As a product of religion God would be incapable of acting outside of the thoughts, intents and purposes of the creature. Indeed, if god is merely the product of religion, man is free to shape god to suit the purposes of that religion. Furthermore, in this system of belief we must also assume that God never intervenes in the processes that involve man.

CONSOLATION is an incredible word in the context of God as our LORD relates with us in our affliction. As we human beings might console each other in our afflictions, God also consoles us, collectively, as we enter into the consolatory work of compassion. We get to learn it is his will that we console another with that which we have perhaps only once received ourselves.

Sometimes we forget what has to happen to get the full benefits of rejuvenation. One day in late fall I acted brutally. At least it looked as if I was acting brutally as I chopped the stems of plants left in the garden down to the ground. If you were there with me, you would have heard me saying something like, “I’m sorry for doing this, but really I am doing you a favor. I am making it possible for you to stop trying to take care of greenery that will be dying soon anyway. This way you can put all your energy into going deep within and preparing for your finest display ever next spring.” Now my bluebird is tapping on the window saying, “Come out and see the results of letting go, so growth can happen with more abundance.” Those plants I chopped down to the ground are already green and growing. Yellow, white, orange daffodils bob in the breeze, as the tips of ferns, peonies, and hostas break ground.

Every positive force in existence is what I consider God, as every negative force in existence can be considered the devil. To take a concept from the second book to “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill called “Outwitting The Devil”, and paraphgrase it with a whole article, Every good force in existence is what I consider God.

We see life as a lottery to win, a car to acquire, a home to buy, a family to build, and a career to develop, with status to attain. But such meaning for life is never really life, because we never get there. We are never truly satisfied with what we have. There is always something over yonder. The thing attained is always nice for a little while, then there’s a quick departure into a hankering for the next thing… this is not TRUE life.

CALAMITOUS endings can have the most salubrious of beginnings. We have to lose it all, materially, before we can truly grasp the fullness of life spiritually. Don’t worry if you haven’t lost everything yet – you probably never will. But if you do, and still many experience grave losses, there is a paradoxical hope that stands to reverse the order of things, to catapult you into great advantage for the very things suffered.

Your belief in a thought from the unreal ego wrong mind is what you are learning to forgive in A Course in Miracles (ACIM). Belief is intangible as it is nothing more than an agreement or investment of the mind in an particular idea or thought. You use choice to invest belief in the ego thoughts which harvests the power of the mind into the miscreation of this world. It is your belief in these ideas that is in need of forgiveness and what makes forgiveness appear difficult. Decision making in the mind is what you use all the time to believe or not believe any thought at any given moment. This choice ability is where you have all the power to choose between Heaven and hell.

Granted, there are as many vengeful quotations in the bible as there are forgiving ones. Still, Jesus, not only overwhelmingly preached forgiveness; he lived it. He forgave those who pounded him and later killed him. He excoriated the rich but did not exempt them from partaking in the forgiveness of sins through death.

An excerpt from “Maybe I’ll Count the Stars; A Parable.” “Reach out, take my hand and stand again, for this day I have set my hand again, and you have received all that you forgotten when you were created; this day you have received the knowledge that you are never alone, that you exist as a miracle, and that we have always been one.” “Take my hand, walk with me and dream your dreams again, dream without fear of failure, dream knowing it is already done and that every image of failure is only an illusion. And even on the darkest night, look above you at the promise of the coming new day as the starlight dispels the darkest path. Know that I am with you even then.” “Be still, and know that I am with you always.” The master walked away from the hillside, the sun shining at his back. A hush had befallen the entire realm as the master spoke.

If grace is the cause of the free gift righteousness, then our degree of personal performance could not be the reason for our acceptance with God. The perfect obedience of Christ, both in his life and in his death, is the only grounds for that acceptance. This is justification.
