Thought for the Day

"When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you."

-African Proverb

To me this means if we totally love ourselves there is no enemy within. There is nothing within that agrees with the rejection or insult coming from outside. Christ said, "Love thy enemy as thy neighbor." He wants us to understand that the enemy will tell us things about ourselves our friends won't tell us. So our enemy, by pushing our buttons, helps to point out where we are not whole, where we have a fragmented or non-loving relationship with ourselves. If we at least understand where we are conflicted, where we are at odds with ourselves, we are one step closer to healing this relationship. The enemy is a blessing.
