I am free and unlimited

Free
I am free and unlimited.

Some habits or beliefs may feel so deeply rooted, we believe they will forever constrict us. We might hear ourselves saying, “That’s just the way I am” or “That’s just the way life is.”

Yet we have the power to free ourselves of any habit or belief. We can embrace our divine power—the power of the Christ within. It is ours at all times. Within us, we have the power to change and be free.

The Christ Spirit is the spirit of freedom itself. Drawing on this power, I break free from whatever binds me. I claim my unlimited and unbound potential.

Attuned to Christ in me, my hope of glory, I pray, make a new choice, and move forward to claim my good.
Do not … consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth.—Isaiah 43:18-19

Daily Word

Realized that I did with the Bible, what many do with the Big Book.

In early recovery, I only used the New Testament, the Psalms and the Proverbs. I was of the thought that, the Old Testament was old news and didn't apply in today.

When I went to AA, I was told to read the Big Book from cover to cover, every page that had print on it.

So many times we take things out of context and apply them to our belief to affirm we are right, not looking at the whole picture, and we just pick and choose what feels good, without picking up the lesson and getting things that are meant to draw our attention and make us think.

It is surprising how many long-timers who have only done one Step 4 or none at all and have never done a 5th Step. They go from Step One to Step Twelve and don't realize they are carrying old news, because they haven't let go of the old to make room for healing, change, and are still acting out in their disease.
