Is Life Tough?

Yes life can seem tough and unfair. It may seem extremely unfair to a person in recovery. We watch people do wrong and get away with it. We watch people be unethical and seem to be rewarded. We wonder why we must be so honest, ethical and always do the right thing. It sometimes feels so frustrating. We attempt to live properly and sometimes it seems we don’t get ahead or even feel punished for doing the right thing. However when we continue on this path even when feeling frustrated. Make no mistake the rewards do come. Not always financially or in accolades from peers or society. They come in our hearts. They come in the feelings that come from living righteously > they come from the feelings that come from a clear conscious. There is no financial reward or accolade that can rival the feelings of a live of living righteously. Or that of a clear conscious. However these feeling of freedom and joy do not come overnight.
There is also the relief of the freedom from the past. If you get truly honest, with self. We have no right to demand to feel so free. After all in our past life what have we been guilty of? If anything we should be forever grateful we don’t get everything we deserve. If you think about it honestly. We really have not paid the piper for all we were guilty of while we were using and abusing. But for the grace of God. We have a reprieve, a pardon if you will. We need to be thankful and grateful for what we do have. Have you checked your gratitude list lately, perhaps it is time to renew it.
Remember God does not create garbage
