November 24, 1996



November 24, 1996 

Today I feel thankful about something which surprises me.  I feel thankful to God for DIScomfort in my spiritual and emotional life.  Just as our bodies are strengthened by effort, perseverance and exhaustion at physical labor, so our spiritual selves are strengthened by experiencing pain and weakness of the spirit.  My conscience tells me when I am being untrue to myself and others.  Discomfort tells me it is time to get closer to God, to examine my assumptions about what it means to live God’s message.”
