and an acknowledgement of our own nature.

Unless we acknowledge who we are and learn what is true and good, we can never be led there.

The life review then is not for the sake of accusing and shaming.

Far from it.

It'll be to help you understand which things about your life have been aligned with God's

love and which haven't.

What's important to God may be very different than you've been taught or of thought. Here's a

description from the IAN's website of someone watching their life review in

the presence of God. I actually could feel the joy each person felt when I touched their life in a loving way.

I was getting caught doing something right for once in my life.

Reviewing my random acts of kindness gave me the most joy

because I was able to feel the difference I made in someone's life

that I hadn't realized at the time, and I didn't even know them.

Little acts of kindness means so much to God.

Also, I had to see and feel all the hurtful things I had done, even the hurtful things I didn't know I did.

I had to feel the person's hurt I caused. But God was not judging me. I was looking at my actions with

God at my side loving me while I was judging myself and believe me no one can

judge me any harsher than I already judge myself. He was asking me, what different choices could you have made? What are you

learning from this? This was clearly not the punishing God I had been taught to believe in.

The hardest part of this was realizing he had already forgiven me.

I was having a hard time forgiving myself.

He showed me that I couldn't let his love in without first forgiving myself.
