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:
Do Not Dismay
“Do not dismay when it feels like someone or the world is plotting your demise. When you are lied about and all manner of evil seems to be upon you, do not dismay. Simply continue with your own understanding of what it is that you need to do to keep yourself whole and healed, full of my love and peace.
Let me fight your battles. You do not have to defend yourself. Nor, do you have to explain yourself. Your detractors will not listen so just keep silent and let me do the work. In your seeking to follow me, you will always have detractors. You may pass through difficult times if you are learning some lesson. But in your efforts to be genuine and authentic to the person you are called to be, you will be victorious. It may not look the way you imagined. You may have to give up some old ways of doing and being. However, it will bring you closer to your authentic self, your soul self, your genuine self. All of which adds up to love, peace and joy lived out into the world. And most of all you will grow in my divine love. I love you.”
Sometimes I feel like the cards are stacked against me and there is nothing I can do that it right or pleases the right people, or makes anybody happy. What is worse sometimes it feels as though there are those who are actually out to make my life more difficult and miserable. It is hard for me to put all of those distractions aside and remember that there is a divine plan and I need to connect to that as best as I understand it and just keep moving in that direction and disregard those who would try to get me off track. What do you do to keep yourself headed in the right direction when things get you off track? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below
