The sun is love. The rain is love. Every iota of nature is love in action. Yes, even the big aspects that are sometimes scary. They, too, are love.
And guess what? Human beings are a part of nature, too, though they like to think of themselves as above all that.
Each and every one of your fellow humans is sacred love in action. Yes, the disguises are pretty good for some of them, yet we steadfastly hold to this truth. God's love can take some pretty interesting forms. (smile)
The point we want you to get is this: Choose to view and greet everything around you as a manifestation of God's love, no matter how contrary to this it may appear.
When you encounter a particularly ugly example, one that offends and distresses you, don't reject it, love it back anyway. And honor it because it must be there for an important reason, performing an important function, or God wouldn't be doing it that way.
We're not saying to let the madmen have their way, simply that you should follow your own level of consciousness and your own beliefs to take actions that are right for you...but do so with love instead of hatred in your heart.
Your recognition that all of this is within God and representative of same is a powerful aid to the Universe in getting past the ugliness and hatred you witness on a daily basis. Your seeing God in the midst of this speeds the healing and harmony that are our destiny.
There is love behind the hatred. There is beauty and harmony beneath the ugliness. Can you see it? Keep trying.
We love you regardless of what you look like and what you act like, good day or bad. And we honor and bless you as we perceive your God-self peeking out at us.
Pay it forward, please.
Namaste.
I've been struggling with this message. There are so many painful things that happen to so many innocent people, and when it hits close to home to someone we know and care about, it hurts us, too.
ReplyDeleteThis happened to me just after this message came through and was published. Let's just say it's really hard to philosophize when a young person you know has been harmed.
And the question comes up, how can abuse, humiliation, bullying, intimidation, etc., be a form of love, God's love? To what purpose? What could possibly justify the massive misery on this planet?
I think I found a clue this morning. I offer it in case you, too, are stuck where I was with this teaching.
"There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go."
- Richard Bach
I hope this helps.
