We shall light a candle of understanding in our hearts which shall not be put out.

I almost wrote a stupid e-mail this morning. I was letting my emotions get the best of me. Divine intervention came in the presence of my therapist friend, Suzanne. She walked into my office as tears were welling and I was writing a heart-felt e-mail that would not have been taken in the way I meant it and that did not really speak to the issue in the way I meant.

She gave me a new perspective. She asked me to look at things in a different way. She broke it down with me and helped me see things from a more non-emotional perspective.

I needed that.

She told me that I need to go back to my roots, to the things I believe in…and my devotional goes to that place. I need to believe in what I know is true.

Starting there gives me the perspective that I needed today.
