Changes

Human beings pretty much invariably feel more [[guilt]], feel themselves to be less [[worthy]] and feel that everyone else is ahead of them somehow. You feel that you have more to feel [[guilty]] about than other people, more to be ashamed of, more to hide away and not let anyone see it - you push it back into your mind where it is forgotten. But, all things must come to [[the Father]]’s light. There is nothing that is hidden that will not be [[revealed]], nothing that is unworthy of His love, if it is part of you. The Father’s love reaches all human beings [[eventually]]. The Father’s reach extends completely through you. There is nothing that is truly hidden, nothing that can remain so.

Leading a life of the spirit is not an easy road. It is a road that requires much, it is a road that does not allow you to take any short-cuts or to re-route your [[path]], for the Father gives [[everything]]. Once you have made the [[decision]] to know God and become increasingly filled with Him and therefore to [[become]] like Him, each [[obstacle]] must be [[gradually]] pared off, and like Jonah, you may run from place to place, cross the seas, [[change]] jobs, [[spouses]], towns, and you will find at each new place the same sets of [[problems]], the same repeating [[cycles]] of behavior until you open those inner boxes and [[reveal]] the things that are hidden to your [[self]] and to God. The Psalmist wrote, "create in me a clean heart, Oh Lord," [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Psalms#Psalm_51] and this [[sincere]] longing must be true for every person who [[desires]] to know God completely and without reservation.

The Psalmist of long ago, asked God to come into his heart, to open up the hidden places and to [[purify]] and cleanse those things which are impure, those things which are like a [[secret]] [[sin]] that has been locked away from God. "Come into my heart, clean away all those things which require cleansing, [[change]] my [[feelings]], my [[attitude]], my [[ideas]], my [[life]]. Create in me that which reflects Your spirit." This is truly the way of the spirit, these are truly the steps along the pathway. To truly enter the [[Kingdom of God]] as the Master put it, you must allow all cleansing, you must allow all that serves you not to be left outside, you must be willing to be [[born again]], to see life with new eyes and to live life thereafter with a clean and [[pure]] [[heart]]. Now, this is not to say that the cleansing [[process]] itself is instant, or that you will not find need of periodic cleansing after your first experience, but you are willing to allow this, you are willing to stand [[naked]] before God with nothing hidden, nothing set aside that will be brought back. The delight in [[righteousness]] that we often speak of, comes with this [[process]]. Your moral sense will be deepened and broadened, your love for others will be limitless, you [[patience]] and [[understanding]] will expand and you will delight in finding yourself a human being on a small planet, on the outer edges of [[the universe]], just beginning a great and [[eternal]] life. The spirit itself will instruct you. It is not enough to follow moral [[laws]] themselves, but rather to expand your own moral sense in ways that the Father will show you, in new ways, in exciting chapters of your life. Be willing my friends to open your [[hearts]] completely everyday and ask the Father to create a clean heart within you. Are there questions at this time?
