When I was drinking, I always tried to build myself up. I used to tell tall stories about myself. I told them so often that I half believe some of them now, even though I know they aren't true. I used to hang around the lowbrow barrooms so I could feel superior to the other customers. The reason I always tried to build myself up was that I knew deep down in my heart that I really didn't amount to anything. It was a kind of defence against my feeling of inferiority. Do I still build myself up?
Meditation for the Day ~
God thought about the universe and brought it into being. His thought brought me into being. I must think God's thought after Him. I must often keep my mind occupied with thoughts about God and mediate on the way He wants me to live. I must train my mind constantly in quiet times of communion with god. It is the work of a lifetime to develop to full stature spiritually. This is what I am on earth for. It gives meaning to my life.
Prayer for the Day ~
I pray that I may think God's thoughts after Him. I pray that I may live as He wants me to live.
