I had to show off and boast so that people would think I
amounted to something, when, of course, both they and I knew
that I really didn’t amount to anything. I didn’t fool anybody.
Although I’ve been sober for quite a while, the old habit of
building myself up is still with me. I still have a tendency to
think too well of myself and to pretend to be more than I really
am. Am I always in danger of becoming conceited just because
I’m sober?
Meditation For The Day
I cannot ascertain the spiritual with my intellect. I can only
do it by my own faith and spiritual faculties. I must think of
God more with my heart than with my head. I can breathe in God’s
very spirit in the life around me. I can keep my eyes turned
toward the good things in the world. I am shut up in a box of
space and time, but I can open a window in that box by faith.
I can empty my mind of all the limitations of material things.
I can sense the Eternal.
Prayer For The Day
I pray that whatever is good I may have. I pray that I may
leave to God the choice of what good will come to me.
