Grey Book Reflection
Coincidences are miracles in which God chooses to remain anonymous.
Gray Book, p. 151-152 (Chapter Ten, Lines 34-1)
Some say nothing happens in God's world by mistake. Some say everything happens for a reason.
These are all Positive ways at looking at the negatives in our Lives. As we Progress in our Recovery, we experience too many Coincidences happen in our Lives. We start seeing God's Will working in our Lives. As we stay clean and Live the Steps, events that can't be readily explained start to unfold in our Lives.
People start coming into our Lives, that probably we would have never met in our active addiction. Opportunities that never appeared before, seeming to fall on our laps, now that were clean. Sometimes people from our past, start to appear in Narcotics Anonymous, and we're there to welcome them. Our families begin to need and depend on us to be there in times of trouble.
Thank God we're clean and are able to be there for them. Coincidence? We think not, it's God's way of remaining Anonymous.
Even during difficult times in Recovery, or losses of Loved ones, or Friends, we are able to seek sanctuary in God's Presence. It's no Coincidence that we are clean in situations when we should be clean. Our continuing Process in Recovery is vital for God to keep working in our Lives. Our GPS or our G.
OD P. OSITIONING S. YSTEM has to be in effect for these socalled Coincidences to continue in our Lives.
We will position ourselves for the Fruits of the Program, and we will continue to Share these Fruits with everyone we come in contact with.
