Saved From Alcohol Addiction- A Story of Surrender :: Penny Thorne's Story [Episode 373]

Penny Thorne, who shared at our community group in Raleigh, North Carolina, grew up with a strong foundation of faith but quietly believed the lie that she had to earn God's love by being good enough. That pressure followed her into adulthood, where she soon discovered alcohol helped to ease her anxiety of trying to be perfect. Over time, however, the alcohol began to take control. But God, in His kindness, had a plan for redemption.

Through the love of her daughter, time in Scripture, and stepping into community, Penny encountered the pursuing love of a Father who never let her go. Her story is a reminder that we don't have to strive for God's love; we're invited to receive it.

VERSE OF THE WEEK:

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. - 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK:

Have you ever fallen into a pattern of trying to earn God's love? Cease striving today and find rest and peace knowing you are enough.
