AA Thought for the Day:
Let us continue with Steps Four, Five, Six, Seven, and Ten. In taking a personal inventory of ourselves, we have to face facts as they really are. We have to stop running away. We must face reality. We must see ourselves as we really are. We must admit our faults openly and try to correct them. We must try to see where we have been dishonest, impure, selfish, and unloving. We do not do this once and forget it. We do it every day of our lives, as long as we live. We are never done with checking up on ourselves. Am I taking a daily inventory of myself?
Meditation for the Day:
In improving our personal lives, we have Unseen Help. We were not made so that we could see God. That would be too easy for us and there would be no merit in obeying Him. It takes an act of faith, a venture of belief, to realize the Unseen Power. Yet we have much evidence of God’s existence in the strength that many people have received from the act of faith, the venture of belief. We are in a box of space and time and we can see neither our soul nor God. God and the human spirit are both outside the limitations of space and time. Yet our Unseen Help is effective here and now. That has been proved in thousands of changed lives.
Prayer for the Day:
I pray that I may make the great venture of belief. I pray that my vision may not be blocked by intellectual pride.
