AA Thought for the Day:
Step Four is “Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.” Step Five is “Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.” Step Six is “Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.” Step Seven is “Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.” Step Ten is “Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.” In taking a personal inventory, we have to be absolutely honest with ourselves and with other people. Have I taken an honest inventory of myself?
Meditation for the Day:
God is good. You can often tell whether or not a thing is of God. If it is of God, it must be good. Honesty, purity, unselfishness, and love are all good, unselfish helpfulness is good, and these things all lead to the abundant life. Leave in God’s hands the present and the future, knowing only that He is good. The hand that veils the future is the hand of God. He can bring order out of chaos, good out of evil, and peace out of turmoil. We can believe that everything really good comes from God and that He shares His goodness with us.
Prayer for the Day:
I pray that I may reach out for the good. I pray that I may try to choose the best in life.
