What does this mean to me?
What does the World say?
What does The Lord say?
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."
John 15:13
Now I realize the Son denied himself by laying His life down for me so I would not face eternal separation from the Father.
He did this because He loved me so much that He wasn't going to let my DNA character flaws passed down from generation to generation originating in the Garden ruin me.
I must now pass on this Good News to others. Since God gave His Life for mine and saved me from myself how could I hold back this Awesome Gift?
I have to let everyone know the Secret to my Freedom from bondage and self destruction.
To continually overcome the same Slave Driver I must also be willing to give myself as a daily sacrifice to others through His Beatitudes knowing that He said, "when you have blessed the poor and hungry with you with your sacrificial love you have blessed Me!"
When I give myself to others as the Son did for me then and only then will I stay focused on the road to recovery.
This road to recovery is my willingness to walk the same road as the Son when He was on the way to His earthly destination to say "It is Finished! Father, into thy hands I commend My Spirit."
This road is called, The Via Dolorosa or "the way of sufferings." As the Son walked on this road carrying His cross of Self Denial for me I must also do the same for others if I want Freedom!
I also know I would not do this for myself if I had the the choice because I am powerless when I do things for myself. The Secret of my newfound Power is in doing for others first while getting nothing in return.
Now I realize according to the Ancient Scrolls my Higher Power is now my Father, Son and Spirit or three distinct centers of conscienceness in One.
To have access to The Father as a distinct person I must go through The Son as a distinct person. Then and only then will I be able to receive the gift of His Spirit who is not a force but also a distinct person.
Now I understand who the voice in my heart is leading me to the Son my Savior so I can have access to His Father who releases the Spirit to work in me and through me.
I must realize this is not a religion but a relationship manifested within a compound unity as: 1x1x1=1
It is this gift of the Father and the Son's Spirit who gives me dunamis or Power over my enemy.
I must keep remembering the Son telling His friends that He was going to be with His Father preparing a place for but He would leave HIs Spirit to be my Helper to overcome the Slave Driver with Dunamis
"...He guides me along the right paths for His Name's sake." Psalm 23:3
Just Go 180!
