Whatever is going on in your life is going on within you, and this too shall pass.
Consider life like terrain you pass by. Here are smooth rolling hills coming up. Here are rocks and tundra. Here are beautiful waters. Here are mud-holes. Whatever you may be passing by, you are still you, and you are still My beloved.
You are not the scenery you pass by. The scenery is the scenery. You are the passerby. You will get past the scenery. You do get past it. The scenery is a movie reel. You are not the movie reel. Just don’t take passing things too seriously which is the same as taking yourself too seriously!
So you get wet. So a little mud splashes on you. So you expect too much or not enough. Regardless, you do not make yourself a victim of what you happen to be passing by.
The sun does shine on you. I am in Heaven, and I do not pull switch and bait with you. I love and draw you to Me. What matter the crowds? What matter the rapscallions? What matter the considerate or the inconsiderate? What matter your moods except that they are yours to choose or not? Forget moods.
Go on your merry way. You are not stuck unless you say you are. What matters this incident or that one? What matters others’ wisdom or their ignorance? What is the importance of your moods except that you may pile them up and carry them around? They are cantankerous, your moods. Let go of them. They are not here to stay. They will mosey along soon enough. They are not so important to you. You do not have to keep them.
Just as Cupid shoots darts of love at you, you also get hit with brambles. Who is it who shoots thorns at you doesn’t matter that much. When you walk through rose bushes, it is not startling news that thorns may scratch you. They do not kill your body nor do they tarnish your soul. They are pin-pricks, no more. They are part of life. Life seems to have archers who shoot darts at you. Do not take the darts to heart.
Some people let you down. Every time you are surprised. Do not expect plaudits, and you won’t be surprised, nor will you feel discounted, beloveds.
Listen and respect yourself. See clearly before you. Don’t let little difficulties grow big. You exist. Perhaps you will do well to announce yourself. You are not shabby, nor are you in shambles. If that you are a Child of God does not seem to be evident to others, stand tall. Your Greatness is looming. You are growing taller. It is not for you to carry this humbleness too far. No one is to be overlooked or discounted, yet this also happens in the world.
You are responsible for how you are treated. Even if you are surrounded by nonsense, it is you who responds to nonsense or does not. Therefore, you are responsible. You are a mighty soul. That does not mean you have to be a mighty warrior or offense-holder.
When people are careless, it is their carelessness. Beloveds, you do not have to depend upon others so much, not even for common courtesy. How others accord respect to you or disrespect to you is not to be skin off your nose. At the same time, you are not to be debased for others’ lack of consideration. It is their lack, not yours, and, so, you rise above.
It is good advice always to move right along.
Neither repentance nor forgiveness is the issue. Moving on is the issue. Whether you are hopping from one rough stepping-stone to another across a stream or you are hopping from one beautiful lotus to another across a stream, the advice to you is the same. Keep going. Keep going. Neither look back with pain nor look back with joy. You cannot look back and look ahead at the same time in the Land of Time and Space. So look forward. The sun always comes out. Exit dark chambers. Flow on, neutral one, flow on.
