The birth of faith
For me, the key that frees me from fear is faith, a faith that, despite all appearances, leads me to believe I saw a world that makes sense.
For me, it means: to believe in a Creator who is all power, all justice and all love a God who has a plan to me, meaning, and that I intended to grow, so if small or if it is flawed, according to His image His imitation. Before you have faith, I lived like a stranger in a world that too often seemed hostile and cruel. There is no inner peace was possible for me.

When the alcohol made me fall on my knees, I was led to ask for the gift of faith. And everything had changed. I'll never know my former desolation, despite my pain and my problems. I lived a universe illuminated by the love of God. I was not alone.
