JUST FOR TODAY! – Step Twelve -- Demonstrations

STEP TWELVE  Is about ministry

Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we try to carry the message of Christ’s grace and restoration power to others and to practice these principles in every aspect of our lives.

“Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently.  But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.” --Galatians 6:1

"Our basic troubles are the same as everyone else's, but when an honest effort is made 'to practice these principles in all our affairs,' well-grounded AA's seem to have the ability, by God's grace, to take these troubles in stride and turn them into demonstrations of faith.  We have seen AA's suffer lingering and fatal illness with little complaint, and often in good cheer.  We have sometimes seen families broken apart by misunderstanding, tensions, or actual infidelity, who are reunited by the AA way of life."

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

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

The emotions and troubles will always be with us.  What is important is how we process them.  When we can look at things through God’s perspective and process our troubles with faith and peace, yes sometimes even good cheer – the message is proclaimed to all those that are near us. 

During this time of the year – we reflect on the miracles of Life itself.  At Christmas we are joyful – because in remembrance Emmanuel is born - God With Us – Jesus.  At the same time, we have Chanukah to remind us of the miracle of the one day’s worth of oil that lasted 8 days until more oil was consecrated and faith was restored in God. 

Yes no matter the problem, God who came to us – is with us and has provided us with the tools to live each day, one day at a time – sober.  Our cups are overflowing with gratitude, our duty to tell the world.  A phrase that is proclaimed on many cards at this time of the year, we leave you with “WISE PERSONS STILL SEEK HIM!”

“But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.  For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.” -- II Corinthians 13-15

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
