We found that God does not make
too hard terms with those who seek Him. To us, the realm of spirit is
broad, roomy, all inclusive; never exclusive or forbidding to those who
earnestly seek. It is open, we believe, to all men.
When, therefore, we
speak to you of God, we mean your own conception of
God.

We finally saw that faith in
some kind of God was a part of our make-up, just as much as the feeling we
have for a friend. Sometimes we had to search fearlessly, but He was
there. He was as much a fact as we were. We found the Great Reality deep
down within us. In the last analysis it is only there that He may be
found. It was so with us.

A.A.W.S. Faith is more than our greatest
gift; its sharing with others is our greatest responsibility. May we of
A.A. continually seek the wisdom and the willingness by which we may well
fulfill that immense trust which the Giver of all perfect gifts has placed
in our hands.
