"A
physical scar, if it is in an obvious place so others are constantly in
view of it, many times carries a very depressing psychological effect on
the bearer of this scar. A scar covered by clothing often creates a
different degree or type of self-consciousness, or even modesty, because
of the innate personal disapproval of such a scar. Depending upon the
degree of the scar and other things attached to it, ego can play an
important part in cosmetic appraisal of one’s own self.
Furniture
has scars, trees have scars, many areas and portions of the land have
deep scars created by the elements or nature. Everything in existence
can be vulnerable to bearing scars, some very obvious, some hidden, some
totally obscure from view. ‘Perfection
has no scar’, and it is quite a rarity to be able to determine that
something physical or material is without a scar of some sort.
To
enter the Kingdom of God we must be flawless, with no scars of any kind.
Of course, this refers to the condition of our Soul. Every sin, every
impurity causes a scar upon our Soul. Reparation to purify the scarred
area is positively necessary to erase the scar from our Soul. The human
mind finds distaste in a scarred body, and finds it sometimes difficult
to live with. If we could only train ourselves to not accept the scars
we cause upon our Soul through our impurities, we would begin to live
totally for God’s Will to be done by us.
There
is no better time than now to begin to correct any scar already upon our
Soul, and to dedicate our life, our will to God with the total
commitment that we will not allow another scar upon our Soul. This
is not impossible for any one of us. The success of such a
commitment is based upon our own will, our line of decision,
and of course, the foundation for this is our own effort regarding
self-discipline and self-control. It is not a miracle when you do
not sin, it is your decision, and your decision does
not carry the Supernatural Presence
that determines a miracle. It all stems from your own will, your
own self-control, your own self-discipline.
At
the end of this Retreat, self-commitment, self-control, self-discipline,
should be your promise to God in a contract that only you can break,
signed by you to hand to Him one day, never broken, never scarred, but
pure in every way."
All Revelations
are delivered spontaneously and continuously as witnessed by all those
present at the time.
