looking for God

Posted: Wed, Jul 7, 2004 04:48:22 AM

an interesting thought --
if i look for God in others i will more readily see God in myself.
i usually do not have any problem seeing evidence of God in othres it is myself that seems to be lacking
i feel that sonmetimes i am no more spiritual than the day i first came to the program
i am still riddled with fear, self-doubt and self-defeating attitudes
i still procrastinate and find things to do to fill that God shaped hole within
i also recognize these attitudes for what they are -- A LIE
i am better off today than i was yesterday, a year ago or when i walked in.
if i begin to believe the lies i tell myself, i will return to that miserable existence i used to be so fond of
so just for today i will seek the God in others, so i can better see the God in me
