~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME

REFLECTION FOR THE DAY

Every person, no matter what his or her balance for good or evil, is a part of the Divine economy.  We are all children of God, and it is unlikely tht He intends to favor one over another.  So it is necessary for all of us to accept whatever positive gifts we receive with a deep humility, always bearing in mind that our negative attitudes were first necessary as a means of reducing us to such a state that we would be ready for a gift of the positive ones via the conversion experience.  DO I ACCEPT THE FACT THAT MY ADDICTION AND THE BOTTOM I FINALLY REACHED ARE THE BEDROCK UPON WHICH MY SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION RESTS?

TODAY I PRAY

May I know that from the first moment I admitted my powerlessness, God-given power was mine.  Every step taken from that moment of defeat has been a step in the right direction.  The First Step is a giant step.  Though it is often taken in despair, may I realize that I must be drained of hope before I can be refilled with fresh hope, sapped of wilfulness before I can feel the will of God.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER

Power through powerlessness.
