PRINCIPLES
“At the back of every noble life are the principles that have fashioned it.”
~ George Lorimer ~
God is found in principles—the suggested patterns of behavior that lead to happiness, freedom, and unity in the world. God is not just an intellectual philosophy or otherworldly entity; God is practical goodness that can be demonstrated and seen in my world.
Principles produce changes in my attitude and behavior and lead me to positive action. Principles must have a practical result. I often hear the phrase “Walk the talk,” meaning the principles I talk about in recovery should be evident in my daily life. Principles should also be seen in the small things: being courteous, smiling at a stranger, or offering a hug to a friend in pain. God is alive in the principles of life.
Help me practice the principles I believe.
