I greet The Indwelling Leader.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – Understanding Our Father’s Business. To be joyous, happy and free I must be about our Father’s Business, to do that, I need understanding, reminding myself daily who’s the Boss. I’ve craved for an understanding heart. I prayed to be led out of the darkness and the wilderness of the five-sense. I struggled with my spiritually bankrupted business partner; myself. I didn’t consciously have a relationship with the Boss until I came into Alcoholics Anonymous. I realize today that I was praying and seeking a way out without knowing or understanding Who to go to or where to go, yet my cry, within my not-knowing darkness was being heard by our merciful Father. Spiritual understanding is the ability of the mind to apprehend the power of our thoughts and actions. A.A. gave me the ability to clean the windows of my mind; I began to see a little more clearly; Who the Boss is. Divine discernment is an awakening in my opening heart, mind and soul. Spiritual understanding tells me to follow the sunflower; who keeps its face toward the sun. Let me keep turning toward our Father’s Divine Light, His Love and His Will, as we share our experience, strength and hope. My growing pains seem severe, but I am willing to keep on seeking the spiritual understanding I need to practice sharing our Father’s gifts; His attributes in the daily ebb and flow of life. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
