Early on in my experience with Jesus’ presence, I was expressing my self- judgment and disappointment about how I so frequently found myself returning to my ego judgments. He listened patiently , then said, “It would be helpful to remember that in your thought process you have only two choices. You will either experience the peace and love of God, or nothing is happening. In neither case is judgment or disappointment justified.” Another succinct reminder, “Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists.”
