AA Thought for the Day
March 6, 2007
A Higher Power
Long before nagging and pressures from others
concerning my excessive use of alcohol
made any impression on me, the nagging voice of conscience
-- my own inner voice of truth and right --
apprised me of the irrevocable fact
that I had lost control of alcohol, that I was powerless.
I know now that the inner voice
was God, as I understand Him, speaking.
For, as I had been taught from earliest memory
and as AA has emphasized,
God -- or good -- emanates from within each of us.
Thought to Ponder....
We will suffer a great poverty
until we know that God lives in us
and we can see Him there.
