Brothers and Sisters,

I have seen the goodness that lies within each person, as they live in this world. This goodness is an intimate part of your nature. It is the sign that you have been made in the image of God. It is the mark of the maker.

It is common to wonder why God is capable of forgiving everything that is done, one to another. Even after one believes that God will forgive such things, one does not understand how God could do that. In light of the record of human behavior, it is reasonable to wonder this. Once one has seen the goodness that lies within each one, however, one understands perfectly how God is capable of forgiving everything.

Do not assume that it is acceptable to God or to yourself to act in a harmful way, toward oneself or others, believing that because God will forgive all, it does not matter. Do not use God's grace in this way. It is not a license to harm. There are only two kinds of deeds in this life: the deeds one commits before one understands one's nature, and the deeds one chooses after one is self-aware.

Make every effort to act in such a way that you will be unafraid to admit to yourself and to God, anything. This is the way to peace in this life. Have faith in God, and in God's magnanimity. You do nothing that is not seen and understood by God, much more clearly than you see and understand it yourself. Thus, you should surrender everything you do to God. All is holy, holy, holy.
