How do I know that something I do is addictive? One way is if something always goes wrong when you do it. You try to do something for someone that you think is a good thing. Well, that is your opinion. They always get angry, upset and then try and avoid you. You may say, “I am doing it for their own good.” Maybe. But if it is always going to be wrong or sideways, maybe you are doing it for your own good. It is the heresy of helpfulness. It lacks the spiritual practice that might signal to us a different path or action. All service and no prayer usually goes sideways at best.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
