We do not have to create good. We do not have to persuade God to be Love, or Life, or Truth, or Intelligence. We do not have to ask Him to remember us. We do not have to ask for any more good. God has already filled the world with infinite good, love, life, truth and intelligence. Fundamentally, evil is a false belief that there are limits to the power and availability of God’s goodness.
If we draw down the shades in every room in a house, that house will be in darkness, and is likely to become damp and unhealthy as well, no matter how brightly the sun may be shining outside. Salvation consists in raising these shades and opening the windows; then He does the rest.
…walk as children of light (Ephesians 5:8).
It may be hard for us to grasp that we do not have to create the good in our lives. Because humans are creators, doers and fixers, we tend to think in terms of what we can do to create good or fix bad. In reality, what we have to do is get our “selfs” out of the role of doer and become an instrument of God’s doing, fixing and creating.
When we raise the shades of our consciousness and perception to let in the light of God’s will and spirit, we then become God’s children in that we look to God instead of to ourselves.Then we will walk in light, filled with the infinite goodness and hope of God’s unfailing love and protection.
In the true light,
