Twenty-Four Hours a Day

AA Thought for the Day
During our thoughts about the rewards that have come to us as a result of our new way of living, we find that we have new kinds of homes, new relationships with our husbands or wives and our children. Also peace, contentment, hope, faith, charity and new ambition. What are some of the things we have lost? Each one of us can answer this question in many ways. I have lost much of my fear. It used to control me; it was my master. It paralyzed my efforts. Fear always got me down. It made me an introvert, an ingrown person. When fear was replaced by faith, I got well.

Have I lost some of my fears?

Meditation for the Day
The world would sooner be brought close to God, His will would sooner be done on earth, if all who acknowledge Him gave themselves unreservedly to being used by Him. God can use every human being as a channel for divine love and power. What delays the bringing of the world closer to God is the backwardness of His followers. If each one lived each day for God and allowed God to work through Him, then the world would soon be drawn much closer to God, its Founder and Preserver.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may be used as a channel to express the Divine Love. I pray that I may so live as to bring God's spirit closer to the world.
