KEEP SEARCHING

"We feel we are on the Broad Highway, walking hand in hand with the Spirit of the Universe." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 75

"Search for the Lord and for his strength, and keep on searching.” 1 Chronicles 16:11

For what it's worth: Alcoholism, self-will, and resentment caused far more spiritual sickness than I realized. When I finally arrived at Alcoholics Anonymous, I was searching for relief only, certainly not the Lord. Obviously, that did not stop Him from showing Himself through the people of Alcoholics Anonymous. Thanks to following them, doing what they did to get the spiritually they had. I have experienced the goodness and joy of “walking hand in hand with the Spirit of the Universe”, and I want more, so I “keep on searching”. The spiritual highway is, indeed, broad, and I try to broaden my search. But, on the days I am spiritually weak, I need to watch for complacency, and even down right resistance. I question my efforts in my daily inventory, and talk with my Heavenly Father about necessary improvements.

God bless you.
