"Our mistakes do not destroy the love in which we were created. Though I have made mistakes, I atone for them and accept God‘s release from any continuing consequences. His mercy is built into the structure of the universe."
I used to sit too often alone at the corner Starbucks and draw write or talk to strangers in my journal. Having moved here I didn’t know anyone. In attempts to get to know here I made mistakes. So yesterday I bought a small Mr. Potato Head toy for Toys for Tots box there. Well, I was too late it was gone. Another mistake. So I took the toy out of the box built the toy and gave it to the Barista staff for all the times in or after mistakes I still felt happy stopping in there getting to know myself and this city new ways. Playfully, rebuild after attacking myself about mistakes it helped.
A profound meditation, thankyou Marianne. A persistently error I encounter is to blame myself and carry guilt into the continuance of my life.. This limpet sticks to me and imprisons my creativity and ability to experienc joy. More importantly I lose confidence in my ability to make things happen. There's a subtle insidiousness ithat I believe is actually an excuse not to be all I can be. Why? Fear of suucess at all levels. I can be crippled by anxiety based on negative imagination. To be truly free and be of meaningful service to others I must love myself., and, in humility, accept that I am human and I make mistakes. I need to instantly forgive those mistakes and make amends if it's neccessary. Then I can keep moving, and growing and help others do the same. Dwelling in guilt achieves nothing, and it's actually a self conjured nonsensical state, I KNOW God loves and forgives me on a continuous basis. My Faith is strong and need to constantly remind myself that I am, , strong, intelligent and extremely capable. Self love must never falter. I refer back to a previous comment "Feelings aren't Facts". I intend to have a full and meaningful day today and make decisions, take action and spread Love.

Marianne recited this thought rather hurriedly. I hear this as a call for love.
...and His mercy endureth forever.... I've always loved how that sounds. Thank you for reminding us of God's grace.

Awesome! Most days I am my own worst enemy. Must forgive myself as well as others!
Just exactly what I need to hear today. Much gratitude.
