This is a beautiful sharing I found on the Friends of Bill W page on Facebook today by group member Paul Newton. I do not know the daily reader it was taken from but wow did this strikr a chord for me today.. Thanks so much to Paul for sharing this..
For an honest balanced view of myself I take a few moments in which I free my mind of everything except God’s love for me.
For today – p. 153
One of the hardest things for me when meditating was freeing my mind of the “mind chatter” that crowded out contemplative thoughts. That changed when I read this quotation. I love to meditate to this quotation. I visualize God’s love enveloping me like a warm glow. Sometimes I visualize white light surrounding me. I can then empty my mind of everything but God’s love for me, leaving me with a sense of well being for myself and the world. Problems and difficulties melt away.. I feel immensely grateful for being alive and for all the good things in my life. It’s not that I don’t have problems any more; it’s just that I realize having problems and overcoming them is what life is all about. Why else are we here?
