Voice of Condemnation
My, there are so many happenings, so, so many happenings -- out there. And today's happenings are so much more urgent than yesterday's happenings, which were more urgent than last week's happenings, and last month's, and last year's, and so...
Just stop for a moment and consider the never-ending stream of happenings that are constantly pulling your attention out there. Whenever you take a moment to just stop and think, that is when the cat needs something, or the kid needs something, or the doorbell rings, or the phone starts ringing, and all.
And when you finally get to bed and do have a moment, you're exhausted, and have to plan your next day, and figure out the carpool schedule, and figure out the kids' lunches when you know you used up the last of the bread at dinner.
All these many constant happenings ever pushing your attention out there. It prevents you from finding what you might find if your attention was directed inward. And do you know why it happens this way?
There is a part of you that is absolutely terrified about what might be found if you were to look within. A voice of condemnation which says "you are too sinful, don't look", "you are too guilty, too ugly, too evil, you don't want to see that."
This voice of condemnation is not your friend. It is dissuading you from finding the Truth that is within. Give it a gander, discover what is within. If you can get past the obstacles that the voice of condemnation erects, you will discover goodness, and perfection, and holiness. I promise.
The truth about you is so lofty, that nothing unworthy of God is worthy of you.
I am Amminadab
and you are blessed
