Thought for the Day

It is a normal human desire and need to be loved and give love. This is a God given ‘asset’.

Add the family disease of alcoholism and that asset become a defective character manifestation.

All defects are assets gone awry.

So the desire for love is pumped up to a sick need to be worshipped and the principle of giving love is out the window as long as the asset of self-care is pumped up to self-obsession. My job is of course not to fix these problems but to be aware of them, share them with you and give them to God with humility.

When I take position of the defects, they become ‘mine’ and the re-moval become nigh impossible. When I see that they are ‘ours’, a common manifestation, the humility appears and God enters through the wound.

Contemplation for the Day

Does my desire to be loved far exceed it’s purpose?

Are these defects of character ‘mine’?

Prayer for the Day

Can you please show me  the truth about my desire (will) and help me to “love rather than be loved?
