my daily reflections…

it wasnt so much that i didnt have a belief in God, it was just as the readin suggests, i had turned my back to Him and took control of the way i was livin my life. yes, i fell victim to anger, and false pride then ruled my life. of course, pride, bein 1 of the 7 deadly sins, took me to places i didnt have to go. today i am more aware of when i become filled with too much pride. when i recognize it startin to consume my life i ask my HP to help me remove it so that humility can then take its place. i love this explanation of false pride. though i wouldnt have ever called myself religious, i do believe in God, and always knew the right way to go, just wouldnt do it. i ALWAYS placed my needs and wants above all else. i was a very selfish person and when someone might suggest such a behavior, i would give them a blank stare like i had no idea what they could be talkin about. i honestly thought i wasnt a selfish person, it wasnt til i was workin and livin the steps this epiphany hit, i had been a very indignant selfish person all of my life, ALWAYS placin my will in front of all else. this had always set me apart from ever receivin any of my HPs help or guidance. false pride, believin i was better than, had deprived me of the fruits of my own labors. today i understand and know where the good in my life comes from. today i understand what it means to be blessed. today i place my HPs will, as i perceive it to be, ahead of my own as best as i can. when i do this i can then give the benefits of love, forgiveness, peace, serenity, and humility so i can in return receive them. 1 day @ a time…
