By all accounts, Emily Dickinson was a recluse. The famous poet rarely left home. She maintained her few friendships by writing cards back and forth. Still, she found a way to make a difference.
Emily Dickinson left her mark – leaving 1,800 poems behind. Among these poems you will find one of the most powerful lines ever penned.
“Dwell in possibility.”
Where recovery and faith meet, there is possibility.
“And Jesus said to him, ‘All things are possible to him who believes’” (Mark 9:23).
If “all things are possible,” that means it is possible for you to stay sober for the next 24 hours. And the next 24 years. It is possible to find lasting freedom, enduring recovery, and to help others find recovery, as well.
But there’s a catch. This is a promise only for the person “who believes.” You can achieve your highest goals in recovery, but only if you are connected to your Higher Power.
Recovery Step: Place your faith in Christ. After that, the possibilities are limitless.
