Everything we say,
do or observe is recorded. Everything. Not by God, or some heavenly
scribe watching our every move, but by us. It is written upon our heart,
in our hand, recorded, by us, in our subconscious. Every crummy or
negative thing we have ever said or done (as well as the good, but the
good isn‘t the problem) is still with us and it seems the Devil himself
drags these things up into the conscious mind in an attempt to hold us
back, to fill us with fear and negativity. We are powerless to control
which thoughts float up from the subconscious but we have complete
control over what action to take when we become aware of them. Our
course is simple, we turn from the lower to the higher in prayer and
meditation. We turn the sunlight of the spirit upon these discordant
thoughts and assert the truth in being, that we have been forgiven,
completely and forever, that Our Father’s love is unconditional,
negative thoughts specters, insubstantial, powerless in the face of His
love and guidance. So remain vigilant and avoid negativity towards
others but above all never wallow in morbid reflection for we are now
living on a different basis, the basis of trusting and relying upon God.
Interesting food for thought, Vince!
