I must live in the world and yet live apart with God. I can go forth from my secret times of communion with God to the work of the world. To get the spiritual strength I need, my inner life must be lived apart from the world. I must wear the world as a loose garment. Nothing in the world should seriously upset me, as long as my inner life is lived with God. All successful living arises from this inner life. ~Twenty-Four Hours a Day
Today I am grateful...
Today I am grateful...
- that patience in the creative process is rewarded
- to be one link, in the long chain of recovery
- that I will strive for an open mind and an open heart today
- that my Higher Power has no interest in kicking your Higher Power's ass
- that I can wish you a Happy Friday!
My spiritual awakening was electrically sudden and absolutely convincing. At once I became a part--if only a tiny part--of a cosmos that was ruled by justice and love in the person of God. No matter what had been the consequences of my own willfulness and ignorance, or those of my fellow travelers on earth, this was still the truth. Such was the new and positive assurance, and this has never left me. ~As Bill Sees It
