Letting Go of the Past and Future

Robert: Peace is always present, now. If I am not experiencing peace, then my thoughts are focused on the past. It may even seem like I am thinking about the future. But since the future does not exist, I can only make up stories about the future based upon my perceived past.

Forgiveness, or letting go of the past, is how I clear the way for the peace of now to return to my awareness. If I experience uncertainty about the future, it is because I do not trust the present to extend its peaceful blessing eternally. And so I am trying to drag the past into the future. Since the past in my memory is only a hodge podge of bits and pieces of incomplete perception, it is impossible to use the past to construct a certain future.

But when I allow myself to let go of the past and open my mind to the eternal Love and peace and joy in the present, I feel the certainty of God. Here I rest. I let go of the constant analyzing and planning and I gratefully put the future in God’s Hands. I need plan for nothing. I need only rest in God. As I rest in Love, I have complete confidence that I am cared for completely. No harm can come to me but only blessing. Today I dedicate to resting in Love. Love will guide my way, step by step, with what to do and what to say. I am willing.

Mary: Today, I let the stillness of Heaven fill my heart. Today I open my mind to receive Holy Spirit’s gifts of peace and Love and joy.

Today I let myself be carried. I stop frequently to step back and receive Holy Spirit’s inspiration. Today I would remember that God is happiness and therefore my true being is happiness. I would let God’s happiness fill my heart and mind. And I give thanks.
