The more closely I have gotten in my relationship with God I see the distinctions I make between me and someone else are not as bold as I once thought they were.  Looking at others through the eyes of heart instead of just the eyes of my head provide an inkling of an idea of how God sees. If I truly believe God to be the Great Creator of all things, it includes other people whom I label as different.  My mind is ready to evaluate what I see based on only the physical but my heart space connected to my untouched wholeness recognizes the heart of another.  When I see with the eyes of my heart I realize the quality I label as other and perhaps find unlikable, is an element within me calling out to be loved.  It is as though the people who embody that quality show up and I am given a chance to make peace with and treat them with love.  By practicing it with others I can do so with myself.  I learned early on in the 12 step path  when I am bothered by something or someone, I am the one who is bothered.  No one other than myself is doing anything to me.  It was a completely revolutionary idea which awakened in my heart a need for greater connection to God who could show me how to see  with the compassion of a generous heart.  Each day on our date, God beckons me into my heart space and reminds me of the presence of other elements in me that belong there as well.
