Sometimes, Hard Decisions Have to Be Made

God said:

Know this. Dreams do get fulfilled. They get fulfilled, or your dreams become better than before. Or, the dream may vary. If it stays as it is, perhaps your motivation has changed. Perhaps now your intention comes from a higher place.

This reminds Me of the story of the two mothers who came before King Solomon. Two mothers each claimed that the child was hers. When King Solomon offered the possibility of dividing the baby in two, so the story goes, the true mother said, “No, let the baby go to her.”

Earlier, her motivation had been her wish to have her baby back. After King Solomon’s response, her higher wish was for the child to live a long life. What she wished for another became more important than what she wished for herself.

We could make another scenario for this tale. Perhaps the one who relinquished the child was not technically the birth mother, yet was she not the true mother? Or perhaps she was or was not the birth mother. Perhaps she simply spoke more quickly than the other claimant.

In later times than Biblical, the birth mother of a child might sue for her rights to the child and win and take the baby away from the only home the child knew and where the child had been loved and happy. I do not ask you to judge, beloveds, for there is no percentage in judging.

You can look at something in the short haul, or you can look at it in the long haul, and, either way, you do not know enough to know answers beneath the surface that at present seem so clear to you -- or so obscure.

You might ask: “How can it be right for any child to be taken away from its happy home?”

Whatever a person thinks, he is usually positive he is right. How could it ever be right to take a child away from his home where he is happy?

And so it is also asked: “How can leaving an unhappy child in an unhappy home -- how can that be right?”

I mention all this, beloved children, because a part of a story is not the whole story. There could be a case where a mother loves her child enough to send him away. This is a hard test for any mother who is looking out for the welfare of her child.

Do you know what? It doesn’t matter what someone else thinks of your situation. When it involves you, you may well have to see further than all those who do not live in your shoes. In the world, everyone is an expert on everyone else. Everyone is certain what someone else ought to do. They know what they would do, of course. They know until one day when they may find themselves in the same situation.

Even so, no two situations are alike. There are heartbreaking situations, and heartbreaking decisions that have to be made.

And what is the intention? For whose sake are decisions made?

There are many cases, some more drastic than others, where a decision that is not one’s dream has to be made, and you are the one who has to make it. Do not think you are making a callous decision. You may well be making the best decision that, given your choices, can be made.

Sometimes you are faced with a question: “What do I have to do that is for someone else’s good here?” And then you bite the bullet and make the decision you have to, like it or not.

In life, it may well be that there is no choice you would like to make, and yet you have to make it.

I don't understand, relative

I don't understand, relative to me what was the sacrifice ? From what and for what ?

Dear Robbie, I like to talk

Dear Robbie,

I like to talk about your questions. As I understand it God encourages us to open up our view on to a higher perception. As the loving mother in the story does. Sometimes you have to choose the best you can, without comparing to others and their decisions. This answer I found about these phrases in this Heavenletter:

"Perhaps now your intention comes from a higher place."

"I mention all this, beloved children, because a part of a story is not the whole story."

"When it involves you, you may well have to see further than all those who do not live in your shoes."

"Sometimes you are faced with a question: “What do I have to do that is for someone else’s good here?”

You may call it sacrifies. I read it as "coming from a higher place".

Does this help you?

Your responses -- wow, I

Your responses -- wow, I love them.

Yes, God has told us earlier that we are NOT to sacrifice.

Robbie, the mother who gets hit by the car trying to save her child from did not sacrifice. She wanted to save her child. She did what she wanted to do. The same with a fireman. He doesn't think he is making a sacrifice. He can do nothing else.

Robbie, I'm not sure what you mean, dear one.

Love, Gloria

I am wondering why God gave

I am wondering why God gave me a miserable life (which is worse than you can imagine) when there is multiple happy possibilities which are preferable. To me my life is unjustifiable, even the end doesn't justify the means

Robbie, I'm so sorry life

Robbie, I'm so sorry life has been so difficult for you. Maybe it has for everyone. Of course, in the world, it's all relative.

It's been said that our thoughts, our way of thinking, our feelings, what we dwell on make a difference in our lives. It is my understanding that we are not victims. We create our own lives. God gave us free will. To blame God is to put the responsibility for our lives onto Him.

Did you read the following Heavenletter, dear one: Your Thoughts Reach Everywhere
Heavenletter #4595 Published on: June 24, 2013

All blessings to you, Robbie.

Love, Gloria

God himself gave me this

God himself gave me this pain, as predicted by many people in my life and before my birth foretold this;God himself did this to me and its not justifable, if I was meant to learn a lesson. There are a multitude of ways more pleasant to teach me, along my journey. With regard to this heaven letter. I do not see how metaphorically this was for my best interest.

Dear Robbie, please excuse

Dear Robbie, please excuse me my erasing some of your message. Take a minute to read the guidelines for posting -- see it at the top of this page?

I asked you to tell more, and you did just what I asked, and I do thank you. I understand how you feel.

There is a recent Heavenletter -- it may not yet have been published -- that says so clearly -- (I paraphrase here:)

Don't make God a fall guy. It is too easy to blame God.

You are not the only one, Robbie. We all have thought and perhaps said: "How can God do this to us?"

Whatever happens to us in life, we are now responsible. The question is: "What do we do now?" We have to point the finger at ourselves.

You mention that many people have addressed what you see as your situation, and they agree with you.

I would like to say something different to you, dear Robbie. You have given a lot of attention to what "ails" you. Better to move on. Even if you perceived your situation differently and didn't believe in what you believe in, the answer would be the same. God says it enough: Get out of the past. Let go.

Put your attention on what you want. Please stop putting your attention on what you don't want. Start over, Robbie.

Whether what you believe is true on the Earth level or not true, the answer is the same. Better to give importance to what you want. Otherwise, you stay where you are.

I know you want to move beyond this. You don't want to spend your life feeling helpless. Our thoughts are powerful. Your thoughts are powerful. So long as you keep thinking these same thoughts, you will get what you have been getting.

God bless you, dear Robbie. God does bless you. He blesses you with a great deal, not the least of which is the ability to move out from the past. The past is an old state of consciousness.
