Hello Lights, the following are thoughts that came to mind this morning.
What do I want? I want the peace of God. To have peace, I must teach peace.
While I was seemingly immobilized with the paralysis, I was no longer banging my head into “what is.” I was not trying to change “reality” to my liking. I was accepting things just as they were…. no resisting, no squirming, no fighting, no worrying. In letting all things be as they were, I was trusting,
I was happy. I knew that this “illness” was not God’s Will for me. I was looking for the witnesses that everything works together for good. I was seeing the witnesses for Love everywhere; being helpful.
I did not feel alone because I knew that H.S. was with me, and with others by guiding every thought, every person, every test, every outcome. Whatever is happening is working for good. Everything works together for good for my best interests.
As I looked at things and circumstances with “new eyes” I offered kind words, different thoughts to the people whose jobs involved “helping” others. By accepting God’s plan for salvation, I offered happiness (therein lies my peace) to others. I greeted the hospital staff with smiles, willingness, and gratitude. I found that being happy and extending light, was a gift to each person that was involved with my care-taking.
My “job” is to be happy—and extend happiness wherever, however it seems applicable. It is my part to turn every concern over to Holy Spirit, as it is not my job to try to make things work or to figure things out. There were some times when I was not at peace, not in joy. I would shortly realize that this was not the way I wanted to feel, that I had accepted the egoic outlook for some “outer” event. I would ask for H.S. help to see things differently or for correction in my thoughts. And because I was willing, I would receive the healing of His perfect perception. I felt blessed every day…. and learned that sharing joy is the true blessing; that love is extended in being happy.
I am currently practicing in letting go of old beliefs around being in a specific physical environment makes certain outcomes inevitable. When I returned home, I lost my focus on happiness, on my choosing to listen to the Voice for Love, on Holy Spirit’s insights. I lost focus as I allowed the old patterns of thought to follow suit, allowing the thread barren path of fearful thoughts to fill my moments. Everything became a struggle again; a sense of hopelessness evolved in me. I am learning that this need not be. Once again I am accepting the power of my choice. When I am not happy, that shows me that I have chosen wrongly. I choose again, having H.S. lead me, asking for correction, and opening my thoughts for healing, releasing the false thoughts of guilt. Choosing for Love is happiness, choosing for fear is unhappiness. Holiness is happiness.
I share this last thought from Mary Gerard’s <u>The Mentor Within</u>©—“Being capable of tolerating unhappiness is the best way to push God away.”
Blessings and Happiness to All!
