I greet The Indwelling Presence Doing The Works.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – The Faith That Works. This is the one of twelve fundamental faculties; symbolized long-ago, to develop the spiritual-consciousness. By raising our consciousness above any problem to our Creator will heal it or transform it into an asset, as He has done for my alcoholism. “Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees and rests on that alone; laughs at impossibilities, and says it shall be done” Charles Wesley. When someone came to our greatest spiritual leader for healing he said to them, “According to your faith, be it done unto you.” Faith is the quality of the mind that moves and molds’ ideas, and brings them to concrete expression. Every day that we stay sober or abstain from our problem our faith grows. Our confidence expands, and our faith becomes a spiritual attribute we call on more often. As we awaken we realize that the outer things we see and touch are made out the unseen. We begin to see with the eyes of faith, Reality instead of our little personal “reality.” Faith is the key that unlocks the doors to sobriety. Faith is the key that opens the door to the “secret place of the Most High” where no dis-ease can enter. Each time we practice A.A.’s Eleventh Step prayer, not only does it improve our conscious contact with our Higher Power, but causes our faith to grow. I remind myself; faith works through love, and our Father is Love. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
