===='''''[[Resentment]]'''''====
You are all [[becoming]] a [[dynamic]] [[focus]] of [[love]] as you [[interact]] in the world . Your [[ability]] to [[influence]] others is directly [[proportional]] to your true [[spiritual development]]. The only way you can gauge your own [[progress]] is by looking into your [[heart]] an d [[perceiving]] how much love you have for your fellows. Ask yourselves, every week , if you are [[growing]] in your ability to truly love your friends. Ask yourselves, are you growing in your [[ability]] to be non-judgmental toward your [[neighbor]].

I want you all to [[think]] about where you want to be in [[love]]. Do you truly want to love every person you know and come in [[contact]] with? Or, are there some that you hold on to an inner grudge or [[resentment]] and do not want to love? Be [[honest]] with yourselves. Is there someone that holding a grudge against gives you some kind of [[gratification]]? I want you, in this [[moment]], to consider putting that gratification in your special bag that you give to [[the Master]]. Can you give that up in exchange for greater love, do you really want to love this [[person]] or these persons?

I want you all to think right how about taking this [[gratification]] and this [[resentment]] as if it were a [[physical]] thing you could hold in your hand. Be very specific, think of holding this in your hand. Now, in your [[mind's eye]], think about [[sacrificing]] this resentment and gratification, throw it into a [[fire]] and let it burn. This is your sacrifice. This is something you are giving up for [[the Father]]. And as you do this, as you let go of this resentment and the gratification that has kept you holding it, [[feel]] your [[heart]] open, feel that place that was taken up by this resentment now being flooded with [[love]]. Feel your heart's expanding, and in your [[mind]], go to that person , put your arms around them, ask for [[forgiveness]], and feel a new [[love]] within you pouring out to that person. Feel [[compassion]] and [[understanding]]. Allow yourself to understand that person, allow yourself to see them as God sees them, hurt, [[frightened]], [[lonely]]. Let this love come over you, don't withdraw back into the old way, keep your heart open, keep the love [[flowing]]. Feel yourself be [[connected]] with [[the Father]] in such a [[strong]] and protected way that nothing that person could do to you in the [[future]] or has done in the [[past]] can truly harm you. You are above it. The [[harm]] that person does or has done passes completely through you and does not harm you. Keep letting go, keep letting go, resentment, [[anger]], [[guilt]], are all falling away, falling away. Is there anyone having trouble [[visualizing]] this or [[experiencing]] this?
