AA Thought for the Day

Defiance
"When we encountered A.A., the fallacy of our defiance
was revealed. At no time had we asked what God's will
was for us; instead we had been telling Him what it ought
to be. No man, we saw, could believe in God and defy
Him, too. Belief meant reliance, not defiance."
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Two) p. 31
Thought to Ponder
