JUST FOR TODAY! -- Pathway

From "The Missing Link:"

"Following this spiritual path made a major difference in my life.  It seemed to fill that lonely hole that I used to fill with alcohol.  My self-esteem improved dramatically, and I knew happiness and serenity as I had never known it before.  I started to see the beauty and usefulness in my own existence, and tried to express my gratitude through helping others in whatever ways I could."

c. 2001, Alcoholics Anonymous, pages 287-288

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

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

We are all born with that “God” spot.  We spend our lifetimes trying to fill that spot with every drug/alcohol toy, etc that we can.  Nothing works until we fill it with Jesus.  Then we begin to feel the dramatic change in our lives.  After we grow and depend on Him more and seek to see if we are working in His will for our lives, we begin to experience something called happiness and then we are at peace.  The outflow of all that goodness is gratitude and then we take it and turn it towards helping others see the light.  That is our path

of recovery.

I hold fast to your statutes, O LORD;
do not let me be put to shame.

I run in the path of your commands,
for you have set my heart free.

Teach me, O LORD, to follow your decrees;
then I will keep them to the end. -- Psalm 119:31-33

STEP THREE: Involves a decision to let GOD be in charge of My Life.

I make a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of GOD through Jesus Christ

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of GOD’s  mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to GOD - which is your spiritual worship." -- Romans 12:1

Promise: We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.

Third Step Prayer~ (Page 63 - A. A. Big Book)

God, I offer myself to Thee

To build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt.

Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will.

Take away my difficulties,

that victory over them may bear

witness to those I would help of Thy Power,

Thy Love and

Thy Way of life,

May I do Thy will always!

Prayer of commitment to GOD:

Dear Jesus,

Thank YOU for making me and loving me,

even when I ignored you and gone my own way. 

I realize I need You in my life

and I’m sorry for my past behavior. 

I ask You to forgive me. 

As much as I know how, I want to follow You from now on.

Please come into my life and

make me a new person inside. 

I accept Your gift of salvation. 

Please help me to grow now as a Christian.

Amen.
