Great sages and holy men have taught us that we can talk directly to the Holy One, Master of the Universe and that we have the ability to listen to His answers and instructions.
There is a question that has been haunting most of us human beings ever since we were born in our vulnerable condition as infants. A question that has been desperately asked through the millennia.
“Why the suffering, the pain, the hurts, the loneliness, the fears? What is the purpose of it all?”
For years I have meditated on the answer to these questions that can only been answered from the Highest Source, the Supreme One who created us.
I can only know the answers by addressing this Source of all Life and Love, listening deeply and allowing divine guidance to flow into my awareness. These are the insights that came forth ever more clearly through all the years of my search, when I send my love to the One who created Heaven and earth.
Beloved Master of Creation, Beloved Friend to All,
Supporter of Life and All Good,
Why the suffering of mankind?
Go deep within My answer to this question. My answer – my pressing answer that waits to be revealed.
One explanation you have heard about the reason for suffering is that suffering helps you to grow.
“Grow for what?” you are asking.
I am with you at every moment of your pain, seeking to bring you the courage you need, waiting for you to understand. Suffering is here to teach you about courage, a valiant attitude, a strong spirit and discernment as well as compassion towards others.
You want to say: “Who needs courage? If life was only a bit easier and people a bit better behaved we wouldn’t need courage!”
The truth is, suffering helps you to grow. Difficulties in your life make you notice that you miss Me, reminding you to actually search for Me, perhaps as a child to a loving Father.
As you hold on to Me through your many life experiences, tests, challenges and difficulties, you grow in strength. Your connecting with Me, even through hardships, is what helps you transform the difficulty into a vessel for a more in depth perspective on life and living.
Let us look deeper. What is it that you really want in the depths of your heart?
Many are those that spend their lives running after material wealth and possessions. Others pursue careers, trying to make their mark on the world. Some seek notoriety, powerful control or honor. They are yearning for happiness, trying to fill the void they feel within themselves. They don’t realize that they are running after relative shadows unless their intent is to be of service. True happiness comes from connecting with My Source of All Beauty and Perfection.
Remember, I am infinitely greater than your every day perception of Me. Most people’s concept of Me is quite nebulous. Perhaps they imagine Me as a kind, but somewhat distant presence in their life. Seek to discover the real Me, the Creator of the many galaxies of this Universe. The truth is, real Me is so mind boggling, so infinitely beyond your comprehension, that if you were to approach My immensities in any way, you would be terrified!
This is why you are here to develop your courage!
And the love, care and compassion you chose to experience in your relationships will make you aware of My eternal loving-kindness toward all. With this assurance of My Love, you will dare to go exploring much further.
Consider: What do you really want, in the depths of your heart? Forever? What would make you eternally fulfilled and happy?
When you search deeper, you know what you are really yearning for. You know that you want to draw closer and merge with My Presence, with the all powerful, all knowing Mind that created and sustains all. You want to embrace My qualities into your own being:
Strength ~ Knowledge ~ Wisdom ~ Power ~ Joy ~ Creative delight ~ Mastery ~ Expansion ~ Lasting accomplishment ~ Peace ~ Positive choices ~ Eternal Love and Bliss ~ No small accomplishment! Yet, this is what you truly want and this is what I want to give to you –
You are here developing many of these qualities through all your experiences, as your own life stretches forth and serves as avenues of discovery through time.
You go through both the darkness and the light. While in the darkness, you search and long for Me. Your yearning and desire to be embraced in My Presence becomes powerful. You seek to understand. You strengthen your will to grow. You persevere.
This courage, this determination, this self initiative, this desire to learn and accomplish your best, this loving compassion you are developing towards others, will allow you to reach higher and even higher towards My infinite dimensions. You will persevere; continue to absorb My qualities without fainting, denying or giving up. The last trace of arrogance and complacency will disappear from you.
Please feel My Love, experience My compassion. Reflect it in your aspirations and actions. This is what caring is all about. It is a reflection of one of My own most essential qualities. Through caring and the courage to act on it, you are drawing closer to My Presence of infinite Love that sustains all.
As you choose to deal with your tests with positive choices and attitudes, you are making yourself a receptive vessel for ever renewed strength from your higher resources. I am the conscious energy within your brain and your heart. I know you more than you know yourself. I infill every cell of your body with life.
Choose to stay young, like children: Curious and eager to learn, to solve problems, to master new skills, to discover new avenues of knowledge, to connect with friends, to get together in joyful play. Children quickly forget about the hard bumps they experience on the way. They ignore the hurts of the past, for their passion to live and learn in joy at every moment is much greater. They are eager to become skilled, knowledgeable and grow strong. So can we during our entire life.
Please, beloved children, awaken to your great destiny with Me. I am here with you, just like a devoted mother watches her cherished toddler crawl, stand up and take its first steps. I delight in your every attempt. It hurts me to see you cry when you fall flat on your face. Yet I do not restrain you when you squiggle out of my arms and try to walk on your own again. I delight in you when you forget about the pain, laugh, and try again. I am so proud of you and rejoice immensely with you as I see you taking your first steps. What a victory! I love you eternally.
In the University of Life, learning takes intent, determination and perseverance. Choose your curriculum courses well. Appreciate your teachers. Tune in with My inspiration in order to pass your tests. When you fail some tests, just know you only need some more time to learn the material. Eventually you will pass them. Ask and ask again for the ability to love more, to love Me, to love people, to love your own life with all its idiosyncrasies and to love this whole creation.
There are many who have gone through critical health situations and the challenges of pain. Yet they said this was the most inspiring and crucial time in their lives, a time when they learned heart wisdom most deeply and appreciated their blessings the most. They were radiating love to all around them.
Ask and ask again for the ability to love more, to love Me, to love people, to love your own life with all its idiosyncrasies and to love this whole creation. Love opens doors wherever you go.
I created your beautiful planet as your stage where you can join the show and choose how you want to play your role. Your performance is being recorded. You will get to review it later on a “Heavenly DVD” when it is time for you to leave this world. All what you want to know is revealed to you on the other side. I promise you this review will be most fascinating as you will realize and know all what you missed and all what you learned during your lifetime. You will absorb, understand, and feel grateful for all what happened, and for every detail of your learning program.
At the moment, you only see what has happened in the past and what is before you today; My Plan stretches through immense expanses through time and space. Especially now in your times of growing global awareness, the pressure to choose Life consciously is increasing both in our personal lives and in the world around you.
You are entering a time of fascinating changes, discovering what is truly meaningful in your lives. There is a joy of service of God that is unfolding, reaching out to even those who are plodding along, oblivious of My intimate involvement in their lives.
Be the valiant prince on his way to rescue the princess of your faith in Me. Be the adventurer on the epic journeys of your life.
With Me, you are fortified, light, happy, and strong.
