It is not a frail journey that man would discover the nature of his wrath. As with known to unknown writ is merit set aside disclosed in agreement upon self conscious approved behaviour.

But these words find no settlement considered. That they be for whomever has been selected by another for understanding. So let it be plain.

Though I stand before the lives of men in word and action witnessed as amenable and acceptable does the nature of truth bare witness to a greater reality.

For against the realm of actual spirit and nature is not the image made by men of what he says and what he does a truth held in account before truth itself, but a mere image of what he thinks and feels is correct in opposition to what is true in his spirit.

As all who know the course of a lie, know with great measure that one may bless with their lips, while cursing with their heart. Likewise another may curse with their lips while hiding love in their heart. It may be so from secret pain, or may be so from the selfish choice to punish. What can be seen on the outside only man may interpret, knowing not the actual inside of the cup without long-suffering understanding and contemplation absent of pride but in humility.

This to why the powers of what is against life, and the powers of man who are against man and only for themselves, employ this game within those limits so that they so controlled by such know not of the level beyond the rules, but remain also so entangled by the limitations that they themselves could not discover them alone. Though it is folly before God who discloses all to whomever He wishes.

Even in the midst of an eternity of wisdom shared and the simplicity of the breaking of this bondage revealed by many before us, are our greatest minds perplexed to unlock the riddle of life and death. Looking always to include the nature of man, overlooking the nature of their spirit, because of the very game employed even by themselves. For no man can prepare a snare for another and not fall into it himself. As the true battle of life and death is not on the intellectual field, nor is it on the field of flesh, neither is it waged in the pulpit arguments of self righteous men.

So to the actual consideration.

Forgiveness is required for the life to continue, for all creation to be made, for spirit to be born everlasting, for peace to exist.

As forgiveness is not just a principle upon which we shall strive, but also the purpose of it. Not forgiving another does not leave us merely mired in anger, and self deceived, but to the greater truth it is flat-out destruction. There is no one we can hold a thing against that we in our spirit will not destroy and kill before God. Absence of forgiveness demands destruction. We do not merely punish, or ignore, or gossip as we see with our eyes; but for to the life of our spirit, which IS the real life, is our unwillingness to forgive a direct choice to destroy another in the eyes of all heaven. It is the life in our heart that is the measure of ourselves revealed to God. It is not the platitudes of our personality, the false manner in which we navigate the murky and childish game of earth life, for of these things ALL have done and do so that they may eat, which is a judgement of the flesh.

To hold one unforgiven is a pride we set above God Himself, and speak to God that we are greater than He. It is the way of the enemy of life. And though before our very giver of life, we ourselves claim right to judge another unworthy of forgiveness, claiming ourselves greater than God, just as the enemy of life did, are we yet still forgiven by God for such ignorant insanity. For the truth of the matter is authority over another life is not ours, and blessed that it is, for we are then able to be forgiven. But to our own life as we are given choice of our life or death…if we hold ourselves unforgiven, such cannot be pardoned, for who can pardon you when you with authority of self will not?

And by such act, as all have at a time held themselves unforgiven, are we ourselves witness to the truth that to withhold forgiveness is to choose destruction. For when we would not forgive ourselves, did we desire our own destruction. Therefore, any other whom we refuse to forgive, are we declaring our desire to murder and destroy before God. And they whom we instead desire to forgive are we declaring our desire before God to create, to produce life, to be everlasting in peace, and to be IN life with all life that God made.

Behaviour is a step in a good direction, but it is of itself not a truth. The truth rests in the heart of men which can also be witnessed by behaviour and effort, and words after careful witnessing in long-suffering.

Again, man and the enemy of life will speak only to the level that man’s heart is corrupt, and even the ways that seem right to him lead unto death… deceiving and twisting the simple and freely offered love of God… that to choose LIFE brings forth the spirit of God in our heart that does begin to heal us and lead us to greater forgiveness of all… and to not choose, or to choose death (which seems right to some) is that which leads to death. Choosing life produces life – choosing death produces death.

In our heart is the truth, and simply put our heart is our desire. It can also be said it is our intent. We always wish to choose our desire, even if we do not choose it, is it still true we desire it.

It must be made clear – that to choose not to forgive, is to choose death. Yet – we only need a desire to want to try to forgive to make our beginning towards life. No one plants the seed of a tree and harvests fruit the next day. As this choice is not in one moment alone and never again, but in every moment do we choose. We will discover things and others we do not yet forgive, but to desire to want to forgive them is also to choose life. To desire not to, is to choose death. We can ask ourselves why we desire to murder another before God who has forgiven us for our desire to murder another before God? For that is the pure insanity of our desire to destroy. And if we ask ourselves this, have we again begun to choose forgiveness, as only he who desires to try forgiveness would ask this to his innermost self.

None are perfect and without need of growth – but the desire for life IS perfect, and when we desire life we are perfected in that moment for God is perfect and God is life. Ever have a perfectly happy moment? We will not always choose life in every moment, this is why we cannot say we are perfect, nor can we BE perfect without God which is life and life is perfect. We begin to be made clean of our desire for death the moment we even desire to want to forgive, for desire is the action of the heart, and when we desire to forgive we have taken a spiritual action of love and love is perfect for love is everlasting as God is everlasting love. We make the choice, and God does the work within us of expanding His love – which is His.

As God – the spirit of living everlasting life, sees all, our words, actions and our heart – and it is in our heart where the battle of life and death is actually being waged.
