We tend to forget this, because we tend to regard God as a judgmental God that expects us to fulfill His expectations of us. We tend to feel that in God's presence we must conform to His will, and that we will be punished if we do not conform. We regard God as an imperfect but all powerful father image and fear His displeasure. We fear God's presence because we do not understand God to be Love, rather than Judgment. We can not accept God as Love because we do not want to accept the judgment of Love which accepts us and affirms us as we are. We want to perfect ourselves first and then present ourselves as perfected, but not just yet. Love passes judgment upon our desire to perfect ourselves before letting ourselves be accepted. Love passes judgment upon our immature desire and bids us sacrifice it that we may come to know Love in the eternal Now, not in a perfected future. It is hard to give up the notion of self-perfection and accept ourselves as accepted before we perfect ourselves. We can not accept that we will never merit acceptance, and so reject unconditional acceptance which would free us to be genuinely ourselves. We prefer to try to conform ourselves perfectly to some incongruous conception of what we should be. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
