Six: my ‘Pay Forward’ gift is Spiritual. ‘What we really have is a daily
reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition’ (Alcoholics Anonymous, page 85). This
maintenance involves changing our choices, actions, and character to conform to
Spiritual standards, in other words to ‘practise these principles in all our
affairs’. Alcoholics Anonymous has given us the tools we need to live a
Spiritual way of life, to do and to be our Father’s Love and Will. It is an
overstatement to say ‘practice makes perfect’, but to seek through prayer and
meditation daily to improve our conscious contact with our Father is a very
good idea. Let us ‘pay forward’ by practising the Spiritual Principles we
already have, encouraging others by our example. The daily living of Spiritual
Principles develops our Spiritual Condition, affecting our whole be-ing. There
is nothing like a peaceful, compassionate, love-filled heart and mind to awaken
others. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
