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 in our subconscious. Every questionable or
negative thing we have ever said or done (as well as the good, but the
good is never the problem) is still with us and it often seems the Devil himself
drags these specters up into our conscious mind in an attempt to hold us
back, to fill us with fear, shame and all manner of negativity.
To be clear, we have no control over the memories of mistakes, pain and loss that float up from our subconscious, but we have complete
control over the action we take when we become aware of them. Our
course is simple, we turn from the lower to the higher in prayer and
meditation as soon as we can. We turn the sunlight of the spirit upon the discordant
thoughts and assert the truth of Being, that we have been forgiven,
restored, completely and forever, that Our Father’s love is unconditional;
negative thoughts phantoms, insubstantial, powerless in the face of His
love and guidance.
So we must stand vigilant to address negativity and morbid reflection as outlined, for we are now
living on a different basis, the basis of trusting and relying upon God.
Upon this basis the record of our lives becomes one of our greatest assets in helping others to freedom from the bondage of self,
it's value inestimable.
