A New Journey
Today is a conjunction of your life. Today is where your whole life is pinned together off to one side. All the corners of your life are gathered together the way the hem of a fancy ball gown might be pinned with flowers. The past is gathered, pulled to one side, and now there is a whole new start to today, you, and your life.
The past is gathered together in one piece so it is out of the way. You don’t have to step around it nor do you have to start where you left off. You can start anywhere. The past is not about you unless you insist it is. This is a new slate before you now. No matter what labels have been stuck to you, today you have a new start. Today is a whole new day. In this sense, you can undo the past. You can make today anything you want, for the truth is, whatever build-up from the past you have accrued, you can drop it now.
Today you have a new start, and I suggest you start anew. Whatever thoughts you have had about yourself, start over. A new beginning. No matter how wonderful the credits of the past may have been, today you are starting a new journey to the New World of Space and Time.
The Old Book has closed, and today a New Page is open before you. All the past has drifted off somewhere, filed away, and yet not kept. You are free today to be as you want to be. If your life has been beautiful, today your life is yours to make more beautiful. If the past has not been glorious, today is perfectly willing for you to make it glorious. Today is innocent, as innocent as you, beloveds.
If you have limped through life, today you can dance. If you have sung sad songs, today you can sing a happy song. And why not? Why stick with the same old songs? If today is a new day, why not a new song? You can make it up as you go along.
Do not feel you will lose your place in life by doing new things today in a new way, or even doing old things today in a new way. You can take the same bus or take a new bus or walk or skip or simply be a new you on the same bus.
Why not surprise yourself and others by enjoying today? Why would you prevent yourself from having great joy today? You were meant for joy, so why not have it and give it and have it and give it again and again today?
Do you really think that I keep an old book of records and look you up on it? Do you really think that I keep an accounting of all your thoughts and acts, a list of merits and demerits? I do not. I am not a bookkeeper. I am a Lover. Love keeps no records. Why would I? Why would I call you to task? Why would I go there? I am not like an accountant. I am God ever as I have always been. I am not caught up in the past.
How could I tell you to let go of the past unless I Myself let go of the past? It isn’t even that I let go of the past. It was never My idea to keep it. It is not My style. I keep My heart and My vision. I never lose sight of them. What is the past to Me? Where I live, there is no time. Where in Eternity and Infinity can the past be kept? Past-keeping is an activity of the world. Why oh why would I even consider hanging on to the past even if I could? Of what use is the past to man or God?
