Challenged to Understand

"When in doubt, be kind. It doesn't cost anything to be kind."

Joelle Rose Szlosek

It is challenging to understand why people act in certain ways.When there is negative behavior, we wonder what we personally did to activate such a response, rather than holding the person accountable.

Our effort to blame ourselves gives us the false assumption that we can control the upsetting situation. It is best to accept we will never totally understand why anybody chooses to do anything. The best response is kindness.

If someone we love is floundering, they surely do not need our judgment. They will redirect their actions when they acquire a deeper understanding. The best we can do is give them the benefit of the doubt, and love them best that we can.

 

Divine Spirit Does Not Respond as Fast as Amazon ...

"Today's energy encourages us to call on Divine strength rather than ego strength.

One is the true presence of love ... mighty and powerful.  The other, simply an 

illusion with seemingly temporary solutions."

"All you have to do is ask," says the best friend, the parent, the caring neighbor.  When we are in conflict, however, asking can seem like an unsurmountable task.  We are hesitant to show our weakness or error in judgment, feeling ineligible for goodness to bestowed.  

The Divine must share some of the same frustration, waiting for opportunities where humans will reach out.  The Divine knows our minds and desires so there is no surprise when we finally fall to bended knee.  The key is to be speaking from our heart, not the ego.

Divine Spirit is liberal in extending opportunities for us to stretch and grow.   Unfortunately, we as humans are waiting for 'just what we ordered'.  We expect Spirit to answer our pleading exactly as our ego thinks it should be and the sooner the better.  We are an impatient lot who rarely realizes the goodness Divine pours upon us, as we are not open minded about our resolve.
