The Blessings You Give

               “One might wonder what being audacious in the eyes of God would consist of. I think perhaps the very first thing that God would do to be audacious would be to be about as loving and as caring and as embracing as one could possibly be. Now when one thinks of being audacious and being daring, one thinks of going forth into the winds of fate, as it were, with banners flying and fearless. Well, there is nothing that takes more courage or fearlessness than loving because that is the one area in which most people find it scary to be, in a state of love. Love seems to be something that most people avoid while they ardently seek it.

.             .. Let us suppose that you are ardently seeking to feel love in your life and yet your world is filled to the brim with busyness. You are more busy than you care to be. You don't ever seem to have two seconds of time to yourselves. Someone is always asking something of you. There always seems to be something waiting for you to do. Your world is so crammed with activity that, after a bit, you just despair of ever having a moment's time in which to just be. Does that sound familiar to anyone here?

               Now one might say, ‘Well, then you must clear away the clutter.’ But before you go throwing out bags of clutter, let us examine what that clutter might be. What is so filling your lives? Is it people who ask things of you? Is it situations that demand your attention to the extent where sometimes you feel weary of them?

               Let us examine that. Would it be that the people who are so demanding of you are that way because they find in you something of a treasure? They might not name it that. But is it because they find that from you there comes this love, this feeling of stability, this feeling that you can fix anything that might be broken, or that you are the answer, or have the answer to whatever might be beleaguering them at the time? And so, they call upon you again and again and again until after a bit, you begin to wonder, why is this person after me all the while?

               Now let us take a situation in which you are constantly expected to fix things, whether it be people, situations, whatever. You are constantly being asked to make something that is amiss, correct. That can get to be a bit much at times, can it not? Why do you suppose that you are drawing to yourself that kind of situation? Why are you drawing to you needy people? Why are you bringing into your experience situations that consistently require your utmost care? Why are you always the one who gets to be it in the game of making life a pleasant experience?

               Now remember, you will bring to you exactly what you desire to experience ,so let us think about this. If you are surrounded by people who are very needy and constantly want take a little piece of this and a little piece of that and a piece of something else out of your life, could it be possible that when you entered upon the earth, you filled your sack with blessings? And you said, ‘These blessings shall pass through me to others, and I shall be a blessing upon the path of life for many.’

               Could it be that you set about upon your task on the earth plane to of taking from your sack of love little gems that made people feel whole and well again? There were times when situations were overbearing on someone, and yet they could come to you and through you, through your word or your deed, you lifted some of the burden and brought a little light in their life. Could it be that you have chosen to share with others upon the path, the blessing of your light?

               Oh yes you do. I hear someone's thinking, ‘I don't have any light to give. I don't know what they mean by a light.’ It is the very essence of yourself, the Godness of you peeping through and saying to others in that sweet silent voice, I represent the most high. I look like an ordinary person, but through me there passes the blessings of my child of God to your child of God.

               Could it be that your home is a place where people find sanctuary even if they only stay for a few moments? Could it be that on your path, you have chosen to spread the seeds of kindness, of love, of caring, of insight, of understanding? And in doing so, have you not drawn to you, in this strange unrecognizable guise of needy people, a very strong and profound expression of God's love for you?

               Think, Beloveds, what do you give to others? For that is the token of love that will return to you again and again and again. Now where does audacity come into this? In this wise it comes into it: It offers you the opportunity to go forth, audaciously giving out with love, with the very presence of your being.

New Opportunities

               Now some of you here have found yourselves to be places that you perceive you would rather not be. Circumstances, it would appear, have forced you to place yourselves in a situation that you do not particularly care for, but you feel that is your only option. Why do you think that you are there? Because God has a vindictive nature? Indeed not. Because the angels are about playing little tricks upon you? No, no, no, no. We are not allowed to do that. Well, we are allowed, but we don't.

               Rather, it is because the essence of your being, your God-self, is needed there at this time because from you is pouring forth a kind of healing. While you may never know, someone or perhaps more than someone, is being touched by your life in their life at this moment in time. You may find yourself thrown together with a person who is as opposite of you as anything can be, whose presence you find almost antagonistic. They are uncooperative, downright nasty sometimes, and you go to work grudgingly because of them.

               Why do you think you are there? Well, you could say, they are my karma! Or you could say, ‘I may not like what they represent, I may not like what they say, but I know that I have enough God love in me to do two things. First, I can cloak them over in it. Second, I can lift myself up out of this situation so that I can be a blessing to this terrible person. And perhaps by being a blessing, I can cause them to be transformed and lift it up in some way.

               What about doing a task that you don't like? There are quite a few of you here this night who are doing tasks that you really don't like. But it is a living. Is that what you say? Could it be that you have drawn this experience into your life at this time because you need to bless that situation, bless that task, and transform it by the loving presence of yourself in it for this little space of time?

               What about feeling nowhere? What about the feeling that comes over one when something that you have long been familiar with, whether it be the presence of another, a job situation or something, is suddenly removed from you? And there you are dangling in the middle of the universe, and there is nothing solid underneath your feet. I know there are several of you here this night who can relate to that. Could it not be that you need this little dangle space for a moment? You need there to be nothing external to yourself to put your feet upon in order that you might discover that every strength that you need and every solidness and every feeling of absolute clarity comes not from what your feet are standing on at all, but rather from the internal self of you.

               For despite what you think, you all are very sufficient. From the within of you lies the core of your strength, the God self within you that can take you anywhere you care to be, and you have the right to be there. It can give you that feeling of audacity: I am a child of God. Therefore, it doesn't matter what the external world does because I am sufficient in that truth.

               Now this opens up a door of choice, does it not? You don't have to go and do something because that is all that is available. Now you can choose where you want to be. You can choose how soon you care to get there and by what terms you will remain there because you have that right. Love presents itself in every manner, every manner. And it is often difficult to recognize because what you perceive to be a challenged or an adversity is really, in truth, an opportunity wrapped in fish paper.

               Did you know there is a race of people upon your earth, the oriental people, the Chinese people, who do not have a word for challenge? Did you know that there is only the word opportunity? Did you know that? And something that you might regard as a challenge, they regard as either a good opportunity or a bad opportunity. But it is always an opportunity.

               Now supposing you take that into the realm of spirit. And you say, ‘Ah behold, I am being presented with the glorious spiritual opportunity to make my way in the world through love, through accepting this opportunity, and going with it from the spirit self of me, and being audacious in my child of Godness, and taking this opportunity to flower forth in the fullness of my being.’

               Beloveds, you live in a wondrous time upon your earth. For the vibrations are changing moment by moment. The new challenges, the new opportunities that will be presenting themselves to you have never been presented before. You will be experiencing for the first time in physical form many of the opportunities that will set the pace for the century (i.e. 21^st) that is upon you and soon to be unfurled. And how you do it is going to make the footprints in the sand for those who come after you. So do not think that love should be beat over the head. Indeed, it presents itself to you every moment of your time. It is up to you to meet love with love and to be audacious in the Godness that you are. So be it, indeed.

Love

“Love is the feeling of benevolence poured from one to another, from you to another, the desire that the other’s good is foremost in your mind. In other words, you desire greatly for them to be happy, to be joyous, to be fulfilled. That is love.”
