Study of Text, C 13: X. Release from Guilt, P 14. 1-3-17

X. Release from Guilt, P 14

14 Praise be to you who make the Father one with His Own Son. Alone we are all lowly, but together we shine with brightness so intense that none of us alone can even think of it. Before the glorious radiance of the Kingdom guilt melts away, and transformed into kindness will never more be what it was. Every reaction you experience will be so purified that it is fitting as a hymn of praise unto your Father. See only praise of Him in what He has created, for He will never cease His praise of you. United in this praise we stand before the gates of Heaven where we will surely enter in our sinlessness. God loves you. Could I, then, lack faith in you and love Him perfectly?

Journal
Here is what I think when I read this. God knows me as He created me. He knows nothing that is out of alignment with that creation. He loves me. Jesus says that he would not love God perfectly if he lacked faith in me. So this would be true for me, too. In order to love God perfectly, I must have faith in my brothers because God created them. So how does this unfold in my life?

Mostly at this point, I observe when I fail to have faith. I see the judgmental thoughts in my mind. I look at my justifications for my faithlessness. Then I ask that my mind be corrected. I ask that I might see my brother differently. I trust that this prayer will be answered, and I trust that I will accept the answer as quickly and completely as I can.

And when I, once again, get distracted by my projections and I start to think someone is guilty, as I remind myself that this cannot be true. I remind myself that this one is part of God’s most holy Son, created in His image, and could only ever be that perfect creation. If I see guilt then it must be a false image I am looking at, a projection of false thoughts I have left unhealed in my mind.
