Conscience is God's presence in man.

~Emanuel Swedenborg

As we mature, our conscience grows, and vice versa. We follow a principle that directs us to promptly admit when we are wrong. That practical piece of guidance is the most effective way to become bigger, stronger men. To follow it, we must abandon our ego's desire to always be right. We must abandon the thought that we are belittled by such an admission.

In this process of becoming better men, we open ourselves and allow God to enter. We let God speak to us and through us by humbly accepting that we don't always have to be right. The higher principles of honesty and responsibility are our guides, and we don't expect perfection from ourselves. In that way, we become more honest with ourselves and with our friends.

Today, I will be open to the truth that my Higher Power speaks within me.

Today's reading is from the book Stepping Stones: More Daily Meditations for Men*
