TOPICS – July 22
1) Daily Reflections
“THE GOOD AND THE BAD”
“My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good
and bad.”
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 76
The joy of life is in the giving. Being freed of my shortcomings, that I
may more freely be of service, allows humility to grow in me. My
shortcomings can be humbly placed in God’s loving care and be
removed. The essence of Step Seven is humility, and what better
way to seek humility than by giving all of myself–good and bad–to
God, so that He may remove the bad and return to me the good.
2) Prayer For The Day
I pray that I may not limit myself by doubting. I pray that I may have
confidence that I can be effective for good.
3) “Selfishness – Self Centeredness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles!”
– Big Book Ch.5 – pg. 62; Tradition 2 quote
4) Worrying and fear are the opposite of love. Love yourself more than
you ever have. Love yourself enough to stop worrying. Love yourself
enough to give yourself the gift of peace.
–Melody Beattie
