Step 3 Is All You Need (AA)

If people truly understood what step three from alcoholic anonymous entail, and truly practice it, that's the only thing needed to transform their lives. That step states:

Step 3: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

The challenge with that sentence is the line "...as we understand Him."

The reason being is, if I understand God as a dictator, or a vengeful God, my surrender to "him" will be limited to my idea of what God is. If this idea is fearful, my surrendering would fit within the constrains of my religious practice.

But if I understand that I don't know anything about what God is, but I am willing to surrender my personal will to That, which I don't know anything about, just like a child who instead of thinking that he/she knows something, understand that he/she knows nothing, then I am more open to truly experience an inner transformation without the limiting beliefs and ideas I carry within from anything I have been taught by others, and even myself.
