A REMARKABLE BOOK ON FORGIVENESS

Dear Paula,

Thank you for your insight!  Odd how we can read another's wise words and not hear them.  Let another say them, and they reach us.  So often I find another person's insight so helpful to what I've been hearing for ages.  Gloria has a fantastic way of making one wake up and pay attention.  Your quoting her makes it that much more awakening Paula, thanks!

LPL,
Joe

Yesterday I received my copy of Lois Einhorn's book 'Forgiveness and Child Abuse'. I didn't have time to start reading it all, but I went straight to the Heavenletters contribution by Gloria. I'm sure it's not by mere chance that the contribution by Gloria and God is one of the final ones. Glancing through the pages I saw that the contributions were expressions of all the contributors' consciousnesses, some very complicated, others more simple. But the simplest one seems to be the one by God.

I was also struck by the difference between Gloria, as the human being she is, and Gloria, the scribe of God. While the human is sad and angry and unable to forgive, the divine says simply that it's not for us to forgive. Imagine how this lightens our useless burden: we don't have to struggle to forgive, or pretend to forgive, we just need to leave things to God. In this case, we can save the child and protect them and just accompany the parents to God's frontdoor leaving them there. - This difference between the human and the divine made me think that we can really all do our own Godwriting and let our light shine. I had this image of Gloria letting GOd's light shine through her, expanding it in all the world. And we can all do this.

I happened to be translating a Heavenletter just yesterday where God says: 'When you free the others, you free yourself." Meaning that when we stop controlling others (even thinking that we must forgive them), we leave them to God's care and set ourselves free.

Another thing that strikes me in God's words is the same thing that Jesus said on the cross: "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they are doing." People are really doing their best for their own level of consciousness and are responsible on that level. This is ever more obvious in our daily lives. So it's not for us to condemn or to forgive, because if we do 'we reduce ourselves to their consciousness' (as God says). We are only to leave them to God. "God, I relinquish them to You."
It's as easy as that.
Paula

Safe in My arms you're only dreaming.
