These thoughts are so helpful to me RIGHT NOW. I was reminded by a dear friend that I should identify with the Christ rather than with error. And your article certainly supports that. It is beautiful how Mind works and supplies our daily needs.

Thanks, All4Good, for your response. I was thinking today about three people in the Bible–Moses, David, and Paul. They were all involved in murders. They each made huge mistakes, yet that didn’t keep them from contributing greatly in later years. Moses’ Ten Commandments, David’s Psalms, and Paul’s letters to churches recorded in The New Testament came about later and have been immeasurably helpful. I’m so glad that those people didn’t focus 100% of their time thinking about what they’d done wrong. They learned, moved forward, finally allowing themselves to be useful to God and their fellow man.

We started catagorizing the blogs by subject matter rather than by author name as it’s generally more helpful to our users, but in the process we lost the author credit. We’re working on rectifying that. Thanks for the heads up.

Mark Swinney. The author’s name is usually in the small print below the blog, but I see it’s not this time. Sorry about that.

Thank you! This is SO good! When one’s sense of personal identity tries to say that “You don’t live up to that…”, or “What about the slip-up you made…”, or “Dooh! Wrong again!” It is really encouraging to pause, remember who/what is really in charge, and only then to move forward.

OK, there may be apologies to be made if others were involved but instead of sinking into the mire of falsely identifying with a personal sense of self and getting hooked on the guilt-trip of a “self-made mortal” that can never be right and instead to opt for the spiritual sense of self that is God directed, allows us to be re-made in the divine image moment by moment.
