BE KIND TO YOURSELF

When you begin to realize that there is no judgment in GOD (ref. the Prodigal Parable--the father’s response to the son’s return, where none of his failures were held against him), there will no longer be any need to continue to judge yourself.  Instead, be kind to yourself. The father’s response in the parable represents the TRUTH of how GOD sees us, requiring us to begin to relate to ourselves in like manner.

Whenever you observe yourself as being less than DIVINE, simply be kind to yourself, and let it go.  The fact that you are able to reflect upon these shortcomings is not to judge them, but to release them.

Do not beat yourself, with yourself, over yourself--forgive yourself.

Developing a new pattern of being kind to yourself in all situations, will bring you more closely into alignment with how GOD relates to you, and begins the process of letting go of those things which cease to have value, and the embracing of those which do.  As a new pattern of kindness begins to develop, you will also find yourself extending it to those around you.  The world then begins to be a kinder place.  Your state of mind will be reflected in your outward experience—a welcome change.  No matter what the situation, be kind to yourself, and then extend it to others.

Because we have chosen an experience of limitation, all our interactions are conducted within that framework, both within and without.  Simply remember that these limitations are not an accurate reflection of our TRUE state of being.  When you happen to miss the mark in any encounter (100 percent accuracy is unlikely), simply be kind to yourself. Kindness applied to yourself and others is the only correct response to that which appears to be our self-imposed limitations in the light of our TRUE REALITY.

Welcome yourself home, as the father welcomed the son, regardless of the situation.  Then extend that welcome to those you encounter.

Party on.
