Loving Truth
Since it is truth that sets us free-free from our addiction and free from crippling fear-we come to love this truth, even when it hurts. It was mainly our fear that kept us from recognizing the truth about ourselves. We needed help and supoport from a Higher Power before we could face reality. Now that we are sustained by the OA program, we can devote our time and evergy to striving for truth in all that we think, say, and do.
Our devotion to truth may bring us into conflict with those around us. What we need to remember is that we are not responsible for convincing anyone else of what we believe to be true. We are honest about where we are, but we do not expect or demand agreement from anyone else. Since each of us has a different perspective, we can only know the truth as we each understand it. Loving truth means that we acknowledge it to be too big for any one of us to grasp completely.
Increase my devotion to Your truth.
