Ego

Unfolding Light · Nov 5, 2026 · 1m

Naaman came to Elisha to be healed

but didn’t get the royal treatment he wanted

so he turned away.

How often does my ego

get in the way

of my healing?

I want to be right

more than I want to be loving,

or even loved.

My ego wants to be superior,

and will never want otherwise.

Soul: listen but do not obey.

The only way to be healed

is to honor the wound,

that opening where grace flows in.

My ego will complain

until the moment I am wholly whole

in paradise, when it will be no more.

Till then the wound, the gap,

by grace,

is heaven’s very gate.
