AA Thought for the Day

Affirmative Action
Like all the remaining Steps, Step Three calls for affirmative action,
for it is only by action that we can cut away the self-will which has
always blocked the entry of God—or, if you like, a Higher Power—into
our lives. Faith, to be sure, is necessary, but faith alone can avail
nothing. We can have faith, yet keep God out of our lives.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Three) p. 34

Grateful to serve,
