In a meditation last July Jesus said to the group I was channeling for: “All atrocities are committed by people with deeply broken hearts. And the only way to heal a broken heart is through an open heart.”
we are asked to keep our heart open even in the face of so much suffering. That is where we find our divinity—in the midst of our humanity. 💝
This resonates so deeply! That first "sin," that act of "disobedience" which is essentially unmotivated simply does not reflect the experience of our lived reality. We first feel pain, then act in ways that we imagine will resolve that pain, and when they don't, we push harder and harder. The sin is real, but the ground beneath it is where the healing can happen. Thanks, brother.
This may be my favorite writing of yours I've read. For me, it's making its way through my brain before I'll allow it to enter my heart. That is no doubt a conditioned response from not trusting something that is truly good because of religious trauma. There is no demand to contort scripture to reconcile what you've said. That feels first like a contradiction, then expansive. I'm committing to revisit this a few more times and let it settle. My inner child who desperately sought a loving God but only found a vengeful one thanks you.
Could never understand a loving God asking (or making) his Son go thru that. But then I never could understand Satan either, because in some stories in the Bible it almost seems like he’s stronger than God. The Bible confused me a lot.
“The human condition is not first a courtroom, but a wound” feels like the center of it. So much religion becomes cruel when it begins with accusation instead of heartbreak.
I appreciate this vision of Jesus not as an answer to divine bookkeeping, but as love entering the density of human grief without abandoning us there.
And Mary Magdalene matters so deeply here because she stays. She remains present where love appears defeated.
That kind of presence may be one of the holiest forms of faith.
Thank you, you describe the Teacher I’ve always loved, & who gently spoke to me in a vision once.🌹 Jesus taught forgiveness & healing. Sometimes healing is given just by being conscious & listening.✨
This line was especially striking to me, since I've been thinking a lot about (well, more precisely, just finished copy edits for my book about) prayer: "Prayer changes. It stops being an attempt to calm down an offended deity and becomes a way of opening the broken places to the love already moving toward them." Beautiful.

Yes ❤️
Absolutely Beautiful Truth ✨💗
This is a message that needs to go far and wide. Yes, it's not about payment but presence. Love, meeting us in the wound.

Me too🙏♥️

Everything you wrote did NOT.
I feel the same way. 🙏😁
The problem with the substitutionary penance theology is that it implies that God needs something (like a sacrifice) to go against evil.
But God is exclusively good and loving. Every sin literally dissolves into Him, without the need of the crucifixion.
Jesus said it: mercy I want, not sacrifices.
This. I feel the truth of this. Thank you!
Thank you. Right now the world truly needs these words.
Beautiful!
This moved me.

I very much appreciate you writing this, a transformational approach to the scriptural Jesus. Thank you

Brilliant! Opens up a whole lot of shit i never looked at before. [Yes, I meant to use that word...]
Using that word fit perfectly
So much of this resonates. Thank you for writing.
