Focusing on the Error

The following is something I wrote about while doing 920: Being a Miracle Worker

How is the perception of focusing on the errors of another holding me back?

I don’t do that very often anymore. However, sometimes I worry about my child’s behavior and for the length of time I do that, I am holding myself back from being a true miracle worker. I can’t believe in their errors and be a conduit for miracles at the same time. Believing in their errors is my error and needs to be healed before I can be helpful.

My daughter just sent a text. The news announced that the governor would be making a big announcement at 4:00. Susan is experiencing a sense of dread. She is very afraid of the virus and thinks the governor will loosen the rules too much. I want to tell her not to waste her time being afraid but that won’t make sense to her and will just increase her fear.

So, what I am doing instead, is to love her. I love her like God loves her. He adores her just as she imagines she is. Her fear fantasies do not change His love for her any more than her fantasies change her reality. So I just keep adoring her, too. Her fear fantasies don’t concern God because He knows who she is, so they don’t concern me either. I know who she is. This is the way I shift my worries and concerns so that I no longer focus on the error. I just love instead.
