A hard lesson learning: Trying to be a good, true and loving person is just another self-determined objective. We can never achieve our goal to be a good, true and loving person simply because we keep it out in front of us as a goal.
We can always tell a self-determined objective from God's will...the word "trying" marches in front of the self one. God's will is...we do it. Self tries it on for size, alters it, makes it prettier, fancier, classier...no, not right, keep trying.
We can acknowledge until we come to believe, realize, that each of us is a good, true and loving person, a gift to us before conception, fully enclosed within us at birth, growing every minute we breathe.
It's our ego that is unaware of that and keeps trying to get more and better so it can show it off: Here's what a loving person looks like, as it elbows out others; i.e., God.
When we finally realize we are the loving person we seek to be, we be that. And fail. Repeatedly.
The great gettin' up morning is when we realize we fail only in our ego's eyes...God loves us exactly as we are...warts and wings together, all One.
Thank you.
