JUST FOR TODAY! -- Responsible

From "My Name Is Michael...:"

"Day by day, one day at a time, I have kept away from that first drink.  Recovery Journey has become my way of life.  I realize that, paradoxically, I keep my spiritual sobriety by giving it away.  I am responsible whenever and wherever a hand reaches out for help.  What freely I received, freely I must give."

c. 1976, Do you think you're different? (AA Pamphlet P-13), page 21

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

**********************************

Responsible – something as an active addict we had difficulty being.  Once we are sober and walking God’s will and doing the 12-steps, we have a duty to bring this truth to other.  We are to tell others what worked for us  - we are to tell others about Jesus -- we are to tell the world.

Many temporal (earthly) benefits come from this freely giving of truth, it keeps us away from “using,” it keeps us in communication with God and it helps us to remember how we got to this point  in the first place.  The earthly benefits keeps us sober and it trains us how to live, with the hope of our eternal future; but the most important benefit is the “out of this world” benefit -- eternal life, in the Kingdom of God. 

“This is love for God: to obey his commands.  And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world.  This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.  Who is it that overcomes the world?  Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.” -- 1 John 5:3-5

“Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes.  They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy.  He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white.  I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.  He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” -- Revelation 3:4-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.

Proverbs 3, 5-6
