Neale Donald Walsh There IS a GodOnewhoislove
5 min - Apr 13, 2008Years ago, I learned, through an experience that I had, that there is, indeed a Purely Loving God and that loves and cares about us, as a Divine Creation as long as we want It enough.
Some will experience It through an act of desparation through prayers of acceptance, surrender and the giving up of the "I" ego which comes from not seeing and knowing yourself as a conduit of a Divine Source and thinking/believing that "Well it's all coming from 'me' " which is really false pride.
THIS MUST BE DISPOSED WITH.
For all that see this video, I would suggest the following;
Prayer along these lines;
"God. I humbly offer myself unto to thee to build with me and do with me as thou wilt unreservedly placing myself under your care and protection to ruthlessly face my sins and have you remove them root and branch that I may best serve You."
It doesn't matter how you precive God to be at the time so long as the idea is expressed with the utmost and innermost sincerity, because you have to be willing to follow through on some things.
Write down your resentments on paper, weather it's people, institutions or principles your list will include all three. The list should look like;
I resent ______ because _______
This affected my sex life? My monetary security? My self esteem/pride, ego, honor? My ambitions? My personal realtionships? All of these?
Where was my fault in each situation.
Where was I selfish, self seeking and frightened? You should find that in each case, we did things to set the ball of distruction rolling ourselves.
We did things that caused our wife, husband, girl friend, or boy friend to cheat on us, caused our parents to disown us or not support us in our endevors, our employers to fire us ect.
And please note that word "fear". That word has touched every fabric and fiber of our lives. An evil and corrosive thread shot through our very exsitence which set things rolling toward our distruction.
As I said we must be absolutly willing to look at ourselves on paper to ruthlessly face our sins. The inventory is one's own and not the other persons.
Having gone through the course of our lives and seeing where we were at fault we will need to confess our sins to a closed mouthed individual, such as a priest, pastor, guru, whatever spiritual advisor you may have, even psyciatrist or therapist. Each case must be talked with at length.
Ask God to remove our defects of character.
Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings
We proceed to make amends to those we have harmed.
I can write about this at length and it needs to be covered that way and I will do that on another website, but suffice it to say that care and common sense are the keys here we don't want to be a foolish and hasty martyr that would sacrifice others to save their own skin and this involves a number of areas in question.
9. Continued to take a personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve concious contact with God.
Carry this message to others.
This outline and plan for living has worked for me for years now and I'm sure can work for you if you just give it a shot.
With Love; "O"
