Obstacles
Each of us would like to live at peace with himself and with his fellows.
We would like to be assured that the grace of God can do for us what
we cannot do for ourselves. We have seen that character defects based
upon shortsighted or unworthy desires are the obstacles that block our
path toward these objectives. We now clearly see that we have been
making unreasonable demands upon ourselves, upon others, and upon God.

Thought to Ponder . . .
The chief activator of our defects has been self-centered fear.
