Power

Lack of Power that is my dilemma. (AA Big Book Pg. 45) I found a Power greater than myself by which to live as a result of working the 12 steps of AA with a Sponsor. This Power enables me to live life free of the obsession to drink and drug. We have a tendency in AA nowadays to shy away from the most important fact about this Power. While all we need to establish contact is a willingness, let us not be shy about this matter. The only Power that can pull us back from the brink of destruction is God. It was impossible for any of us to fully define that Power, which is God (AA Big Book Pg. 46). When many hundreds of people are able to say that the consciousness of the Presence of God is today the most important fact of their lives, they present a powerful reason why one should have faith (AA Big Book Pg.51)

God has restored his sanity... He humbly offered himself to his Maker--Then he knew. Even so God has restored us all to our right minds... But He has come to all who have honestly sought Him. When we drew near to Him He disclosed himself to us. (AA Big Book Pg.57)

We shy away to keep from scaring away a newcomer? We aren't saving anyone anyway, God is. The Creator of the Universe. How will we scare them away with Truth. All we have to offer the newcomer is Love and Truth. And God furnishes those. It is time to stop being politically correct and return to the fundamentals that got Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob sober. The Power. And I ain't talking about the doorknob or the coffee cup. I am talking about the Living God that wants to rule in our hearts and bring peace and joy to our souls, if only we will let Him. He won't force it though, we have free will. Let us conform it to His and enjoy the fruits of the Spirit He wants to give us. Peace, Love, Power, Serenity, Freedom, Joy, the list goes on and on...
