None of my substitutes for God can possibly work.

I woke this morning with a sobering, but happy thought:

No matter how much I try to find fulfillment through other things in my life—sex, relationships, material things, sex, fun activities, money, sex (is there a theme here?)—none of these things can possibly work. 

None of these things can possibly provide the lasting joy and peace that is already mine, that has already been given me. None of these could possibly work as a substitute for my oneness with God.

And I thank God, that this is so. I thank God, that a substitute is not possible; for if it were so, I would get lost in the offerings of the world instead of desiring to remember and learn how to experience His love, Our love.

Today, I dedicate to remembering who I am and my one true desire: to walk with the Holy Spirit in awareness of His presence, His Joy,and His Love.  I invite you to join with me in this walk today.

In Joy,

Michael
