Demonstration
It is when I walk through overwhelming fear, tragedy, mayhem, and worst of all, newly unmasked emotions, that I come to see just how well this program works. If I am working it. Occurrences I once upon a time saw as a senseless barrage of Divine ill will directed towards me, is now a demonstration of Power. A demonstration of faith. A demonstration of trust. There is meaning behind it. Growth.
When I can see my problems in this light, in the moment, I have found peace with the world. And by extension peace within.
It is this clarity I pray for today.

Michaelg -
I have found in reading - specifically Oswald Chambers - that not everything we are part of is meant for us at all. This I find intriguing. Events happen in front of us which have nothing whatsoever to do with US!
Remarkably refreshing, for me......
Always appreciate your posts

Clarity is the gift that leads to transformation for me, and I for one need and desire to be transformed.
It has been through adversity that I have grown the most spiritually, have become the most open-minded and willing to see, change, explore.
The AA Program has taught me how to be an introspective truth seeker. I have the ability to live in the world with some peace today. Daily living - the hardest thing I have ever done.
AA Step and Tradition work, and many of the members I have developed relationships with - has taught me how to be faithful to a set of principles or a moral compass that I can abide by. It is for me.

But I would have to disagree in a certain sense. I believe that if I am seeing or experiencing something, it is absolutely meant to be for me. Otherwise, it would not be happening to/in front of me. But, you have me intrigued. Thanks.
