"All of us begin to rethink what is good about ourselves - put the
past where it belongs - and get on with the possibilities of the
present!" Howard
Rainer Perhaps there is
a better way--we think so. For we are now on a different basis; the basis
of trusting and relying upon God. We trust infinite God rather than our
finite selves. We are in the world to play the role He assigns. Just to
the extent that we do as we think He would have us, and humbly rely on
Him, does He enable us to match calamity with serenity. We never apologize
to anyone for depending upon our Creator. We can laugh at those who think
spirituality the way of weakness. Paradoxically, it is the way of
strength. The verdict of the ages is that faith means courage. All men of
faith have courage. They trust their God. We never apologize for God.
Instead we let Him demonstrate, through us, what He can do. We ask Him to
remove our fear and direct our attention to what He would have us be. At
once, we commence to outgrow fear. Big Book pg.
