There is a difficult truth which answers a lot of your questions by sharing how we have confused the words of Jesus and why we truly attack ourselves even while espousing love.

It is found in A Course In Miracles but the original scribing needs to be read. It is called the Urtext and was typed at the hand of the man who brought the work forth by his frustration and belief that there must be a better way to get along in the world than constant bickering.

There are many opinions out there about it but you must listen with the inner guidance of the voice inside that says you are worthy of all that God is as His Son and anything less is false and unreal.

I continue to testify of what I understand the peace that I found that cannot be challenged by the world.

My inner witness is that strong.

I am a non-traditional Christian because I know Christ IS as God created Him, perfect and that He is ALL of Creation seen and unseen.

There is so much more. You know deep down that God IS. He will reveal Himself if you let Him and trust that you do not have to sacrifice anything accept what is false.

Blessings always, debi.
