✝️ The Blessings of The Bride's Return
"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights..." – James 1:17

​As we walk through the Twelve Steps in the light of Scripture and surrender to Jesus Christ, we experience deep healing and transformation. God, in His grace, gives us unexpected blessings—far greater than anything we could have imagined or asked for.

  • We came to know true intimacy—first with Jesus Christ, then with ourselves through His love, and finally with others in healthy, God-honoring relationships.
    “We love because He first loved us.” – 1 John 4:19
  • In our marriages and relationships, God redeemed our view of sexuality, restoring it as a sacred and joyful expression of love within His design.
    “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure...” – Hebrews 13:4
  • In our interactions with others, we laid down selfish ambition, no longer driven by power, prestige, or control, but by humility and Christlike love.
    “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.” – Philippians 2:3
  • We no longer pursued careers solely for financial gain, but sought work that aligned with our God-given purpose, bringing both provision and fulfillment.
    “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” – Proverbs 16:3
  • Our past pain became part of our testimony. God used our wounds to minister healing to others, just as He had healed us.
    “He comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort others.” – 2 Corinthians 1:4
  • We found strength and joy in helping others find freedom, affirming our own recovery as we walked with others toward Christ.
    “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” – Galatians 6:2
  • We discovered that God’s love was not just something we received, but something that now flowed through us—healing, restoring, and pointing others to Jesus.
    “Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” – John 7:38
