for humility and the willingness to listen and to learn.
