Daily Meditation by Marco Pardo
07/30/2010
Meditation for the Day
Whether you prefer to use “Higher Power,” “God,” or some other term, one fact remains the same: we are trying to make conscious contact with a spiritual entity that we can neither see nor touch. That human limitation leads us to seek out tangible ways of making contact with our Higher Power. If I cannot see or touch God, can I at least find something that I can see, touch or experience that lets me know that I’m in God’s presence? What a lot of us in this fellowship have discovered is what many spiritual teachers have said throughout the ages: your most powerful experience of God often comes when you are of service to those who suffer most. The truth of this teaching is revealed during a 12 Step call, or while visiting a person who just got into rehab, or while participating in prison panels, or while listening to a troubled newcomer. We can’t see God, but we can make contact with our God by simply trying to alleviate the suffering of another.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I will be open to any experience that can bring me into conscious contact with my Higher Power. I thank God for the times that I knew I was in God’s presence, particularly while being of service to another suffering addict.
