\u201cFather, forgiveness is Your chosen means for our salvation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Is forgiveness my purpose or just the means to salvation? Is Salvation the actual purpose for everyone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In class on Sunday, we learned of \u2018the Three Faces of God\u2019. As in literature, this idea says that we have 1st<\/sup>, 2nd<\/sup>, and 3rd<\/sup> person relationships with God. I am thinking of the 1st<\/sup> person face called \u2018the Inner Face of God\u2019. I see this as a path to \u2018wake up\u2019 the \u2018I Amness\u2019 to be in the eternal NOW. This is salvation, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n (I took time to reflect on whether this is the only way. I now can see how practices with focus on 2nd<\/sup> and 3rd<\/sup> Faces of God can also lead to Oneness, aka salvation.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n I tend to think that forgiveness is my purpose \u2013 the idea that this is my work in this life. But I see now that it is actually salvation. I am meant to return to my Father\/Mother (2nd<\/sup>), my True Self (1st<\/sup>), as well as oneness with All That Is (3rd<\/sup>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another way to consider this \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n The prodigal son makes a change to see his plight differently, going home as the means to help himself (aka forgiveness). He returns to his father with humility (surrender), only to receive the Love that was always present and non-changing (salvation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am conflicted: yes, I know my purpose OR no I don\u2019t know my purpose. I read so much about finding your purpose that I come to believe I don\u2019t know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Default purpose (that hangs in my office): to give and to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My personal purpose \u2013 lightworker is what I\u2019ve said of myself from spiritual travels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am a Holy Child of God, what purpose comes with this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n To shine my light! This I see as the role of a lightworker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I know that I don\u2019t do it \u2013 fear of being judged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just shine Tricia, just shine! \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let me remember what my purpose is. 9-14-2024 Love.
