SELF-SATISFACTION, THE BLOCK TO GOD

Blinding flash of the obvious: It is not fear that keeps us from being free, it is self-satisfaction.

Self-satisfaction with the hidey hole we have built, the safe room we have constructed, the shields we hold dear...never letting anyone or anything in, but, worse by far, never letting us out.

Old adage: We get in a rut, get comfortable, decorate our rut, hang curtains, get a pretty little throw rug, some pillows...why would we ever leave our rut?

Self-satisfaction is the ultimate block to still more spiritual growth...indeed, to God Itself.

Thank You.
