DAILY REFLECTIONS for November 14th

INTUITION AND INSPIRATION

… we ask God for inspiration, and intuitive thought or a decision. We relax and take it easy. We don't struggle.
Alcoholics Anonymous, Page 86

I invest my time in what I truly love. Step Eleven is a discipline that allows me and my Higher Power to be together, reminding me that, with God's help, intuition and inspiration are possible. Practice of the Step brings on self-love. In a consistent attempt to improve my conscious contact with a Higher Power, I am subtly reminded of my unhealthy past, with its patterns of grandiose thinking and false feelings of omnipotence. When I ask for the power to carry out God's will for me, I am made aware of my powerlessness. Humility and a healthy self-love are compatible, a direct result of working Step Eleven.
