AA Thought for the Day

A New Meaning

My intelligence, instead of drawing me further away
from spiritual faith, is bringing me closer to it.
I no longer react in quite the same way when my will
and desires are apparently frustrated.
The simple words "Thy Will Be Done"
and the simple ideas of honesty and helping others
are taking on a new meaning for me.
I should not be surprised to find myself
coming to the astounding conclusion that God,
whoever or whatever He may be,
is eminently more capable of running this universe
than I am.
At last, I believe I am on my way.

Thought to Ponder....

How we treat others
is a consequence of the depth of our own spirituality.
