Forgiveness offers everything I want.
* Amen.
1. What could you want forgiveness cannot give?
²Do you want peace?
³Forgiveness offers it.
⁴Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world?
⁵Do you want care and safety, and the warmth of sure protection always?
⁶Do you want a quietness that cannot be disturbed, a gentleness that never can be hurt, a deep abiding comfort, and a rest so perfect it can never be upset?
* I want you to know that I have a witness of this inside AND that I am growing in experiencing it in my day to day walk as well AS THE HOLY SPIRIT IS SHOWING ME HOW TO RETRAIN MY MIND TO BE IN ‘SPIRIT MODE.’ Or in ‘GOD MODE.’
* I see a lot of expression of ‘pushing the envelope’ on the level of neutrality about God and using hypnotherapy and nueroliquistic programming to alter our self-defeting mentality but I trust God to direct me.
* I cannot convince you of His Existence but I can bear witness of Him and I will do so, just as I know that Jesus always has.
2. All this forgiveness offers you, and more.
²It sparkles on your eyes as you awake, and gives you joy with which to meet the day.
³It soothes your forehead while you sleep, and rests upon your eyelids so you see no dreams of fear and evil, malice and attack.
⁴And when you wake again, it offers you another day of happiness and peace.
⁵All this forgiveness offers you, and more.
3. Forgiveness lets the veil be lifted up that hides the face of Christ from those who look with unforgiving eyes upon the world.
²It lets you recognize the Son of God, and clears your memory of all dead thoughts so that remembrance of your Father can arise across the threshold of your mind.
³What would you want forgiveness cannot give?
⁴What gifts but these are worthy to be sought?
⁵What fancied value, trivial effect or transient promise, never to be kept, can hold more hope than what forgiveness brings?
4. Why would you seek an answer other than the answer that will answer everything?
²Here is the perfect answer, given to imperfect questions, meaningless requests, halfhearted willingness to hear, and less than halfway diligence and partial trust.
³Here is the answer!
⁴Seek for it no more.
⁵You will not find another one instead.
5. God’s plan for your salvation cannot change, nor can it fail.
²Be thankful it remains exactly as He planned it.
³Changelessly it stands before you like an open door, with warmth and welcome calling from beyond the doorway, bidding you to enter in and make yourself at home, where you belong.
6. Here is the answer!
²Would you stand outside while all of Heaven waits for you within?
³Forgive and be forgiven.
* NOW, do not think that means that you must tolerate cruel behavior. Or that you do not need to be proactive in the story that you are playing out in the world of form. These are things that bring you to an awareness of the inner world that is currently unseen by the consciousness of humanity as real AS YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION IN THE WORLD OF FORM. In other words, NOTHING is going to make up for the cruelty that we have imposed on each other and thereby, on ourselves.
* You must deal with the struggles that the world of form currently presents WITHOUT JUDGING IT OR YOUR RESPONSE TO IT.
* GIVE the REINS of your life over to the Holy Spirit within you by giving up ALL of your grievances that you believe are REAL. See them as fiction that you get to deal with for a while BUT DO NOT SEE THEM AS REAL.
⁴As you give you will receive.
⁵There is no plan but this for the salvation of the Son of God.
* Amen.
⁶Let us today rejoice that this is so, for here we have an answer, clear and plain, beyond deceit in its simplicity.
⁷All the complexities the world has spun of fragile cobwebs disappear before the power and the majesty of this extremely simple statement of the truth.
7. Here is the answer!
²Do not turn away in aimless wandering again.
³Accept salvation now.
⁴It is the gift of God, and not the world.
⁵The world can give no gifts of any value to a mind that has received what God has given as its own.
⁶God wills salvation be received today, and that the intricacies of your dreams no longer hide their nothingness from you.
8. Open your eyes today and look upon a happy world of safety and of peace.
* WITHIN.
* Within FIRST and it will eventually manifest in form as well. Maybe in this lifetime and maybe not until another but it will alter your sense of REALITY because the Holy Spirit will show you it is TRUE WITHIN YOU.
* This may be a feeling. This may be something that you can only hold on to as FAITH but you will have the strength to do so when you are willing to because God is the STRENGTH by which you do it.
²Forgiveness is the means by which it comes to take the place of hell.
* And IT IS a BEAUTIFUL ‘place’ to be!
³In quietness it rises up to greet your open eyes, and fill your heart with deep tranquility as ancient truths, forever newly born, arise in your awareness.
⁴What you will remember then can never be described.
⁵Yet your forgiveness offers it to you.
9. Remembering the gifts forgiveness gives, we undertake our practicing today with hope and faith that this will be the day salvation will be ours.
²Earnestly and gladly will we seek for it today, aware we hold the key within our hands, accepting Heaven’s answer to the hell we made, but where we would remain no more.
10. Morning and evening do we gladly give a quarter of an hour to the search in which the end of hell is guaranteed.
²Begin in hopefulness, for we have reached the turning point at which the road becomes far easier.
³And now the way is short that yet we travel.
⁴We are close indeed to the appointed ending of the dream.
11. Sink into happiness as you begin these practice periods, for they hold out the sure rewards of questions answered and what your acceptance of the answer brings.
²Today it will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers, and the joy the lifting of the veil holds out to you.
12. Before the light you will receive today the world will fade until it disappears, and you will see another world arise you have no words to picture.
²Now we walk directly into light, and we receive the gifts that have been held in store for us since time began, kept waiting for today.
* This will happen on a ‘timeline’ that you can deal with. Remember that time is not actually real as we comprehend it and there is much confused thinking to remove, individually and collectively, even after forgiveness of the Whole Consciousness that is the Son of God is given.
13. Forgiveness offers everything you want.
²Today all things you want are given you.
³Let not your gifts recede throughout the day, as you return again to meet a world of shifting change and bleak appearances.
⁴Retain your gifts in clear awareness as you see the changeless in the heart of change; the light of truth behind appearances.
14. Be tempted not to let your gifts slip by and drift into forgetfulness, but hold them firmly in your mind by your attempts to think of them at least a minute as each quarter of an hour passes by.
²Remind yourself how precious are these gifts with this reminder, which has power to hold your gifts in your awareness through the day:
³Forgiveness offers everything I want.
⁴Today I have accepted this as true.
⁵Today I have received the gifts of God.
