Joy Comes to an Open Heart

An Open Heart

I had nothing to do with this gift coming to me, so my gratitude is beyond description. It did not take me back to the person I was before drinking or in my active Sunday-school days. It gave me a new life -- rather, life itself. . .

It must have been spiritual; it was neither intellectual nor physical, that's for sure. I believe it was God as I understand Him, working through the love and understanding available in AA.

May I keep my heart open. The joy which can come to an open heart is unlimited.

c. 1973 AAWS, Came To Believe. . ., p. 31
