BAG OF TOOLS:

Who would try to nail boards together without a hammer or

change a flat tire without a jack? To deny our need for tools
would be ridiculous, wouldn't it? Yet many of us have trouble
accepting that we need tools to repair our damaged
self-esteem.

Sheer force of will won't lift a car so that a bad tire can be
replaced and it won't lift a heavy burden from our spirits
either. Insight and knowledge of carpentry can't pound a nail
– nor can insight and knowledge, without the help of tools,
pound the dents out of our battered psyches.

It isn't weak or shameful to admit that a human finger isn't a
screwdriver and a human eye isn't a microscope. Why do we
resist the idea that spiritual work, like physical work, has its
own set of tools? Reading, sharing, praying, and attending
our support group's meetings – these are the tools that help
us do the job. They aren't optional niceties or crutches. If
we need to lay a new foundation, we need to dig a big hole.
And if we need to dig a hole, we'd better be willing to use
a shovel.

My willingness to use the tools determines the outcome of
the job.
