It Is Preparation Time - Self Forgiveness

Hello, Friends.

As we continue to prepare for the awakening of the Christ Spirit within us, we must examine our inner awareness. Buried inside of us are many negative thoughts, feelings and attitudes that need to be erased and blown away. More often than not, those negative feelings of guilt, shame, and fault-finding are directed against ourselves. These tend to be the inner bullies that keep us chained up, intimidated, and immobilized. They also contribute to many physical manifestations of dis-ease, lack, and limitation in our world and in our affairs. Matthew 23:25 instructs us to, "clean the inside of the cup and the outside will be clean also."
We clean the inside by recognizing that the Creator is full of loving kindness, slow to anger, and forgiving. He not only forgives us for our own sake, but he does not remember the transgression. Isaiah 43:25.
Forgive yourself! Release the negative and replace it with love; love for the Creator, love for yourself, and love for your neighbors. ( Might I remind you that our neighbors include all residents of the universe, including plants, animals, as well as humans.)
Accept the good that is God. Be the wonderfully made person you were meant to be. Allow the light of God to shine through you.

Peace and Blessings.
