I greet The Indwelling Healer.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is - Built In Thermostat. We have a built in thermostat; a path to correction. I call guilt and punishment a drug; it gives us an illusion that it is correcting a problem. Like alcohol, it acts as a "fix," not a solution. Once again, I caught myself using the drug guilt and punishment, first on another and then on myself. I felt like a friend betrayed me, when I run into him, I gave him a little shot of the drug, guilt. I applied a little of, “You done me - wrong song,” he didn’t by it. In fact, he offered me the same drug, guilt, adding a shot of punishment. In the Hands of our Father, everything has a loving purpose. When I was a child my caretakers taught me, for my own good of course, the many “good” and “bad” uses for the drug, guilt and punishment. Our Divine Thermostat is a handy tool for realigning our will with our Father’s Loving Will. Our Father gave His angels charge over us to help us get out of a ditch we’ve fallen into. We have a free will, to follow His loving guidance or to misuse the drug, guilt and punishment. Gratitude is looking on the brighter side of life, even if it means hurting your eyes” Ellen DeGeneres. Our Choice. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
