Ego - January 14

By ourselves, we can do nothing.

Let's celebrather than lament our need to ask the Holy Spirit for help. Relying on that source of power eases every encounter we'll have today. Of course, the ego wants to handle all situations alone. The ego cries for self-sufficiency; however, our greatest problems result from the ego's control. The ego is always out to protect itself at the expense of all else.

In time we will come to believe that the only thing we need to do, ever, is to be forgiving. We got our training for life from parents or friends who suffered from an overly active ego too. Letting go of our ego-driven responses may seem irresponsible. Giving only love to the people and the experiences we're having may feel different from how we interacted in the past. Letting the Holy Spirit take charge of our lives gives us peace and simplifies the activities of every day. We can stop manipulating and judging others if we rely on the Holy Spirit for all things.

Through the Holy Spirit all questions are answered today.
All plans are complete.
