Today's Reading from Just For Today © NA World Services
October 21 God's will today
"This decision demands continued acceptance, ever-increasing faith, and
a daily commitment to recovery."
IP No. 14, One Addict's Experience…
----=----
Sometimes, we really live the Third Step-and it's great! We don't
regret the past, we aren't afraid of the future, and we're generally
pleased with the present. Sometimes, though, we lose our vision of
God's will in our life.
Many of us dream of erasing the mistakes of our past, but the past cannot
be erased. Many of us are grateful this is so, for our past experiences
have brought us to the recovery we enjoy today. By working the program,
we can learn to accept the past and reconcile ourselves with it by
amending our wrongs. Those same Twelve Steps can help eliminate our
worries over the future. When we practice NA principles on a daily basis
in all our affairs, we can leave the results up to our Higher Power.
It seems as though our members with the strongest faith are the ones who
are best able to live in the present moment. Enjoyment, appreciation, and
gratitude for the quality of our lives-these are the results of faith in
life itself. When we practice the principles of our program, today is the
only day we need.

Just for today: I will make the most of today, and trust that yesterday
and tomorrow are in God's care.
