March 30 -- Reflection of the Day: Absolute humility means freedom from
myself, freedom from the demands that my character defects place so
heavily upon me. Humility means the willingness to discover and carry
out the will of God. Although I do not presume to attain such a vision,
just keeping it in my heart helps me know where I stand on the road to
humility. I recognize that my journey toward God has barely begun. As I
shrink in self-importance, I may even find the humor in my former pomp
and ego-tripping.
Do I take myself too seriously?
Today I Pray: May the grandiosity that is a symptom of my addiction be
brought back into proportion by the simple comparison of my
powerlessness with the power of God. May I think of the meaning of
Higher Power as it relates to my human frality. May it bring my ego back
down to scale and help me shed my defenses of pomp or bluster or secret
ideas of self-importance.
Today I Will Remember: Humility is freedom.
