Martyrdom Is Not Your Calling

God said:

Beloveds, now it is time for every single one of My children to let go of blaming others for the straits you find yourselves in. Others may not have been ideal, yet it is not for you to blame anyone for a situation you are in. Rid yourself of the idea that someone or anyone is out to get you. If you look over your shoulder all the time, you are relegating yourself to what you perceive and may perceive amiss.  
 
We don’t argue that you are innocent and that you don’t deserve whatever it is. We don’t argue that you have to let go of being victim, for, if you are victim, what is there for you to do but to accuse those who victimized you, or you believe did, or really did? Regardless, where is the benefit for you? You may be absolutely right in your innocence, yet where does that get you?
 
Eliminate the word blame from your vocabulary. It just doesn’t get you anywhere. No matter how limited someone has been, you are the one lighting the fire that you attach to them. I assure you that those you hold responsible for whatever you hold them responsible for are not focused on you. You may have given your thoughts and your life over to thoughts of them and others that you see as you see them.
 
Whatever may occur, others think they are right, just as you think you’re right to accuse them of malfeasance. How foolish of you not to let go of the past. You have to let go. Don’t glue resentment to you. Why let everything untoward get under your skin and fester there? Why give over your life to your thoughts about others as if you have no life and responsibility of your own?
 
I am aware that sometimes you think of Me as a bad guy. It is hard for you to forgive Me. You want Me to you give an explanation of how I could have let something hurt you so much and so you feel fervently that I let you down as if I have gone out of My way to disappoint you. You count so much on Me to prevent life from hurting you.
 
You have to bounce back. You have to let go of enmity and resentment. No one can be responsible for your recovery from hard-heartedness. Hard heartedness is the same as a closed mind. You may feel that no one is going to change your mind and get away with it. You are firm about that.
 
Beware when you are certain you have everything figured out. If you are so certain about the parts others must play in your life, your mind is closed along with your heart. You are not the arranger of what other people must be and do.
 
By and large, you are mistaken. You are mistaken in your judgment. Even if, by some stretch of imagination, your judgement happens to be correct, you still have to let go of your judgments. Do you really want to spend your life sparring mentally with others – or with Me?
 
You do not run the show. You may have even given yourself over to your summations, and you hold strongly to the unfairness. Hold on, and you certainly will incur more unfairness.
 
Anyway, what is it that you must take so seriously? What are you reliving, and why do you want to? It seems like you keep tying the knot around your neck tighter and tighter. Every affirmation of how badly you’ve been misunderstood and treated by others continues the pony show. You can feel vindicated by how badly you are treated and how mistaken others are about you. What you may well be doing is jutting your chin out and asking for more as if your being mistreated satisfies something in you, makes you feel self-righteous and, so you hang a sign on you that establishes that you are born to be a victim.
 
You are not born to be a victim. If you are a victim, you are perpetuating yourself as a victim to yourself. Sometimes, dear one, it is you who don’t understand. I tell you frankly: Martyrdom is not your calling.

Wise Words

On March 21st, 2015 Laura D Philips (not verified) says:

Yes wise words, this is really inspired. I was just writing about martyrs and stuff in my personal journal today and this is just one more of those supernatural coincidences that i so need for faith and hope....love, there is never a question, but I do have questions....

I had one question long ago that if I were to be a great writer, what would the book be about?

Well some writers talk about the injustice in the world and perhaps they are responsible for the martyrs.

My responsibility is to make stories with happy endings that make people remember that divine essence, that obvious hand of God at work, those things that just happen at the right time for no reason, unlil enough of them are there that yes there is a reason....but how easily this world and its troubles makes us forget that all works together for the Glory of God. I don't care how many times you may have seen the most amazing works of God...no one is above losing faith...no one is above losing hope....and if one is not aware of the love of God, it's almost as if God's love does not exist. When God saves us from such a mire, it is forever obvious....

If I do any writing that I ever put serious effort int to edit and publish, I finally got that question answered. I will write about any old thing, all the scraps and bits I gathered and so valued on my adventures that contrast with the obvious lonely nerdy life of a writer...

it can be any old story as long as I keep my characters straight...it will be about how there is a good and bad side to everything, which is why martyrdom may be good but bad for me, and the essence will be that divine synchronicity.

I wanted to be a writer from childhood but was reading childrens books. I started reading again two years ago after a long break from reading and...first I read everything. Now I only want to read the best. I want to be the best, like every actor in hollywood, for God and others. And I will give it a go if I ever stop writing on facebook, here and my juournal. but the essence of Gods' love in the story...with.a love powerful enough to move someone to tears...and if I have not the art to do that and build characters a person cares about....well there will be the obvious coincidence..the hand of God.

Every great book I read is like this except the sad endings. They can happen to anyone, but death is not the end....and therefore sad endings misrepresent life...art may represent life, or life art....I want my art to represent life, and on the other side give life...through happiness, motivation, encouragement...the reasons life is worth living!

I have been called autistic by a doc and jI have no idea if my writing will amoutn to anything special--only that all the good we do, every bit ,counts. and so does good intents. Every struggling actress is a star. The ones who fail usually try harder. They are heroes to those mature enough to see.

As for doing art, one has to give it a go, and until there is validation one always has questions, not self doubt, but need of advice? sometimes there is no one who can even give qualified advice. and some questions remain unanswered even when we ask.....maybe we ask again....who cares?

LOL mysteries are fascinating flamengo oranaments on God's front lawn....I just thank God I am not called to be a martyr, and that forgiveness comes so easily to me. I thank God for that, for with the anger I feel sometimes, and evaporates quickly....one of my greatest assets, I believe, whether or not appreciated...I appreciate it, it is not of myself, so it is not pride to believe one has a gift. we are all important to God love joy peace

Laura, a few quick comments,

Laura, a few quick comments, dear one.

I have learned so much from Heavenletters. First of all, my need was so great.

This is a most powerful dynamic question you ask:

If I were to be a great writer, what would my book be about?

I would love everyone to ask themselves this question and answer it as many ways they would like to.

Had I been asked that question even 20 years ago, I doubt that I would have thought to answer anything like Heavenletters. I am going to write a blog on this. It is a fascinating question, Laura.

Here are more outstanding points you have made:

...all works together for the Glory of God.

I wanted to be a writer from childhood.

I want to be the best for God and others.

[If I succeed it will be] the hand of God.

all the good we do, every bit ,counts.

it is not pride to believe one has a gift

There is more interesting material in what you write as well.

Here is one more I would like to present the gist of what God has said.

You wrote:

Don't we all love "experiences." We can get high on them!

God says that experiences, as much as we like them, we do not need them for faith and hope.

We have God for that!

Thanks for posting so thoughtfully, dear Laura.
