Step #12 – What Can I Do (part 4)
Manage episode 483430015 series 2925012
This is the last of our four-part series this 12.) I would like to talk about the phrase, practice these principles in all my affairs. This is certainly nothing new. I would almost say that, for me, this is an extension, or reiteration, of step number three.
For me, it seems to be like a person on television getting a total makeover. Going back to one of the references in the Oxford Group, which talk about consulting someone who is changed. The word changed seems to indicate that this person has decided to turn over their will and their life to God.
For me, this is a no-brainer. I am constantly (almost) aware of the direction my Spirit wants me to go. Sometimes I am talking in order to go my way because I have rationalized what the Spirit has said in order to satisfy my human needs. I know now that these are generally not important. I also know that if I stop myself from continuing on whatever tasks humanity has given me, I will certainly be able to discern what is that God, or my Spirit wants for me.
I realize now, that I must be constantly vigilant in order to receive the directions from my Spirit. It is sometimes difficult to strike out what I think is right for me to do, in favor of what I know the Spirit desires.
