Lately I've become aware of how easy it is to live according to programs that exist deep within our being.
We may have a program that sets us up as a good, loving person and this is good.
However, it becomes a problem when we regard ourselves as not so good, then that awful GUILT can creep in and cause us to be dishonest, even to selves.
There is no love in guilt. This is important to remember, then we can face our weaknesses without guilt and do something about them.
God does not want us to suffer and so He will prompt us and help us with so many reminders of the Truth so that we can be honest about who and what we are.
It's good to remember that God knows us and knows the tendency we have to be weak and foolish.
This does in no way prevent Him from loving us, just as a loving father would love his child no matter what weaknesses they have.
The challenge for me is to be my true self without guilt.
If I am unkind or unloving, then this gives me an opportunity to say sorry and start again.
Love is the goal we all seek after. Let's not be fooled by imperfection.
Simply listen to the inner voice that prompts us to love, and love!
