Did you know God promised Jesus way back in Genesis 3:15? Right after Adam and Eve messed up, God was already planning our redemption! The offspring who would crush the serpent's head - that's Jesus! God had our victory planned from the very beginning.

Recovery isn’t a race! It’s a lifelong journey with God. Even if you’re still working through the early steps, you can keep growing through prayer and meditation. The goal is to make this way of living part of who we are.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” – Colossians 3:16
