“This land of ours cannot be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in.”
“This land of ours cannot be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in.”

My sobriety has given me a comprehensive view of life and my neighbor. Today I believe that we are all connected and if I hurt or am hurt, then everybody at some level is affected. Because we are all children of God, it follows that we are all one big family — speaking different languages, having different customs, revealing different physical characteristics and complexions, requiring different satisfaction (both sexual and emotional), but we are still one big family under God.
This means I have a responsibility to all in the family and I can best exercise that responsibility by having a healthy respect for myself. I should treat people as I would want to be treated, allowing them the freedom and love I require in my life. I am the key to the world’s needs.
Lord, let me find my neighbor in myself.
