Thought for Today
This is the Step that separates the men from the boys. . . the difference between "the boys and the men" is the difference between striving for a self determined objective and for the perfect objective which is of God. . . It is suggested that we ought to become entirely willing to aim toward perfection. . . The moment we say, "No, never!" our minds close against the grace of God. . . This is the exact point at which we abandon limited objectives, and move toward God's will for us.
