I Greet The Indwelling Presence.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – Spiritual Re-Birth. All over the world two billion Christians are celebrating the Divine Mission of Jesus, the greatest Being ever, as far as I concern. All over the world millions will celebrate the awakening, the re-birthing of those newly transformed alcoholics and those using A.A.’s program for other addictions. We have been given this powerful program, based on the Spiritual principles given to us by the One who came into the world to show us how to do it. We freely give our A.A. program to anyone who chooses to use it. It is difficult to understand that it is ok for members of A.A. to use Christian Spiritual Principles, and yet, not give credit to Christianity or the Christian leaders who A.A. receive so much from. Bill Wilson, A.A.’s co-founder was asked why he didn’t give credit in the book Alcoholics Anonymous to them. He replied he did not want people to think our program was another branch of religion. Many alcoholics had been turned off by some unforgiving, judgmental people who called themselves Christians, but were not living it. We have some A.A. Pharisee and Scribes, much like my computer, having lots of rules and no mercy. By the grace of our loving Father I was awakened to the reality that there is only One life, that Life is perfect, that Life is our Father’s Life, my life and your life. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
