LOVE, THE HEALER OF ALL PAIN

Various thoughts and interpretations from my April 4th readings: 

God Calling: When the Word flashed "I love you" to the two listeners, understand that very I love you is what is always present to everyone, everywhere, always. Ah, but it is most likely to be hearable to those who choose to maintain a conscious contact with God.

The first line, I am all-powerful and all-knowing and I have all your affairs in My Hands, is truth from My Soul to my conscious ears, i.e., mind. The I is I within me, the I Am that I am. Its truth is making its way from my inner Self now...it feels like it is coming from my brain, but my brain is just relaying My message.

The 23rd Psalm: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me means goodness and mercy as interpreted in God consciousness...our rues, regrets, remorses, our glories, our sickness and health, everything...shall follow us all the days of our life and is good. All manner of things are good in God consciousness. 

The Sermon at Matthew 5:14-16: You are the light of the world....Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. This is not about speaking at all, but about letting our good speak, shine, so those good works can and will give glory to our Father.

Fr Richard Rohr's April 4, 2020, Daily Meditation: The feeling of 'things should not be this way' is an additional and unnecessary pain on top of our inevitable suffering. We cannot avoid old age, sickness, and death, but we can remove the unnecessary assumption that things should be otherwise, and the psychic pain this assumption causes us. *** When we are willing to be transformed, we stop wasting time theorizing, projecting, denying, or avoiding our own ego resistance.

That affirms love in God's world is all there is. Feeling scared? What needs love more than fear? Anger...yeah, that too. Blue...oh my yes.

We remember, or learn again, that the hardest thing life will ever ask of us is that we change our mind. The surest way to do that is go to God for God and that is all...and there it is, love, the healer of all pain.

Thank you.
