~SPIRITUAL~ A DAY AT A TIME
03/11 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Since I came to The Program, I've begun to recognize my previous inability to form a true partnership with another person. It seems that my egomania created two disastrous pitfalls. Either I insisted upon dominating the people I knew, or I depended on them far too much. My friends in The Program have taught me that my dependence meant demand -- a demand for the possession and control of the people and the conditions surrounding me. DO I STILL TRY TO FIND EMOTIONAL SECURITY EITHER BY DOMINATING OR BEING DEPENDENT ON OTHERS?
TODAY I PRAY
May I turn first to God to satisfy my love-hunger, knowing that all He asks from me is my faith in Him. May I no longer cast emotional nets over those I love, either by dominating them or being excessively dependent upon them -- which is just another form of domination. May I give others the room they need to be themselves. May God show me the way to mature human relationships.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
To have faith in His love.
... I'm currently being taught this lesson as I type!
most difficult to loose someone you care for because you are too clingy.. smothering another person ! Even when you know better as you're doing it.. but can't help yourself. *sigh*I must remember.. "to have faith in His love!! "
