​What is the Good News?

​Day 358 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises

THE GOOD NEWS
 
The Good News is
an understanding
and an awareness of
who we truly are.
 
We are love
and we are loved.
This love can never die.
 
Jesus overcame death
by rising from the dead
to show us this,
so that we  would
believe  in ourselves.
 
So, the Good News
is an ongoing call to believe
in the goodness of yourself.
It’s about you recognising
that you are a loving person
and a giver of love.
 
You also make sacrifices
for love and in turn, you too,
will go beyond death
and live forever.
 
The Good News is the
gift of eternal love
that asks nothing of you
but to believe in yourself.
 
With this understanding
and self awareness you can
do amazing work
in helping others and
in creating a kinder world.
 
These are the fruits
of the Good News,
the love that is each  of us
and the reason that we are here.
