New Beginnings

When we carry the past into the future, we are merely repeating our old perceptions.
When we forgive our old perceptions and are willing to see what is, we behold with new eyes.
Forgiveness is the gift of clearing our past perceptions.
Forgiveness sees a world new, filled with hope and faith and love.

What have we experienced that we cannot bless?
What have we experienced that still holds fear?
Who have we discarded with remaining ill will?
How have we lived that we feel lasting guilt?

These moments in what no longer exists, except in our memory, hold us hostage.
Where we have not released the lingering garbage of the past, we feel sickened and despairing.
When we will not choose to undo what we have held with false beliefs, we limit our faith.
The ways in which we are imprisoned in lack and limitation by our past deny us true prosperity.

To see the light of day, we must open the curtains of our consciousness.
To free ourselves from the prison walls of despair, we must use the key of forgiveness.
To suspend the life term of unhappiness and fears of failure, we must release our self made punishment.
To undo what was never really true, we must believe again in being new with each holy moment.

To bring the Light, we must believe in the Light within and wash the windows of our soul.
To share the Love, we must Love the One We Are with all our heart and mind and soul.
To live in Peace, we must offer Peace to everyone, but most especially to ourselves.
To create the Good, we must see and know the Goodness within our own Kingdom.

I am loving you and me as One entity, One Holy Essence, One Place of Sanctuary and Hope.
I am serving Us, the Unity of all Humanity and the Harmony of All Creation.
I am enjoying the Joining in Songs of Praise and Thanksgiving, the real reason for our living.
I am co-creating Heaven on Earth in me and in you and in All as we forgive our miscreations.

And this we do together…..because we Love.
This we see together….because we are the Light.
This we know together….because we seek only Truth.
This we celebrate together….because we appreciate One Another.

Loving you and me and all as One,
Betty Lue
