My dear friends, we love you so very much.
As
so many of you watch the recent natural disasters we want to remind you
that the greatest way you could ever assist those who are suffering or
in pain is to love them. This love can come in many forms. You can pray
for the individuals affected. You can, if you are guided, contribute to
the organizations and individuals offering relief. You can sit in a
chair, and ask God to show you one individual who needs extra love and
then imagine wrapping them in the embrace of your own loving soul. You
can send letters when efforts to receive that kind of love are
available. If you are in the area you can volunteer your time or
services. Of if you are not guided to assist in these ways you can
simply pour love into your own life, knowing that the greater number of
individuals who choose to live in love and peace, the greater the peace
on your entire planet.
There
are so many ways to love and assist those in need, but the one thing we
ask you to strive to avoid is "feeling bad for" those who have been
affected, for in truth "feeling bad" or "feeling pity" has never
uplifted a single soul on your planet earth. And although it is very
human to do so, strive to change these feelings to feelings of
compassion, for compassion is love. Pity says, "Poor you! This should
not be! I am glad I am not you right now!" Pity is an energy of
judgment, although subtle, and rarely intended.
Compassion,
on the other hand says, "Although we are at different places in our
journey, I trust there is a greater reason for this, even when I do not
understand what this is. I am going to love you through your pain. I
will offer you a hand up, rather than sinking in the depths of despair
with you I will be a beacon of hope and inspiration for you, for we have
all known loss. We have all known confusion. We have all known the fear
of not knowing how life is going to work. My heart is your heart and I
love you." Compassion is an energy of acceptance, trust, and
unconditional love. A compassionate heart knows that there is a higher
order to all things, even those that seem incomprehensible and hurtful,
and can offer comfort to those in need. For out of every natural
disaster, the most amazing acts of human love and kindness arise.
Communities bond. The world comes together and sets aside greed,
borders, barriers, boundaries, religious, cultural, and ethnic
differences and realizes you are One human race with the same hearts,
the same needs, the same concerns, and in the end, the same Love.
