Circumstances in Life
Will you take My hand and be My friend in sickness and in health? Will you love Me? Will you love Me with a love as unshakable as the love I hold you in?
That I love you with all My heart means just that. I love you with total love. Despite what may befall in life, you do not lose My Grace. Can I, as well, stay in your good graces no matter what life may deliver to you?
It is not that I ask this of you for Myself. I ask this of you for you. It is helpful for you to stay with Me whatever may occur in your life. I stay with you regardless of what you say or do. Stay with Me the same.
Life sometimes offends you because of your attachment to otherwise. You believe that this, this, and this have to be so. In your evaluation, certain things are allowed to happen, and certain things are not. Life does not always concur with you. And, then, when you are dealt a different hand, you become lost in suffering to the point at which you do not know the difference between joy and suffering. I am saying that sometimes you enjoy your suffering, for it makes you the valiant long-suffering hero of the show.
You really do not need suffering in order to know joy. That idea simply is not true. Yet as soon as you impart restrictions on life, you curry suffering. When you see life as obligated to deal you the cards you like, you will resent the cards that life hands you. You get your back up. You become angry or forlorn, and, seemingly, express or hide a vendetta with life.
Life is innocent, beloveds, as innocent as you. There is that in life that you cannot understand, that may not be possible to understand. It is not understandable in human terms. And yet the un-understandable comes to you, just the same. Do not understand then, and also do not think that a deliberate offense has been done to you. There are matters you cannot fight. There are circumstances in life that you simply have to go along with. Death is one of them. Anything you perceive as loss, including untimely loss, is one of them.
I know that there are experiences in life that, from everything you know, are terrible, unfair, unfathomable, outrageous, regrettable. Yet what does stamping your foot accomplish? What does wailing accomplish?
There are matters that you can change, and there are matters you cannot. If you want to have muscles, you can work out. If you want to will someone who has died back to life, it is unlikely that this is under your will. If you want someone to love you who does not presently love you, is there any way to make someone love you? No, beloveds, you can't force anyone to love you.
Here's an important point: Despite how you feel, there is no one's love you have to have but Mine. And I will never stop loving you. What happens in life, and how I feel about you, may not be entwined. Do not equate disappointments in life with My love for you. My love is independent of what occurs to you. Let this be true for you as well. Let your love be independent of what life delivers to you, and keep loving Me.
What gain can there be in walking away from Me? What possible gain? And why would you try to separate yourself from Me? It is futile anyway, for I go with you regardless. There is no going away from Me, beloveds. Why try? Give in. Concede. We are inseparable.
