It is difficult if not impossible…
…to unhook completely from our ego’s incredible grip upon our psyche.
Insofar as we are able to do so, it is only through that within us that is even more powerful than our ego.
That would be our soul.
The soul, the medium or essence of God within us,
fights only with love.
Like God, it doesn’t do battle with the ego…or at least, it doesn’t play the ego’s game.
Its weapons include forgiveness, mercy, compassion, inner clarity, joy, peace, thankfulness, awareness and self-control.
These are the “arrows” in love’s quiver.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control." (Galatians 5:22-23a NRSV)
