“You’re Just Like Your Father” “Pay Forward” #138

I Greet The Indwelling Inheritance.

Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – “You’re Just Like Your Father.” 

Father, we are as You created us, Your children, in Your image and Likeness.  He created each of us with a purpose, and we have to have others to share that purpose with.  Sharing is a common form of love.  That was not an easy thing for me to do.  One simple way to fulfill this need I’ve learned in A.A.’s, service.  When we say we love our Father do we love only that part we can understand and agree with?  How can we not love that which He created?  When I say I am a loving brother to all, is it just words?  I was told that I should love our Father first, then others as if they are myself, even my enemies.  A.A. has given me the way to do that through its many opportunities for service.  To practice A.A. spiritual principles in all my affairs take on a much deeper meaning, when I realized giving of myself is best for me.  To do this, I must surrender my limited personal vision at each beginning by re-centering my focus on our Father’s Love and Will.  I am building a habit that enables me to re-center my focus on my Source; I only need to say, “our Father.”  In that beginning moment, I am experiencing that mysterious union, if I can get out of the way for that instant.  Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
