WORLD
“We are citizens of the world; and the tragedy of our time is that we do not know this.”
–Woodrow Wilson
In recovery I have learned to “go home” to who I am – and part of this
involves my understanding my place in this vast universe. I am a child
of God and my “family” is not just my immediate blood relatives, but
also the millions of other people that inhabit this planet.
God did not just make me. God does not just love me. God is
concerned for all His children. As an alcoholic I did not have this
attitude and I was always feeling lost and different. I became selfish
and narrow in my lifestyle. Other people were tolerated.
Today I have a “big” God and He has enabled me to grow not only in
my acceptance of self but also in my acceptance of others. Today I am
a citizen of the world and it feels good.
Lord, today I know what it is to belong to the human family. And with
this awareness comes responsibility.
