The evil ones best tools are fear and guilt. Fear being the opposite of Faith. Guilt the sure sign of self-hatred and the inability to forgive oneself. There are spiritual laws, that God has set in place. One being... that He takes all those dark times, when we are at our worst, and turns them into seeds of growth. He turns ALL things to good. If by Grace, our faith is strong, if we but open our hearts to His passionate Love, we receive the wisdom to forgive ourselves. Thus to embrace who we are, failings and victories alike. Only then can we reach out and forgive, most of all, Love one another. Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

Oh ELLIE, what a wonderful treatise full of wisdom, no doubt born out of life experiences-and of finding the answers through the LORD which work! This is a gem--worthy of widespread distribution! Keep up the wonderful mission of enlightening & giving hope! David To put together words & rhyme--and touch a life--is so sublime! Thank God for such precious contact! (D.L.White) |

Well said Ellie! I've heard it said, and gave much thought to it, why is it we can forgive others, but find it so hard to forgive ourselves? Are we thinking we're too perfect, that we can't make mistakes? Even though we know we're not perfect, I guess in all reality, when we can't forgive ourselves, that's what we're saying. How could I possibly have done this? Guilt is Satan's tool, and we do need to remember that we are human, we make mistakes as well. If God can forgive us, then we better be able to forgive ourselves as well. This is a treasure Ellie! <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. I don't question YOUR existance - GOD |
