What is the Best Way to Overcome Our Pain?

          As we draw closer to Easter and the celebrations of a life continuing after passing from the physical body, we all need to take time to consider what this means to us.  It is a spiritual event and one that asks strong questions about our being here.

          Religions use their power over us by concentrating on the pain and suffering, which so often leads to the passing.  They do not always understand the spiritual happening when the soul is freed from the hardships of this world into a state of unconditional love.

          They are guided by the actions of men and not by the creating spirit of a higher intelligence, which is a mightier brain able to work in far greater ways than our own little one.  Through love we can link with that greater intelligence to guide us.

          We were given this life on this earth plane to experience emotions and make decisions that are not possible in a state of unconditional love.  Sometimes we may feel like giving up, but there is always a plan to strengthen and guide us if we ask sincerely for ‘God’s help. 

          When we pray or communicate with ‘Him’, even in our darkest hours, we need to ask to be shown the way to overcome our difficulties and, without harming others, to surmount our problems in such a way that we fulfil ‘His’ plan for us.

          If we can put ‘God’ first and understand that our needs and wants are subservient to ‘His’ will, we will receive the light that shows us the way ahead.  Then, in trust and courage, we will walk with ‘Him’ along that road.

          We are not here so that we can be punished or that our mistakes will cause us pain.  We need to understand that we are here to be happy in ourselves by helping others and not causing them pain or misery

          We have a Divine Right to choose our own pathway and not be dictated to by others.  In order to live in this way, we must take the responsibility for what we do and, as you have heard many times, “You will reap what you sow.”

          When I was asked who to serve God or Man, I said, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”  Do not be trapped but listen to your conscience and you will be guided into knowing what is right.

          We all need to live our lives as though it was our last day in this earth plane and that we will be returned to that Kingdom of Unconditional Love, where we will be invited to see our lives and explain what we have done to deserve to stay there.

As we suffer the pain that all will feel at some time or another, we need to be guided into the best way of overcoming the cause of it.  It cannot simply be removed, as it is there for us to learn from the experience and use that knowledge to help others.

We have not been abandoned here to suffer but to learn to overcome our problems.  It is through understanding why we suffer that we can find the way to deal with them.  If we learn to see the right way in truth to act and behave, we will find that we have the means to do so.

No pain or suffering is given that we are not able to be strong enough to bear it.  The strength of the spirit within us is the mighty gift of survival that our Creator put in each one on us.  We need to recognise this.

In order to understand where our lives are leading us, we need to communicate with that Higher Intelligence.  Can you imagine a mighty intelligence that is able to create a universe out of nothing?

In order to do that, unconditional love and undefined wisdom must be used for the greater good of all in this Universe and beyond.  ‘God’s being is so mighty that it has space to look after all the happenings everywhere, but also that compassion and understanding what we all need individually.

          Nothing is too small or unimportant that the Higher Intelligence isn’t there when called upon in love and honesty to seek the right direction for us to follow.  Our trust in ‘Him’ should be so strong that we are able to carry out what ‘He’ requires for us and for us to understand why!

          As you watch the Easter story, imagine that you were there watching it all and didn’t know the ending.  You could only see the step by step of a good man being abused and hurt on his way to his death.

          “Hasn’t he suffered enough?” you may ask.  Then finally it is done and the man dies and you go home with your thoughts and prayers.  No doubt you would discuss it with your family and friends.

          But this is not over!  ‘God’ doesn’t always tell you the purpose until you are ready to look back on what has been achieved.  This man was seen on Sunday morning alive and well and able to talk with his loved ones and his friends.

          The message is clear.  ‘God’, our Creator, didn’t make us to perish on this earth plane never to be heard of again.  Our passing isn’t the end, it is the beginning of the next phase of our lives when we will be healed of our pain and suffering.

          We will have a life to live in that next dimension of unconditional love and the opportunity to tell others still here about this life ahead of them.  When we pass, we will be able to tell them to trust in ‘God’ and let the wisdom of the Spirit Guides show them the way.

          “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”  Know who is the greater and live in the love of ‘God’ and I say Amen to that.
