I greet The Indwelling Gift Of Knowing.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – Denial. Out of our Father’s infinite storehouse comes some of the most unexpected gifts, denial is one of them. Denial is a special gift of grace. Denial does not ask us to address anything until we have the tools. When denial breaks down it is a sign that we have everything we need to handle whatever shows up. If we try to avoid working on the solution when that mini-awakening happens, denial turns to dishonesty, which demands our attention. Like some of our other defects, denial at times kept us from doing more harm to others and or ourselves. When I became ready and willing to own and surrender all of me to our Father, for His upgrading, I realize the constructive side of denial, and then its breakdown happened. Fear will change its nature when we embrace it, so it is with denial. Perhaps denial is another form of fear. Alcoholic Anonymous offers us a great set of tools to deal with denial and dishonesty. “Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil. For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst? Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters. In your longing for your giant self lies your goodness: and that longing is in all of you” The Prophet – Kahlil Gibran. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
