~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME
03/30 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
"When I meditate upon such a vision," Bill W. continued, "I need not be dismayed because I shall never attain it, nor need I swell with presumption that one of these days its virtues shall all be mine. I only need to dwell on the vision itself, letting it grow and ever more fill my heart.... Then I get a sane and healthy idea of where I stand on the highway to humility. I see that my journey towards God has scarcely begun. As I thus get down to my right size and stature, my self-concern and importance become amusing." DO I TAKE MYSELF TOO SERIOUSLY?
TODAY I PRAY
May the grandiosity which is a symptom of my chemical addiction be brought back into proportion by the simply comparison of my powerlessness with the power of God. May I think of the meaning of Higher Power as it relates to my human frailty. May it bring my ego back down to scale and help me shed my defenses of pomp or bluster or secret ideas of self-importance.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
He is great. I am small.
