I Greet The Indwelling Lover.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – Love. Alcoholics Anonymous when practiced whole-heartedly has much in common with unconditional love, which is spiritual in its nature. “A.A.’s Twelve Steps are a group of principles, spiritual in their nature, which, if practiced as a way of life…enable the sufferer to become happily and usefully whole” Twelve Steps And Twelve Traditions. “The only requirement …is a desire.” Neither requires formal introduction or education, has no entrance examination, no condition whatever. Neither love, nor A.A. calls for a laboratory, or special place or equipment, or professional training. A willingness to do what it takes will do as a beginning to be followed by a faithful daily practice. The love-conscious and spiritual development will follow, in its many forms. Where love is, our Father/Creator is, for He is Love. Love will heal us, guide us, enlighten us, will fulfill us, and transform us. Unconditional love is beyond personal love, friendship, or service; giving of ourselves, is self-love, it can include all expressions of love. We cannot earn this love, but we most likely want to try to, at least expand on it. There are no words that can fully describe pure unconditional love; words can only point toward it. “You’ll find, my friend, that what you love will take you places you never dreamed you’d go” Tony Kushner. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
