Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Few people can be happy unless they hate some other person, nation or creed. — Bertrand Russell
In recovery we learn to give up hate. We must stand for justice, not for hate. We must learn to respect people. They, in turn, will respect us in most cases. We begin to see how important it is to give up hate—if we want others to care for us.
Hate is often one of our secrets. Hate is found deep in our hearts and minds. It eats at our souls. It hurts our spiritual growth. Sometimes people are public about their hate. There are even dangerous groups based on hate. But, the most dangerous hate is the private and unspoken.
Do I have public hates? Do I have secret hates?
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, search my heart and show me any hates I have. Help me rid myself of them.
Action for the Day
I’ll list any people, nations, or creeds I hate. I will put in work to remove these feelings of hate. I’ll pray for these people, nations, or creeds.
Hazelden Foundation
