WE ARE THE KEEPER OF THE KEYS

[The following is a slightly reworked reprint of my blog of December 31, 2014.]

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.... from The Lord's Prayer

That passage is the only one in the Lord's prayer in which we commit to doing our part...all the rest we're just stating our expectations of the Lord. Letting him know he's got his work cut out for us. But on those eight words hang all the rest of the prayer...all the rest of our lives in fact.

Broken down to the specifics, the prayer states:

thy kingdom come

thy will be done

give us this day our daily bread

forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us

lead us not into temptation

deliver us from evil

I submit if we live to forgive...friend or foe, known or unknown...Thy kingdom is ours because Thy will is being done through us.

We will be forever fed by that forgiving heart which cannot be led into temptation, and we are thereby delivered from the evil of our ego -- in a perfect world.

Ours to remember: We are the keeper of the keys to that perfect world.

Thank you.
