What could harm the power and glory of God's Divine Love? A Love that knows no opposite has no opponent or ‘enemy.’ This is the meaning of True Strength. Having no enemy, the concept of ‘overpowering’ is meaningless to Love. For Love can only look on Love and see Its Perfection radiating Eternally.
The ego is the belief in vulnerability. It is the belief that something (anything) can be attacked or weakened or destroyed. Such a belief is but a vain attempt to deny the Eternal Union of Spirit, Which is far beyond the imagined world of the temporary. In fantasy, attack seems possible and defenses justified, but what is fantasy but an imaginary game that a sleepy child plays for a moment of amusement.
There is a time when disillusionment comes to the mind which deals in fantasies. And beyond this point a whole new world of glimmering light emerges within. The Vision of the Holy One is revealed as the veil of duality is parted, and beaming Rays of Light replace the world of perception. In the Great Rays of Understanding is God and Self remembered, whole, unified, perfect and complete.
Such is the value of forgiveness. Forgiveness parts the veil made to hide the Face of Love. Forgiveness brings healing to a mind fatigued with fantasies. Forgiveness brings gentleness to a world made harsh by lies. And forgiveness brings the glad tidings of Awakening, heralding the dawn of Wisdom Eternal. "When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him you will see yourself. As you treat him you will treat yourself. As you think of him you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself or lose yourself. Whenever two Sons of God meet, they are given another chance at salvation. Do not leave anyone without giving salvation to him and receiving it yourself. For I am always there with you, in remembrance of you.
Thank You God for opening the way and leading a lost flock back to the Awareness of Eternal Oneness. Glory to God in the Highest, and Good Will to all!
