Daily Signet

Growing up, listening, reading, I found that even with my most definitely not-fundamentalist upbringing, it made me angry that people seemed determined to reduce the God-of-all-the-universes into a petty tyrant who cared about jots and tittles. 

God cares only that we be who we are—that we perform the magnificent works we came here to do. 

My transgressions are against myself—self-abandonments of me, shoddy workmanship in the manifesting of myself. 

How can I atone? Simply by coming back to center—to Self, forgiving my own sin. The danger? People do forget the way back sometimes because...of severe rebellion or stupidity. But God has planted the seed of light in us and eternally sprinkles breadcrumbs on the path home.
