April 13 -- Reflection of the Day: Any number of compulsive gamblers
are bedeviled by the conviction that if they ever go near the Gamblers
Anonymous Program--whether by attending meetings or talking one-to-one
with a member--they'll be pressured to conform to some particular brand
of faith or religion. They don't realize that faith is never an
imperative for membership in the Program; that freedom from gambling can
be achieved with a an easily acceptable minimum of it; and that our
concepts of a Higher Power and God--as we understand him--afford
everyone a nearly unlimited choice of spiritual belief and action.
Am I receiving strength by sharing with newcomers?
Today
I Pray: May I never frighten newcomers or keep away those who are
considering coming to GA by imposing on them my particular, personal
ideas about a Higher Power. May each discover his or her own spiritual
identity. May all find within themselves a link with some great
universal Being or Spirit whose power is greater than theirs
individually. May I grow, both in tolerance and in spirituality, every
day.
Today I Will Remember: I will reach, not preach.
