Reflection for January 29

I know that what is moral feels good
and what is immoral feels bad.
It ain't that complicated.

—Hemingway

Reflection

The heart always knows the truth no matter how we
may try to hide from ourselves. We all have that ten-
dency to hide a bad motive under a good one, but there
is no getting away from the built-in compass of right
and wrong. And it doesn't take a college education to
figure it out. Being honest with ourselves is a daily
workout. You can never let up.

Affirmation

Help me to acknowledge my God-given ability to dis-
tinguish between right and wrong, and to take respon-
sibility for all of my actions.
