AA Thought for the Day

May 22, 2002

Perfection

Many of us exclaimed,
"What an order! I can't go through with it."
Do not be discouraged.
No one among us has been able to maintain anything
like perfect adherence to these principles.
We are not saints.
The point is, that we are willing to grow along spiritual lines.
The principles we have set down are guides to progress.
We claim spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection.

Thought to Ponder....

Give me the courage to be imperfect.
