x So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. ~ Hebrews 2:1 (NLT)

What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous, Page 85

God’s love
persists.
We’re not cast off
for human frailties.
Obsession may recede
as truth prevails,
yet I’m not cured,
I’m not safe, I’m not home free —
for insidious insanity
innocuously intrudes
to pilfer peace,
to cast me back
on fear,
on doubt,
powerless,
encased in guilt — when I neglect
to claim the peace

God, I seek a reprieve today,
I seek your peace,
your warm embrace
as I persist in hope.
