Always be ready to
recognise a soul in distress. There are
plenty to choose from at this time of year and, it doesn’t matter where you
cast your eyes, there is always someone who is unhappy.
This is the fault of
a material world that is built on an ‘I
want, I must have’ culture.
It is all about
marketing. It matters not if you can
afford the apple of your eye as long as you can obtain credit and have it now
and pay for it later. Where has the
ability to earn your rewards gone?
Our Father in
Heaven, as the prayer goes, is not as generous as the credit card companies,
who pedal your salvation at extremely high interest rates. You are always allowed to say, “No!”
Our Father has an
old fashioned view of Mankind and the individual souls that make it up. He says that you can have what gifts you
desire, when you have learnt to appreciate their value and know how to use them
for the Greater Good and not just your own individual enjoyment.
Please be aware that
he is right! Even with the best
scrutiny, there are mistakes and a man or woman with a God-given gift, of shall
we say healing, starts to believe that they are doing the healing and the ego
grows beyond its reason.
It is by the individual
misbehaviour against the Higher Intellect that the ego of man or woman gets out
of balance and then the giver of all good things has to take away the gift and
that soul has to start to learn anew about being worthy to receive in perfect
love, what was on offer to them, which they abused.
In the material
world, the gift can be bought on credit without any questions asked as to the
worthiness of the receiver. As long as
they have the credit they can buy what they want and do with it as they may.
At this time of year
in many families there is a glut of expensive presents given to ungrateful
children, who soon tire of them and what something else! It is all a game to so many, as to what their
friends receive and their worth rather than what they can use for the Greater
Good.
The manufacturers
make vast profits in this way and the High Street is full of special offers and
the online companies make you feel that you cannot not buy their wares, because
of the seductive language and polished presentation.
While half the world
has far too much, the other half has far too little. There is a compromise here to be learned and
it is by following one’s conscience that balances the rights and wrongs that
were engrained there when we came to earth and were born into a material world.
The Scales of
Justice are a familiar sight to so many, but too often they fail to understand
their true meaning. The many who do
wrong, are always trying to escape their punishment by pleading innocence and
that they did not do anything wrong!
However they plead,
they usual don’t understand that the Scales are balanced in favour of right
living and right actions. Our Creator
made us to come here in balance and so He gave us freewill to make our own
decisions and a conscience to show us the right and proper way to live in
harmony with our fellow man, woman and child.
There are only two
ways to live on this earth plane of existence and that is to walk our pathway
towards our Creator and to grow in his light of unconditional love or to turn
away and walk into the darkness of ignorance, so that we can accumulate all
that we desire before we are enveloped in the blackness of our own ego and are deaf
to our conscience.
At this time of
festivity and choices, I say to you, “Turn
around and leave that darkness behind you and walk into the light of
unconditional love and receive the gifts of that spiritual nature to help you
give your love and time to those who need it most.”
We were given life
and love to come to this earth plane and make it a better place because we
came. We came to share and live in peace
and not to hurt others through our own thoughtlessness.
If we can take responsibilities
for our actions, then we will have learned a goodly lesson to build on, so that
we are the ones who give without thought of returns, but know that what we do
is helping another, who cannot help themselves.
See
the joy on their faces and let their smiles be your own rewards, as you feel
within yourself the satisfaction of giving and earning that warmth, which only
comes from giving unconditional love.
There
are so many souls who need to understand that they are not alone. Many feel lost and abandoned. Many have been abused. Others made mistakes all on their own and
went down a path of little understanding and need a helping hand from one who
understands, because once they went down that path themselves.
We
all have experiences and we all have a need to love and be loved, so that
sharing is a harmonious act of exchanging what we have to aid another in
need. Try and carry a burden or two this
festive season and put your own needs behind you, as you walk towards the light
and love of your Creator, who loves you unconditionally.
Can
you really find it in your heart to do anything less?
