Divine Messages: A Journey Through the Workbook for Students
March 9 - Lesson 68

 

Lesson 68 - Love holds no grievances. 

    What really surrounds us right now is Light and Peace and Joy and Love. Unfortunately most of us spend most of our time believing in the darkness that surrounds us. Seeing the people, the places and the things that surround us, going here and there, doing this and that, is an engagement in the belief of darkness. None of it is true but the ego mind wants to hang onto it. The ego mind wants to hold onto the belief of darkness so that it may block out the Light from its awareness. It does this very well for it does not know the Light because it is not Light itself. The ego is made of darkness because it is darkness itself. Fear is darkness period.

    The Light that shines forth from your true Self surrounds you all the time and you can catch a glimpse of it now if you like. You can try to behold the Light within yourself so that you may recognize it as your Light if you want to right now. The way to do that is to follow my instructions as I have given to you in the Workbook Lessons very carefully. Spend time with them. Soak with them. Think about them deeply. Think about each word carefully. I have chosen my words very carefully to help you and to help myself for I am not complete without you. It is just as important for me to help you to awaken as it is important to you. I am helping you to help yourself but it is your choice whether you want to help yourself now or later or not. You can delay yourself from awakening as long as you like. You can wallow in pain as long as you like but eventually you will choose to return to God. I invite you to continue to practice doing that now. The Light of Christ is within you. Finding it will save you and others thousands of years of the illusion of pain and suffering. Would you not have this gift for yourself now? Practice imagining yourself in Heaven right now. Practice opening up to the awareness of the Light that you really are right now and I assure you that it will begin to happen because it is the Father's Will for you, it is my will for you and it is your will for you. God has blessed you. Would you accept your blessings and inheritance now?

Amen.

 

   When I look at what "grievance" means to me, what comes is the idea that I have had an attachment to a desired outcome, or an expectation of some sort. When someone or something doesn't do as I had planned, then I have resentment and anger, a grievance. Also, if I am in the space of judgment, then I am holding a grievance. The more that I walk the middle path of non-judgment and release all attachments; the more I can experience peace, the more I can experience that I am truly safe and held in the Arms of God. The more that I practice this and feel the results; the more I want to continue the practice. I am attached to this world. I have expectations and judgments all the time, even if I do not recognize it. That is why I see the world as it is. I can see beyond the world to the truth within. I can experience the truth here and now. It is a serene way to live my life. That is what I truly want. I want to walk about my day and truly sense that all is well, all is as it is to be. It is a process of acceptance and allowing.

 

   With my willingness, I accept the truth and allow the Holy Spirit to lead. As I step into His guidance, I step into and embrace my radiance. As I practice each day, it continues to build the foundation; the foundation of Love that strengthens me and so surrounds me always.
