~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME
JULY 7 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
What wonderful things could happen in my life if I could get rid of my natural impulse to justify my actions. Is honesty so deeply repressed under layers of guilt that I can't release it to understand my motives? Being honest with ourselves isn't easy. It's difficult to search out why I had this or that impulse and, more importantly, why I acted upon it. Nothing makes us feel so vulnerable as to give up the crutch of The Alibi, yet my willingness to be vulnerable will go a long way toward helping me grow in The Program. AM I BECOMING MORE AWARE THAT SELF-DECEPTION MULTIPLIES MY PROBLEMS?
TODAY I PRAY
May God remove my urge to make excuses. Help me to face up to the realities that surface when I am honest with myself. Help me to know, as certainly as day follows sunrise, that my difficulties will be lessened if I can only trust His will.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I will be willing to do His will.
