APPLICATION:

“NOTHING IN THIS LIFE WILL EVER FULLY COMPLETE US. WE HAVE TO GIVE UP OUR MESSIANIC EXPECTATIONS AND DEMANDS. HENCE, WE MUST STOP EXPECTING THAT SOMEWHERE, SOME TIME IN SOME PLACE WE WILL MEET JUST THE RIGHT PERSON, THE RIGHT SITUATION OR THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF CIRCUMSTANCES SO THAT WE CAN BE COMPLETELY HAPPY, WE WILL STOP DEMANDING THAT OUR SPOUSES, FAMILIES, FRIENDS AND JOBS GIVE US WHAT GOD CAN GIVE US, CLEAR CUT PURE JOY.”
