I am an instrument.

Humbly asked him to remove our shortcomings.

Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions,

Page 70.

Daily Reflection The subject of humility is a difficult one.

Humility is not thinking less of myself than I ought to.

It is acknowledging that I do certain things well.

It is accepting a compliment graciously.

God can only do for me what he can do through me.

Humility is the result of knowing that God is the doer,

Not me.

In the light of this awareness,

How can I take pride in my accomplishments?

I am an instrument,

And any work I seem to be doing is being done by God through me.

I ask God on a daily basis to remove my shortcomings,

In order that I may be freely go about.

I am an instrument,

And any work I seem to be doing is being done by God through me.
