| Posted 2/22/2007 9:20 PM (GMT -6) |   | I believe that God just wants us to own up to the misrelation that we have participated in.
Not to shame us...or make us feel guilty.
(That feeling is a symptom of an emotional response to our OWN judgment matrices!)
But so that we move from being SIMPLE to being WISE. (See Proverbs)
So that we can ALIGN with God's purposes and movements.
God wants us to CHANGE OUR PERSPECTIVES, not necessarily to FEEL BAD.
Now feeling bad may lead to the change of our perspectives...
Often, that's what may happen...
But it's not an ESSENTIAL PART of the whole thing.
Repentance can be EMOTIONLESS.
Just a recognition of misrelation...and an conscious commitment to operate differently.
Nothing more...nothing less.
God wants us to live in our power...RESPONSIBLY.
Metanoia.
Repentance.
CHANGING ONE'S PERSPECTIVE.
Yeah.

And surely I am with you always, even to the very end of the age."

I'm saddened that so many roadblocks have been placed between us and knowing who God is.
That's why God has ambassadors of the Divine Reality here on Earth.
To help show the way in perfect love.
That's what we are here for.
To be God's love slaves, who see Jesus in all people...and lovingly serve His Beloved in Him.
Love never fails.
It never will.
And to the extent that we utterly submit ourselves to the beautiful struggle of Love...
Neither will we.
