I don't remember how long ago it was that I had a dream of drinking.
I drank and began that liquid descent into the darkness. I felt an awful exhilaration.
I awoke and shuddered at the reality of my dream. I was in a sweat and panicky. Had I really drank? It seemed so vivid, so real.
The dream troubled me for many days and I wondered if I was unconsciously on the road to relapse.
I realize now that my dream of drinking was a dream of God's grace. I was powerless over my dream , but One who has all power had protected me and kept me in His care. I was safe.
What was impossible has been made possible by grace.
