DAILY REFLECTION – THE GOD IDEA
15 March 2024
THE GOD IDEA
When we saw others solve their problems by a simple reliance upon the Spirit of the Universe, we had to stop doubting the power of God. Our ideas did not work. But the God idea did.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 52
Like a blind man gradually being restored to sight, I slowly groped my way to the Third Step. Having realized that only a Power greater than myself could rescue me from the hopeless abyss I was in, I knew that this was a Power that I had to grasp, and that it would be my anchor in the midst of a sea of woes. Even though my faith at that time was mi- nuscule, it was big enough to make me see that it was time for me to discard my reliance on my prideful ego and replace it with the steadying strength that could only come
from a Power far greater than myself.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
“Ask Him in your morning meditation what you can do each day for the man who is still sick. The answers will come if your own house is in order.”
Pg 164
