Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Imagination has always had powers of resurrection that no science can match. — Ingrid Bengis

Our ability to create an image of ourselves — successfully handling a conflict with a friend or stranger; growing in confidence regarding our role as parent, worker, or friend; communicating frequently with our Higher Power — is a tool that can enhance our sense of wellbeing throughout every moment of the twenty-four hours that lie ahead.

How lucky we are to have the ability to think what we want to think and to visualize situations that will bring us pleasure. God is in control of the outcomes of our life, but we’re in control of our contributions toward those outcomes. And one way we contribute most productively is by thinking positively and imagining ourselves fulfilled and content through our acts of love toward others.

My Higher Power and I are in partnership in the outcomes of my life. I know how to fulfill my part, and I can trust God to fulfill God’s part.
