On
the foundation of sobriety, we can build a life of honesty,
unselfishness, faith in God, and love of our fellow human beings. We’ll
never fully reach these goals, but the adventure of building that kind
of a life is so much better than the merry-go-round of our old drinking
life that there’s no comparison. We come into AA to get sober, but if we
stay long enough we learn a new way of living. We become honest with
ourselves and with other people. We learn to think more about others and
less about ourselves. And we learn to rely on the constant help of a
Higher Power. Am I living the way of honesty, unselfishness, and faith?
Meditation for the Day
I
believe that God had already seen my heart’s needs before I cried to
Him, before I was conscious of those needs myself. I believe that God
was already preparing the answer. God does not have to be petitioned
with sighs and tears and much speaking. He has already anticipated my
every want and need. I will try to see this, as His plans unfold in my
life.
Prayer for the Day
I
pray that I may understand my real wants and needs. I pray that my
understanding of those needs and wants may help to bring the answer to
them.
