There is one God
looking down on us all. We are children of the one God. God is listening to
me.
Geronimo Apache
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.

If
what we have learned and felt and seen means anything at all, it means that all
of us, whatever our race, creed, or color are the children of a living Creator
with whom we may form a relationship upon simple and understandable terms as
soon as we are willing and honest enough to try.

Faith
is more than our greatest gift; its sharing with others is our greatest
responsibility. May we of A.A. continually seek the wisdom and the willingness
by which we may well fulfill that immense trust the Giver of all perfect gifts
has placed in our hands.
