My thought for today is Humility. I am always reminded of the saying that humility is not thinking less of myself; it is thinking of myself less. Humility is the focal point of Step Seven: "Humbly asled Him to remove our shortcomings." the step used to read "Humbly, on our knees. asked Him....." But we always tell new people it's God as you understand God and some people wouldn't appreciate being told to pray on their knees, so the changed the wording. The important fact is that we are praying, asking God to remove our emotional deformities, our shortcomings as they say. The step doesn't say humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings and they were removed. But, just as the reading earlier on suggests, we don't have to find God, we just have to look for Him. So, we don't strive to become perfect, we just strive for progress toward becoming better people.
