I Greet The Indwelling Forgiver.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – Forgiveness And Beyond. What are the difference between a human and our Father? If we hurt a human once, he or she will forget all the previous kindnesses to them, focusing on the one time we failed them. When I’ve committed willfully acts, not only was I forgiven but through Your loving grace, Father You transformed my defects into assets. By the simple act of owning and surrendering my defective patterns over to You, Father, holding nothing back, I leave the forgiveness to You. There are some negative patterns so deeply engrained, which continually call for forgiveness at different levels. An example is jealousy. By our Father grace, I was shown its root cause; a deep-seated habit of thought and feeling about my lack of trust, betrayal and guilt projected on to others. These forgiveness patterns call for my taking ownership of the pattern, and changing my beliefs and actions, then, surrendering them to our Father to be transformed into an asset. Alcoholics Anonymous is not unlike the search for diamonds in South Africa. First, they found a few diamonds in the yellow-clay. Then, upon digging deeper, they came upon the blue-clay and found as many diamonds in a day as they had found in a year. A.A. differs from the diamond fields. The yellow-clay is “just not drinking.” Beneath the blue-clay are much richer strata. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
