DO FOR HIM

“So the difference between "the boys and the men" is the difference between striving for a self-determined objective and for the perfect objective which is of God.” 12&12 p.68

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men…” Colossians 3:23

For what it's worth: For years self-satisfaction was my nature and the constant demand of my alcoholism. Therefore, change required much more than sobriety. Years of radical transformation were necessary. And I believe that could have been realized only in Alcoholics Anonymous under the direction of a merciful Higher Power. Now, after years of living the Twelve Steps and with the grace of God, every now and then I can actually disregard “self-determined” wishes and seek God’s will. I know I can never do for Him what He has done for me, but my Heavenly Father lets me know how much He appreciates even the simple, little things I do for Him. He is so generous!

God bless you!
