A.A. Thought for the Day
I
had to show off and boast so that people would think I amounted to
something, when, of course, both they and I knew that I really didn't
amount to anything. I didn't fool anybody. Although I've been sober for
quite a while, the old habit of building my self up is still with me. I
still have a tendency to think too well of myself and to pretend to be
more than I really am. Am I always in danger of becoming conceited just
because I'm sober?
Meditation for the Day
I
cannot ascertain the spiritual with my intellect. I can only do it by
my own faith and spiritual faculties. I must think of God more with my
heart than with my head. I can breathe in God's very spirit in the life
around me. I can keep my eyes turned towards the good things in the
world. I am shut up in a box of space and time, but I can open a window
in that box by faith. I can empty my mind of all the limitations of
material things. I can sense the Eternal.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that whatever is good I may have. I pray that I may leave to God the choice of what good will come to me.
