Today's Gift 12/13

Dare to be empty.
Dare to let go.
Dare to believe.
--Elisabeth L.


Not many of us have received a direct, visual experience of God. Most of us only sense a Presence, or perhaps see the evidence of God's help. It takes profound faith to live moment by moment in the knowledge that God is always here.

The founders of AA understood how difficult it is to believe. The tools of this program can help us with our struggle. In using them, we let God guide us, protect us, comfort us, and take charge of everyone else too. Asking sponsors for examples of how they have let go will help us see our opportunities more clearly. Coupling their suggestions and experiences with practice at using the Steps and slogans will strengthen our willingness to turn to God for everything.

I will be able to let God take charge if I rely on the example and experience of the friends I know I can trust. Today can be easy.
