Keep your balance

Sometimes, our legitimate needs and wants run amuck.

We want something so badly-for instance our spouse sobering up, or that job, or that woman or that man-that we begin to obsess and dwell.

We take ourselves out of that place of balance and end up in a no-win tailspin. It’s not that what we want and need is bad for us. It’s just that right now, what we want isn’t, obviously, taking place.

Don’t take it out on yourself by judging yourself wrong.

Don’t take it out on your needs by telling yourself you shouldn’t have any.

Relax.

Come back to center, to that clear, balanced place.

Don’t let your needs and desires run away with you. Yes, passion is great stuff. Identify what you want. Then let it go. And ask God what your lesson is.?
