God among us...

I sat in a meeting tonight with lots of newcomers.  The topic was from page 24 and 25.  You know first the bad news and then the good news.

I watched the eyes of those people some glazed over yet a spark of hope in some of them.

This is the Power of God as I know it.  We don't save or harm these people.  We create an environment of love and tolerance.  We share the clear message of Hope from the book and then God shows up and takes care of the rest. 

A few people left our meeting with sponsors tonight and/or phone numbers.  All that wanted one left with a book.  Some will come back, some will do the work and ALL of them that do it will have a spiritual awakening, recover and have the Power to help others.

This is how God operates in and among us.  This is our experience.  This is what life is about. This my friends, is how we roll...

If you are not experiencing this then please, get that book in your hand and in your heart.  Take the actions.

"Thus we grow. And so can you, though you be but one man with this book in your hand. We believe and hope it contains all you need to begin.  We now what you are thinking. You are saying to yourself: "I'm jittery and alone I just couldn't do that." But you can. You forget that you have just now tapped a source of power much greater than yourself. To duplicate, with such backing what we have accomplished is only a matter of willingness, patience and labor." (page 163 AA big book)
