the Lord is My Shepherd

the Lord is My Shepherd

so I have need of nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
giving me everything I need,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness,
for I invite Him to be my Guide,
and He does this because of His love for me
for we are brothers,
sharing the same familly name,
Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me;
Your Spirit is my comforter
and You have replaced my fears with Your Love.
You prepare a festival for me
awaiting my return home,
even before I have learned to forgive all my enemies...
You anoint my head with oil,
having a purpose for me that I can not even comprehend,
my cup overflows,
for I have not yet learned how to
deal with all Your gifts
Surely Your goodness and Your love will fill me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell
in the house of the LORD
forever.

by D. Chandonnet, inspired from Ps 23:1-6 and a Course in Miracles

Defence is Attack

Notes to self,

Sore shoulders indicate the results of defensiveness

To be humble, one must see themselves as the other. In this sense, humbleness is to see into another's universe.

To attack another's belief system is to attack that person.

When he complains, it is a request for love. He feels unloved. Maybe the best way to deal with it is to change the subject. If i minimize it it can be a reason to find further proof for it...

To see myself as an english person, is not humility. "The great way is not difficult" if i let go of my body identity...
