AA Thought for the Day

December 26, 2005

Belief

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.

Thought to Ponder....

Hold your face up to the Light,
even though for the moment you do not see.
