Kindred,
Accept yourself.
You have an innate light within, born from the Lord and with good purpose.
Once you recognize the responsibility of purpose and care
of character, you will no longer feel powerless to determine your own destiny.
If you do wrong, take responsibility. Blaming someone else or something else removes
sense of responsibility, but not the sin.
And that sin will never be removed or cleansed until there is confession
of sin, remorse for the sin, repentance of sin and atonement of sin.
Responsibility not power connects the innate light
within yourself to the determinants of your character, your heart and your soul.
