037_BWYR in twelve simple steps, "We are entirely ready for God" (Episode 7, Chapter #6)

God created man in His image, in the divine image He created him; male and female he created them (Gen 1:27) 

God is love. God’s very being is love. By sending his only Son and the Spirit of Love in the fullness of time, God has revealed His innermost secret: God himself is and eternal exchange of love, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and he has destined us to share in that exchange (CCC #221) 

We're entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character (Step 6 of the twelve steps)

"Become Who You Are in twelve simple steps. Rediscovering Abundance, meaning and purpose, in a world gone mad."

2. Take one day at a time. Give something up or take some action for just 24 hours and offer it for an intention that is on your heart.
