Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.

~Alexander Smith

One reason our program has such power to change lives is that it is based on the principle of sharing between people with similar problems and experiences. We are able to help each other when nothing else seems to work because we can identify with one another. We recognize ourselves in each other, making it easier to love one another.

God made us all equal. It is hard for us to believe this until we see others who seem so different, but are really just like us. The knowledge that we are essentially alike—that God gave each of us the same feelings, the same inner needs—comforts us and gives us confidence. That’s why it’s important that we share ourselves by revealing our feelings.

I will share my feelings with others today and delight in the recognition it brings.

Today's reading is from the book In God's Care: Daily Meditations on Spirituality in Recovery*
