a Sunday thought

 Upon thinking once again to yesterday's post, of someone who was rebuffed in a grocery line, I pondered, then came across this. It is as if God is speaking, and really, when we enter into a prayerful state, why wouldn't He? It's only when we listen and absorb do we fully grasp the context of what is said. Whether it be through another person or something we read, isn't it wonderful to know that God DOES hear us...and sends that Love to us in so many ways?

"God said: You are responsible for yourself and everyone near and far.

Whatever continent you stand on in your perceived world, you are responsible for every other continent you perceive or do not perceive.
Regardless of your awareness, you impact everyone and everything. Regardless of your consciousness, you and everyone everywhere in every time zone, in every period of history, you are responsible. That everyone is responsible does not absolve you from your responsibility. In fact, there are no others. There is you.
You have thought yourself powerless to change anything on the face of the Earth, and, yet, you are the most powerful being on Earth, and you are the turner of the dial of the Universe. No one can stand in for you. No one can take on your responsibility. Only you.
One who is selfish is blind. One who is self-serving is blind. One who thinks he can do anything he wants whenever he wants and to whomever he wants is blind. It is for you to bless the Universe. It is for you to bless everyone and everything you come near. It is for you to bless everyone and everything far. Everyone is you. It is you who rings the bells, and it is for you that the bells chime. You are the sender, the receiver, and the returner. You are the one who reverberates all the messages in the Universe and beyond.

Upon your shoulders stands the world. You are Atlas. Upon your shoulders, the world stands strong. Your shoulders are stronger than you know. You are the Greatness of the Love I have cast. You are the retriever of it. You are the one that holds everything in your love. And now you know your true purpose in life, and, now, you fulfill it.  Now you change the past. Now you change the present. Now you change everything. By one sip of My love, you feed the poor of heart. You revive the world to its natural state. It is you I have been waiting for. No longer are you to wait for Me. I have been waiting for you. Now you know that you are the welcomer. You are the bread I have cast upon the waters."

And so, in answer to the question yesterday of what should be done about someone who is so rude? The answer is quite simply this: Love. Love him for all of his faults and ignorance. Love him because just maybe he hasn't been the recipient of love and is in need of it. And then when it seems like it is all for nothing, somewhere down the road...that Love will be poured onto someone else!

Thanks be to God!
