“It can be but my gratitude I earn.”
We tend to project our own feelings onto God, don't you think? I
guess it's part of our illusionary training to see Source as
anthropomorphic, and so it's easy to put conditions and limitations on
forgiveness and gratitude. Seeing myself as a reflection of God is a
great first step in developing spiritual sense, but it's easy to think
that God is a reflection of me! I may feel that I can never forgive
certain things because they're just too bad. But God "is of purer eyes"
than to see these things. So there is nothing to forgive when I'm living
in Oneness. My beliefs may tell me I'm grateful that things aren't as
bad as they could be, but God's creation is only good. And so anything
unlike God, good, is unreal. Mortal mind, or ego, would tell me many
other stories, but I choose to listen to Truth. My gratitude, your
gratitude, God's gratitude -- it's all One and the same, as is the Love
which conveys it!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“When man is governed by God, the ever-present Mind who understands
all things, man knows that with God all things are possible."
