Who are you “Accepting?” December 17 Notes from Papa via Paul Gray
To My very special child, who I am particularly fond of,
You are learning how to see other people more and more as I do and you are enjoying more and more the blessing of seeing others respond and appreciate our encouragement.
You are realizing that it’s not your job to judge, fix or correct anyone. Your job is to let Me love them through you and as you.
People may sometimes initially come to Me because of fear, but that’s never what I want. My perfect love casts out all fear. There’s nothing in Me or about Me to ever be afraid of. When a well-meaning, but “religious” person tries to get someone to “accept Me” because of fear that I will punish them if they don’t, that other person is not accepting or responding to Me because I am unconditional love. They are “accepting” or responding to a fictitious “god” who does not exist…but they believe the lie that it is Me. Then I have to show them the lies that they have believed, teach them the truth about Me and My love, and help them unlearn all the “religious” junk that they have bought in to.
Of course I can do that… and I do! But I would much rather that people see the real Me to begin with. I want them to only and always see who I really am. I am unconditional love and I love them unconditionally. I like them. I am for them. I am continually working all things out for the good for them. I am with them and in them. They are not and have never been separated from Me.
I’m not angry or displeased with them… or anyone. The only thing that I am concerned with is them not knowing and not believing the truth about who I really am… because until they do, they will unnecessarily live in fear of Me, not knowing how much I love them and am for them… not knowing who they are in Christ and what I have already done for them. They won’t experience and enjoy My abundant life with Jesus, the Holy Spirit and Me.
I am totally and only about them knowing the truth about Me and them. When they do, then they are free to experience and enjoy life as I intended. When and as you see others as I do, then, together, we start them on the greatest journey ever… the journey of eternal life in Christ!
~Love, Papa
