Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and shield. Our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you. (Psalm 33: 20-22)

Our essential self - true self - waits for the Lord. The Hebrew suggests longing for the Lord.

Our inner self - true self - knows, rejoices and trusts in the identity of God. We know that we share in that identity. We recognize our origin in God's intention and purpose.

We have been given the gift of freedom. In this freedom we can choose to either be in relationship with God - or not.

Our true self seeks reunification with God. This seeking can be distracted by other purposes. The other purposes many even be in conflict with this goal of reunification.

To avoid distraction and resolve the conflict we must experience, understand, and accept the love of God.
