In giving to others, I give to myself.
In the spiritual universe, we only get to keep what we give away. Many thoughts that masquerade as self interest are actually thoughts of self sabotage. For when we seek to win at the expense of others, we subconsciously seek to deny ourselves.
Surrendering to the ways of God is not an act of self sacrifice, but rather the opposite. For in withholding My love, I am sacrificing a life of spiritual abundance and emotional freedom. Today, I give my love to others that I might feel more loved.
Dear God,
May I not be tempted
To withhold my love
In surrendering to love
I surrender to that which wishes for me my greatest good
The ego speaks, but the ego lies.
May love drown out its voice today.
Amen.
Marianne Williamson
