AA Thought for the Day

September 14, 2003

Sunlight at Last

My friend suggested what then seemed a novel idea.
He said,
"Why don't you choose your own conception of God?"
That statement hit me hard.
It melted the icy intellectual mountain in whose shadow
I had lived and shivered many years.
I stood in the sunlight at last.
It was only a matter of being willing to believe
in a Power greater than myself.
Nothing more was required of me to make my beginning.

I saw that growth could start from that point.
Upon a foundation of complete willingness
I might build what I saw in my friend.
Would I have it? Of course I would!
