Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
All the good that has ever been or will ever be has its beginnings in God.
— Daily Word, July 11, 1988
Our inspiration to do small kindnesses for friends, our desire to express love for those persons dear in our life, our inclination to offer a smile to a stranger — all are reminders that God is working in our life. Our willingness to let God’s will be felt by us and then expressed through us is the most complete contribution each of us can make to this spirit-filled world that is our home.
However, none of us is yet free from our ego that, at times, pushes us to act in self-centered, mean-spirited ways. When we aren’t thinking of God first, we often aren’t inclined toward expressing our better selves. Fortunately, our program helps us remember God throughout the day and, in turn, God gives us opportunities to exercise our willingness to be kind rather than mean and show we’re thinking of others’ needs before our own. With God’s help each of us will share in making this a better world for all.
I will do my part toward a better world today by thinking of God during each encounter I have with another person.
