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.

Twenty-Four Hours A Day
A.A. Thought For The Day
I have lost much of my inferiority complex. I was always trying to
escape from life. I did
not want to face reality. I was full of self-pity. I was constantly
sorry for myself. I tried to
avoid all responsibilities. I did not feel that I would handle the
responsibilities for my
family or my work. Owing to my inferiority complex, I was eager to be
free of all
responsibilities. I wanted to drift; I wanted to be "on the beach."
A.A. showed me how to
get over my feeling of inferiority. It made me want to accept
responsibility again. Have I
lost my inferiority complex?
Meditation For The Day
"One thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching
forth unto those
things that are before, I press onward toward the goal." We should
forget those things
which are behind us and press onward toward something better. We can
believe that God
has forgiven us for all our past sins, provided we are honestly trying
to live today the way
we believe He wants us to live. We can wipe clean the slate of the
past. We can start
today with a clean slate and go forward with confidence toward the goal
that has been set
before us.
Prayer For The Day
I pray that I may drop off the load of the past. I pray that I may
start today with a light
heart and a new confidence.
