Compassion & Love

I live within the love and compassion that comes from that force I identify as God.  I carry and act according to that force throughout the day.  To me, like a loving parent, that force is not always sweet and gentle, though it certainly is much of the time.  Also, like a loving parent, that force will and has prevented me from doing things that were extremely self-destructive, like attempting suicide.  For the most part, God allows me to experience natural consequences.  I use that caring and love as a model for my own actions, when interacting with others.
