A TURNING POINT, p.301
A great turning point in our lives came when we sought for humility as something we really wanted, rather than as something we must have.
12 & 12, p.75
2️⃣A.A. Thought For The Day
We in Alcoholics Anonymous do not try to chart the path for the human soul or try to lay out a blueprint of the working of faith, as one might plan a charity drive. We do tell the newcomer that we have renewed our faith in a Higher Power. In the telling, our faith is further renewed. We believe that faith is always close at hand, waiting for those who will listen to the heartbeat of the spirit. We believe there is a force for good in the universe and that if we link up with this force, we are carried onward to a new life. Am I in this stream of goodness?
3️⃣Prayer For The Day
I pray that I may rely on God as I go through this day. I pray that I may feel deeply secure, no matter what happens to me.
4️⃣Keep It Simple
If you would be loved, love and be lovable.
-Benjamin Franklin
We all want to be loved. and no matter how much we’re loved, we always want more.
How can we be lovable? What does the mean? Should we try to be perfect? Should we act cute and helpless? No, being lovable means that we act ourselves. We let others get to know us. When others love us, we enjoy it. We tell them. We let them know that their love isn’t wasted on us, that it’s important to us. We are lovable, and we are loved!
