Forgiveness, Ch. One

The Great Spirit said, “When I lift you to the highest heavens,

"I Am there.

“When you climb, fall or are pushed to the lowest depths of hell,

"I Am there, too.

“When you slipped or will slip to the very threshold of insanity,

"you needn’t fear.

“You know I am trustworthy. (as long as you trust),

"you need not fear anything.  Anything.

“Go ahead and make Me prove Myself, again,

"if you so wish. 

“I challenge you to come up with any scenario,

“that is too great for Me to handle. 

"Doubt?  Don’t make Me laugh!  Alcohol, drugs, porn?

“Really? remember,

“it was Me who gifted you, with that tiny seed of faith,

“even when your willful disobedience,

“had killed your spirit, completely dead,

“Even then,

“I used My seed to resurrect you.  why?

“To let your spirit die again? 

“Hardly!  To take you back to the Garden? 

“Yes and Yes!

“First to the Garden of Gethsemane,

“where you sold me for twenty pieces,

“but, with that slight misunderstanding settled,

“on to the New Garden of Eden,

“where, unlike those former gardens,

“there will be no serpent,

“he is forgotten!

“I crushed his head with my heal, remember?

“Of course not!  You shouldn’t!

“he never was.  And, I don’t wish to create him again, ever! 

“Nor should you.

“he served his purpose, when you were tested, and,

“you laughed and said, “”Get behind me, you vile demon,

“”you have nothing I want!  God gave me everything!

“”i could ever need.

“”thank’s anyway, oh you slime! 

“”Good riddance, actually, lol.””

Then God said, “You passed, my dear child.  All is forgiven. 

“All is forgotten.  You and everything else beautiful,

“Have been recreated.”  You are brand new...
