Sending Joy

“God is the strength in which I trust.  I need be anxious over nothing.” A Course In Miracles

“I will breathe and trust. I will not doubt God today.”

Fear blinds us to joy.  Sometimes we cannot lift the blinders because they are too heavy. That is when we must stop fighting like a child trying to escape a nightmare. Just breathe quietly and pray, “God I can’t free myself.  Please help me.”

Grow quiet, breathe in and out and allow the pain to move on through, remembering it isn’t real.  No matter how real it feels; no matter how it wracks our bodies and blinds our vision, still it isn’t real. It isn’t real because it doesn’t come from God. Because it isn’t real, it WILL pass. It always does. What we give to God cannot harm us. Knowing these heavy, dark feelings cannot hurt us, we can now see them as amazing opportunities and as powerful gifts as we let God gently move us through them.  Do not doubt this, for it is true. In the darkest darkness there is always Light quietly waiting to shine.

It is in our darkest moments that we can most powerfully learn

… to be patient with ourselves, 

… to be gentle with ourselves, 

… to be kind to ourselves, 

… to be compassionate with ourselves,

… to be forgiving of ourselves.

…to trust in God.

IN SUMMARY: 

Our job is to know the darkness isn’t real no matter how real it looks or feels.

Our job is to trust in the Light no matter how fleeting it may seem.

And then as it always does, light will shine through and lift our hearts again.

Just as spring always follows winter, so does light follow darkness.

And we’ll see that even though we doubted often and we doubted deeply, it doesn’t matter because God never doubted us. Not for an instant.
