AA Thought for the Day
October 31, 2006
Problem-solving
What God wants me to do is rarely what I want to do.
For instance, if I want to avoid or leave,
God wants me to stay and handle.
If I want to be understood or accepted by others,
God wants me to try to understand
or accept others a bit more.
If I want to forget, God wants me to forgive.
If I want to point the finger of blame at someone else,
God wants me to see my part in creating the disaster.
If I want to dislike someone because of a
grating character defect he or she has,
God wants me to see the same defect in myself.
Thought to Ponder....
God's delays are not God's denials.
