“When you can’t put your prayer into words, God hears your

The last lesson I must learn in life is how to dispose of
self-recrimination. My guess is, the need will especially arise just before
death because that’s the very time that the need for self-forgiveness will be
greatest because I’ll have a whole lifetime’s worth of screw-ups on the
scorecard. Put it this way: God longs with a yearning that transcends space and
time that I accept His prodigal forgiveness. And that can’t happen unless and
until I offer/accept my own forgiveness. The only ones who complete the trip to
heaven successfully are the ones who travel light. And that means jettisoning
the garbage of self-recrimination that heaven obviously finds utterly
intolerable.
