Welcome to Friday Food! A little bit of food for your soul…every Friday. For the next few months, we are looking at “Downloads from Heaven”. In these “downloads” we are contemplating what it would be like if we got a message from God (however you understand God). We will be exploring messages from God about pain and suffering and healing and blessing and love and peace other topics too! When you read these “downloads” you will notice that they are in quotes. This is to help you think from your heart NOT your head. Don’t get caught up in whether or not God, (however you understand God) actually said these things. Just let them speak to your heart. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Here is today’s download:
Comparisons Don’t Work
“Comparisons don’t work. Don’t compare your life to another. Just make sure you are doing your best to listen to my voice in your life. Don’t be surprised if what you hear is not the same as what someone else hears. I love everyone the same but not everybody has the same needs. Not everybody needs the same miracle and not everybody needs the same kind of healing. The only thing constant is love and it comes in a variety of ways and forms so that the wounds you bear may be healed. The only formula for listening and hearing is to love me, love yourself and love your neighbor. Each person must learn for themselves what that means and how it will heal them. This is a vigorous task and there is no time for distractions by those who would criticize or distract you. I love you.”
People always want to put God in a box. Follow these rules, don’t do these things, say this prayer, the list is endless. But God (however you understand God) doesn’t fit in a box. God’s love is all encompassing for people like me and you and people who are different from me and you. So don’t get caught in the comparison trap. Nothing compares to the love of God. It is for everybody even people you don’t understand, who are different from you or as Jesus calls them, your enemy. Let me know what you think in the comments.
super all the way. thank you.
