This is important, because speaking them or acting on them fortifies them with our belief in their validity. That is the opposite of forgiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, speaking from and acting on our choice to awaken strengthens that choice. It also sends a message regarding our sincerity to the creative principle, which results in a stronger response from Grace, one that is equal to our sincerity. This is why Nisargadatta Maharaj said, \u201cstrive for the coveted Grace with sincerity and honesty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sincerity is more than a mental decision or emotional feeling. It is living from one\u2019s convictions free of pretense, deceit or hypocrisy.<\/p>\n<p>You cannot fool the creative principle. It responds to you as you are actually being in mind, heart, word and deed.<\/p>\n<p>Are you ready to \u201cstrive for the coveted Grace with sincerity and honesty\u201d?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The gift of Christ is all I seek today.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As you read and contemplate today\u2019s lesson, also contemplate your sincerity as it is defined above. Do this without judgment. We aren\u2019t interested in finding ourselves guilty, lacking or bad. We are simply interested in determining if there have been limits to the Grace in our life, because there have been limits in our motivation to live from our decision to awaken.<\/p>\n<p>If we are limited, Grace responds in a way that is equal to our sincerity.<br \/>\nLikewise, if we remove all limits, Grace responds in a way that is equal to our sincerity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meditation Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/awakening-together.org\/dev2\/inspiration\/meditation-audios\/\">Guided Meditation Audios<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLKSRjOAxGeaM6NnEm1EtkamBUB2QZww9R\">YouTube Meditation Playlist<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Second Coming?
