Thought For Today - 8/26/09












Walking in love can start off being very challenging. By this I mean for example, sometimes we judge people. What does judgment do to us? It removes feelings of love, relaxation, peace or rest that we may have had.

It really doesn't matter if that judgment is toward others or ourselves, we will experience the sharpness of judgment within ourselves. From personal experience when I have judge others it turned out to be my own negativity, projected outward. Can you see why it is so important to love? Love the Godly way.

Often, we find fault with ourselves or others when situations make us feel uncomfortable. But if we learn to discern rather than judge, we begin to see our awkward feelings for what they really are.

Those voices in our head — no matter how alarming, boring, distasteful, lustful, or holy — must be recognized and dealt with. If we deny or repress them, they only become more distracting, and our love walk suffers.

Much love,
Joseph
