Exonerated

Morning Meds; 4 30 19

My spiritual journey has put me in many different spiritual states.

I’ve gone from youthful innocents, to damned, to forgiven, to exonerated*, to a new something I lack words to describe.

Most importantly, I know I am unconditionally loved, and the fear invoked by all the previous states is gone.

*I was taught that I was hell bound, not for my actions, but for my inherited state of being born a hopeless sinner.

Makes me think of Steve Martin in The Jerk where he said, “I was born a poor Black child.”

When I realized that the Whomever or Whatever in charge, most likely isn’t some type of racist, who would damn someone for something that is not a fault or for something they had no say over, I concluded I was exonerated.

Being born a human, at no fault of my own, is not a crime demanding eternal damnation.

For me, this realization opened the door to unconditional love.

It also closed the door to hopelessness.

This has been my experience; I’m not wanting to step on what someone else believes.

It is just what I needed it all to get me to realize how loved I eternally am.
