VI. The Light of Communication, P 8

Journal
This paragraph is such good news! The Holy Spirit will remove from my mind all that interferes with communication as long as I don’t prevent him from doing so. Jesus says that He will not attack my sentinels, so I have to give him my thinking errors, my dark thoughts, and not defend them from His help.

I don’t have a lot of sentinels because I don’t have a lot I would defend. I used to defend my special relationships, but I seldom do that anymore. The way I used to do this, was to deliberately not ask Holy Spirit to decide for me what my relationships mean and how to use them. This was especially true with my children.

If my daughter asked me to do something, I would not ask for guidance about the answer. I didn’t want to take a chance that the answer I was given would be no. I didn’t think I could say no to my daughter. I was too invested in my daughter’s opinion of me to take that gamble. When I finally let the Holy Spirit heal that relationship, I was able to open that part of my mind to Him. I still loved and enjoyed my daughter, but did not need her to love and enjoy me. What freedom!

I’m sorry it took me so long to trust the Holy Spirit. The reason I waited as long as I did is because I thought I had to guard this need to be loved and appreciated. It seemed so very important to me, that I could not chance doing anything to upset the delicate balance. With trust growing within me, I let the Holy Spirit in and He showed me that I was guarding nothing.

Now, this relationship is stronger and happier for both of us without this needless burden projected onto it. All of my mind can be this free and love filled if I only open the door to the Holy Spirit. He will do what is necessary to restore communication.
