Forgiveness: Let Go and Let God

Robert:  Yesterday I was reminded how important it is for me to be vigilant to recognize when my thoughts are tied in to the ego thought system. I became aware of impatience, uncertainty and feelings of frustration. I realized that I was making up stories about what I perceived to be the cause of the circumstances that were bothering me. And those stories were stories of being at the mercy of other people’s thoughts and actions. In other words, I was playing the victim.

I was surprised at how easily and unconsciously I had slipped into that mode. I wasn’t trusting in God. I was believing in separation and making separation real in my mind. Belief in separation and trust are antithetical. If I’m trusting I have let go of belief in separation. If I’m believing in separation, trust is impossible. Because separation is illusion and all illusions are really nothing, there is no basis for trust when I am believing in separation. It was a great relief to recognize that I had slipped over to the dark side of separation and bought into the fear that comes with it.

The simple recognition of my mistaken thoughts gave me the crack in the door to be able to offer these thoughts to the Holy Spirit for His gentle correction. As soon as I did this, I felt relief. I felt assurance that all I need to do is to follow Holy Spirit in every moment. It is not my job to make the plan and orchestrate it. It is my job to receive Holy Spirit’s plan and execute His plan. That job is easy because the strength and means to fulfill His plan are provided. I’m not on my own. Never have been. Never will be. Today I walk hand in hand with Holy Spirit, assured of His strength and guidance. I walk in peace.

Mary:  Forgiveness is my only function here. Letting go of the belief that I could separate from God and the rest of the Sonship is my one function. Letting go of thinking that separation is real, which is forgiveness, is my one function. Today my job is to practice handing over every thought that comes from belief in separation to the Holy Spirit to be undone. The Holy Spirit removes the belief for me, but I must be willing to let it go. Today my practice is to remember that I rest in Oneness and that all my needs are met. I still am as God created me. I cannot change God’s Creation and separate it off into little tiny parts. I cannot make separation real. Today I am willing to practice once again to let go of my belief in separation and let God, which brings me the awareness of oneness. Solo la Luz (only the Light).

Annie: Today I want to thank Spirit for His Holy Presence. It is constantly blessing everyone and everything. I thank Spirit for guiding us in these morning meetings. He graces us with His Light, thoughts and words. I thank Spirit for His healing touch. Much doubt and pain are undone and dissolved as He gently sends His Light to every open space in our minds and hearts. I thank Spirit for everyone, for everything, and for all time.

Holy Spirit to Dorie:  Be in the light for you are Light. Soar like a flag unfurled.

Holy Spirit to Sharyn:  I see a flag with a star. You are not a lone star, for we are all one Star, part of the One Light. Thank you for trusting in that Light. The more we realize our oneness with Light and trust that all is well, the more we will move through life with ease. It will be smooth sailing.

Notice when you sail a boat, there is no motor running, meaning no ego running wild and noisy. There is only peace and serenity. Allow yourself to sail through the seas of life. I, Holy Spirit, am the Captain of your ship. I would never lead you to rocky waters or stormy weather. When you put your trust in Me, it will all be just smooth sailing.

Get on board, everyone, and enjoy the sail. Enjoy going with the flow. Enjoy feeling the peace and calmness of just letting the wind take you wherever it is you are supposed to be. Remember, only goodness will follow you all the days. Enjoy the smooth sailing everyone. Enjoy.
