Love

Higher Power, remind me that:
Love is patient;
Love is kind;
Love is not jealous; it does not put on airs; it is not snobbish.

Love is never rude; it is not self-seeking; it is not prone to anger; neither does it brood over injuries.

Love does not rejoice in what is wrong, but rejoices with the truth.

There is no limit to love's forbearance, its truth, its hope, its power to endure.

Thought for the Day

For awhile, we are going back to the literature, and pick out passages here and there, so that they may become fixed in our minds, a little at a time, day by day, as we go along. There is no substitute for reading the literature. It is our "bible." We should study it thoroughly and make it a part of ourselves. We should not try to change any of it. Within its covers is the full exposition of the program. There is no substitute for it. We should study it often. Have I studied the literature faithfully?

Meditation for the Day

All of life is a fluctuation between effort and rest. You need both every day. But effort is not truly effective until first you have had the proper preparation for it, by resting in a time of quiet meditation. This daily time of rest and meditation gives you the power necessary to make your best effort. There are days when you are called on for much effort and then comes a time when you need much rest. It is not good to rest too long and it is not good to carry on great effort too long without rest. The successful life is a proper balance between the two.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may be ready to make the proper effort. I pray that I may also recognize the need for relaxation.

I am not what I hope to be.
But still, I am not what I used to be.
And by the grace of God, I am what I am."
