JUST FOR TODAY! -- Equals

From "Getting Active:"

"In AA, no one is 'above' or 'below' anyone else.  There are no classes or strata or hierarchies among the members.  There are no formal officers with any governing power or authority whatsoever.  AA is not an organization in the usual sense of that word.  Instead, it is a fellowship of equals.  Everybody calls everybody else by first name.  AA's take turns doing the services needed for group meetings and other functions."

c. 1998, Living Sober, page 15

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

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

The thing that amazed me when I walked into AA was the people I saw.  I felt so low – so inadequate and so wretched, that I though only the scum of the earth would have my problems.  I looked around and saw people I knew from television, radio, some very famous people and in that AA group, we were all ordinary people with the same struggles and the same desire to get sober. 

That is how God sees all of us.  The things on this earth do not matter – what matters is our heart – our heart that is turned to God – to live in His will, by His power and His precepts.  Calling Him Lord, makes all of us equal, adopted children into the kingdom of God recovering together, sharing the load, sharing the truth and the good news that recovery through Christ is possible.

“If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,  Then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.  Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.” -- Philippians 2:1-3

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
