Only Today 1.46 - Does God Owe Me Today?

We are going to talk about something now from the holy mystic’s teachings that is difficult for me to talk about not because of the emotions, but because I have to look in the mirror. Does God owe us today? Does he owe us life? When we lose days from yesterday we feel gypped. Like we got a raw deal because that didn’t happen and this person didn’t say that and my childhood was a rip off. I guess the hard truth is that God doesn’t owe us anything. Just the opposite, we owe him. This is a hard concept for many of us.

Journal exercise: This is hard, but take time to contemplate this. Ask yourself these questions (1) Does God owe me anything? (2) What about in my childhood? (3) Does God owe me anything in my life today?

After 10 to 15 minutes of contemplation or meditation on these questions or something similar, make some notes of your questions, difficulties, or insights. Alternatively have a 30 minute conversation with a very good friend or God.
