JOYFULLY ORTHODOX CATHOLIC: 29 - 31 August

 29. Friendship with God is enough. He takes care of all the details of love you will ever need. Follow his ways. He takes care of you.

30. Inner questions about 'who you are' will arise and need to be considered, reflected upon closely, prayerfully. He keeps holding you if you want to be held. Don't hate yourself; don't, or try not to reject and hate the parts of you that you find hardest to love.

'Having possession of beauty' in 'the image of' or 'in association with' another human leaves you starving for more. It is like drinking water from a mirage, or 'feasting' in a dream or fantasy, in either case you remain despairing and starved. You have been created in the Image and Likeness of Jesus, Let Him Be your Identity, He makes you Whole, He makes you Beautiful. You will grow to know His love for you and begin to see who you are through His eyes loving you, and helping you to live out what is important in this life.

31. Some days are harder than others. Call a friend you trust to talk about things, laugh, and pray together :)
