How to Receive Forgiveness and Love

 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39

   In order to receive fully the Forgiveness and Love that you desire, you must be mentally assured that your erroneous thoughts that gave rise to your past and present actions will not be held against you. Further, given the lapse in time between now and the future when your negative mindset is in its transformation to right thinking, you must have that same assurance.

   Your assurance must come from an honest examination of the source of the offer of Forgiveness and Love. If you, alone in your microcosmic individual self, established the offer, then you have a legitimate basis for concern. You could never be sure whether your offer would be accepted, or whether the law of Karma would forever dog your steps.

   It is precisely this misconception of pacifying the Universal Almighty by an initiative begun by the localized individual that has historically led to the errant notions of penances, sacrifices, and various religious rites and ceremonies that could not expiate sin or give any assurance that what was offered was accepted or acceptable.

   However, the offer has not come from your localized individual self, but from your Better Half—your Universal Macrocosmic Self, in whose image and likeness you were created. The location of the initiative makes clear that your acceptance of the offer provided is all that is required of you. No more has been added. This is the basis of your confidence that nothing you have done, are doing, or will ever do, will separate you from the Forgiveness and Love of the All-Originating Spirit of God your Father, and Jesus, your Savior.
