If we go down into ourselves we find that we possess exactly what we desire.

~Simone Weil

We were driven by insatiable desires, unable to get enough of anything - material possessions, physical sensations, social acceptance. Whatever massaged our ego, stimulated and sated our appetites, created illusions of grandeur, tickled our senses, carried us to dreamland, took our mind off our troubles and made us forget - that was what we wanted. Yet the fulfillment of these desires left us spiritually bankrupt.

Our recovery begins with the discovery that we already have what we need, that love is what really matters. And we get love by giving love. When we invest our time in doing loving things, going deep into ourselves to learn God's will for us, we get even more than we hoped for.

Today I want to know my Higher Power's will for me and trust that I have the love I can never give too much of.

Today's reading is from the book In God's Care: Daily Meditations on Spirituality in Recovery*
