Expressing love - Cyber Recovery Social Network Forums

As we recover, we come to realize the presence of a Higher Power in our lives. Eventually we realize how much progress in recovery comes through our Higher Power. We realize that we are loved.

Being loved, we can love others, but we cannot love mankind until we love our God. And we cannot love our God until we love each other (And we cannot love each other until we love ourselves.)

When we practice loving our fellows (in thought, word, and deed), we feel the presence of our Higher Power and feel that we, too are loved.

Do I express my love of others?

Higher Power, help me recognize your presence and power in my life. Help me love others as I am loved.
