My God is one of Love. Love is a great Power to heal. If God were all about condemnation and judgment, I would not be doing very well. Love, on the other hand, knows my secrets and bad habits, and forgives with compassion. Why not just be a god of condemnation? Because Love wants me to grow to be my best self. If my God can forgive, then I can forgive myself. Is this some easy way out? No. Condemnation of myself fills me with shame and guilt. I cannot grow with that emotional energy. I might do the right thing at the moment out of shame and guilt but that would be all about fear. A fear-based life goes nowhere good. If I can love myself in my imperfections, then maybe I can love others in theirs too.
