If we get up in a meeting and tell something about ourselves in order to help the other person, we feel a whole lot better. It's the old law of the more you give the more you get. Witnessing and confession are part of keeping sober. You never know when you may help somebody. Helping others is one of the best ways to stay sober yourself. And the satisfaction you get out of helping a fellow human being is one of the finest experiences you can have. Am I helping others?
Meditation for the Day ~
Without God, no real victory is ever won. All the military victories of great conquerors have passed into history. The world might be better off without military conqerors. The real victories are won in the spiritual realm. "He that conquers himself is greater than he who conqers a city." The real victories are the victories over sin and temptation, leading to a victorious and abundant life. Therefore, keep a brave and trusting heart. Face all your difficulties in the spirit of conquest. Remember that where God is, there is the true victory.
Prayer for the Day ~
I pray that the forces of evil in my life will flee before God's presence. I pray that with God I will win the real victory over myself.
