Adding Christological content to this Step may make it more easily understood by some Christians but it may also make it less understandable to people who are just beginning the spiritual journey. Such language may also communicate that we need to have more faith than we actually need at this Step. We do well to remember that the Twelve Steps are a spiritual kindergarten - a beginning. Step Two honors the smallest baby step of faith. Experience in the program suggests that God is prepared to honor such faith.
Restoration is a powerful biblical metaphor for healing.
It may be the last thing we expect God to do at this stage of things. It is much more common at this stage of recovery to expect God to be angry, rejecting, hostile, abusive, judgmental, or shaming. Fortunately the Bible is very clear about the character of God. God loves us and longs to set us free from the things which have kept us in bondage. He brought them out of darkness and the deepest gloom and broke away their chains.
