June 1 - Slowly, but surely, I'm becoming able to accept other people's faults as well as their virtues. The Gamblers Anonymous Program is teaching me to "always love the best in others - and never fear the worst." This is hardly an easy transition from my old way of thinking, but I'm beginning to see that all people - including me - are to some extent emotionally ill as well as frequently wrong.
Am I approaching true tolerance? Am I beginning to see what real love actually means?
Today I Pray - May God give me tolerance for any shortcomings or sick symptoms or insensitivities of others, so that I can love the qualities that are good in them. May God instruct me in the truest meaning of love - which must also include patience. May I not overlook the faults of those I love, but may I try to understand them.
Today I Will Remember - Love is understanding.
