The Answer to Guilt is Always Forgiveness

Robert:  I am coming to recognize that all calls for Love are the same, no matter what the form. Whether it is an alcoholic who cannot stop drinking or making a mistake like drilling a hole in the wrong place. If there is guilt, there is demand for punishment. So the ego will make up circumstances that are disturbing to our peace. The ego sees anything that might contribute to guilt as especially useful because guilt keeps the ego in place. So if I am following the ego’s lead, I may unconsciously do things that are wrong so that I can add to my guilt.

The answer to these situations is always forgiveness, which is Love’s reflection in this world. Today we read a review lesson in which we were reminded that giving and receiving are the same. So when I forgive, it is a gift I give myself. I teach myself that guilt is not justified. As I continue this practice I become less and less prone to setting up situations in which it appears I had make a mistake or I deserve guilt.

Today I again offer to the Holy Spirit for Him to take the lead. I would accept His gift of peace and willingly step back. I would open my mind to His vision to see the innocence that is real and look past all appearances without judgment on my own. I would accept the Holy Spirit’s gift of Love and offer it everywhere, always. Thus will I know the gift I have been given. I rest in gratitude.

Mary:  As I go to Holy Spirit this morning for direction for the day, I am reminded that my job is to accept Holy Spirit’s gift of peace all through the day. When I am open to accepting the peace of God, inspiration comes with it. I am in the right place at the right time. I go with the flow of what is most helpful in the moment. I remember to hand over all my judgments to the Holy Spirit for them to be purified of all false ideas. When I am willing to accept Holy Spirit’s gift of peace, happiness comes with it. Awareness of Love’s Presence comes with it. I remember that I am safe in the Mind of God, no matter what appears to be happening in the dream.

This past weekend Gary Renard gave an inspiring seminar and we met many wonderful new people who came here to the Pathways of Light center in Kiel. We announced that we were selling the property and several people over the weekend came forward and told us they were interested and wanted to discuss it further. There was so much interest that it really helped me trust that everything is coming together in perfect order regarding the move to Florida.

Brenda Eden, the wife of Robert Mills, drove here from Iowa to attend the workshop and I had a wonderful time at dinner to connect with her. She will be writing an extensive article for the next Miracles News to be published in early July. She is indeed an inspiration to us all and I love her dearly. She will be returning in August for Nouk and Tomas’ workshop on Undoing the Ego. I look forward to seeing her again.

Lately there seems to be so much happening on so many fronts that it seems like the only way we can do it is by consistently choosing peace throughout the day. I have found that when I choose peace and truly accept peace that clarity and inspiration comes with it. I am in deep gratitude that we all are safe in God, no matter what our dream looks like. We are all receiving the perfect lessons and as we consistently turn to the Holy Spirit, every problem is quietly resolved.
