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. Big Book pg. 68 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. Big Book pg. 28 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. Bill W. April 1961 A.A. Grapevine Grandfather is listening, he is the center of all
things.
