OUR ONLY NEED IS LOVE...TO GIVE

As we seek spiritual growth, we grow spiritually...whether or not we fully realize it. It usually takes some personal ego-defier for us to awaken to our spiritual answers already held within. Using them, then, is the Whoa, Nellie! Also known as, getting over our own self.

This may well be the paradox...our need is seldom what we want. Our need (ego deflation in depth) is God's invitation. It's just that our want is in gold and glory, and our need is in puce and brown. 

Ah, but this need is where self-will proves to be a friend...we must try with a will or fall by the wayside. 

Ego will ever push for payback, and, since ego's voice is louder than God's, it takes real effort (not to forget, a little help from our friends) to recall that to follow the dictates of the ego is to remain enslaved.

I'm a believer that we cannot "ask for" without already having: There are three things I seek for my attack (fear) thoughts in order to feel love instead of fear...that God clarify, purify, gratify, howsomever he so chooses. Then I start doing that for which I've asked...and receive the dreaded gift of patience. 

The Father knows our needs...he also has a wicked sense of humor.

Thank you.
