It Takes Hard Work


No matter who you are, it all comes down to doing the work. Tom Landry was a famous professional football coach for the Dallas Cowboys. During his tenure, his teams made it to multiple playoff and championship games. While he made everything look easy on the outside—always maintaining a calm demeanor—he had a saying about leading his players. “Leadership is getting someone to do what they don't want to do, to achieve what they want to achieve.” He knew his players had to show up at practice and do the work if they wanted to win. The same is true with recovery. It’s hard work and the end result is well worth it. Unfortunately, most people find it easier to stay hidden in a sinful lifestyle, than to be honest with themselves. It takes great courage for you to first admit there is a problem, and then to commit to doing something about it. You won’t regret it. God will honor your hard work.
