DAILY REFLECTION – AN INDIVIDUAL ADVENTURE

8 November 2024


AN INDIVIDUAL ADVENTURE
Meditation is something which can always be further developed. It has no boundaries, either of width or height. Aided by such instruction and example as we can find, it is essentially an individual adventure, something which each one of us works out in his own way.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 101
My spiritual growth is with God as I understand Him. With Him I find my true inner self. Daily meditation and prayer strengthen and renew my source of well-being. I receive then the openness to accept all that He has to offer. With God I have the reassurance that my journey will be as He wants for me, and for that I am grateful to have God in my life.


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Self reliance was good as far as it went, but it didn’t go far
enough. Some of us once had great self-confidence,
but it didn’t fully solve the fear problem, or any other.
When it made us cocky, it was worse.Pg 68
