Another day

Everyday is another opportunity given us to become our own genuine self. This was not meant to be confusing nor intimidating. Nor was it meant to be a holy secret that only the most devoted sage, brilliant scholar or wisest healer could ever begin to unravel..For it is very simple. Each are born in God's love. God's love is perfect. From that perfect love we were created. So how did it come to be that we know not who we are, that we are no longer the masters of our own lives. Simply life. Born into a day that knows not perfection, we live the days, weeks, months, years......and in doing so, collect much upon our journey......... quilt, hate, jealousy, contempt.........the most damaging of all is coming to believe we are not worthy......our sins too egregious, our thoughts too evil, our hearts too empty, our soul too bartered to what is not even real..... a worldly pleasure........a tempting trinket.....a profitable betrayal.......a betrayal to ourselves . In words, a life of some regret with sentence's yet to finish and conversations yet to have. All consequences of being born into the classroom of life.

Nary a person standing does not feel some anguish, some pang of conscience over deeds done. Some even blackened to where their hope has dwindled to but a faint faint beam of light from a distance greater than they know. ....where we swim in our shame and wallow in our guilt. And neither goes but in a circle of contempt. Steps are meant to be taken in distance, not place. To those with little faith in themselves, know this. You are holy, you are loved and you are perfect, for God knows only perfection. And in that perfection He created you. Time is but our worldly dream, an illusion from which we wake in search of our perfection. We may not feel it now, nor imagine that we ever could..........but like our souls it does exist and given wisdom will resurface again. It is not lost, only unseen. Some worldly teachings, in the name of profit or judgement can be cruel and teach us wickedness does indeed exist in each of us. And that God Himself will judge us harshly and if we come up wanting, punishment will be swift and dear, more dear than one could ever begin to imagine. And so fear enters our lives. Fear of deprivation, fear of want, fear of ourselves and others, of our sins and of our hate. But our greatest fear of all is our fear of a God that knows not fear. We fear Him most intensely, we fear His retribution and His scorn.......for the world has taught us to deny ourselves by trading our own perfect self for want of mere worldly possessions and powerful ego's. If seen through the eyes of awareness, this seems most insane. for who would really deny themselves for nothing thereby giving over their sanity for insanity. In truth , we know ourselves better than that. Or do we?
