I Have Great Compassion for You

Posted on by under Conversations with God

It is written, “You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” (Psalm 16:11) 

My beloved, draw near to me and I draw near to you. I intended that we do life together in this way. In deep intimacy. 

From time to time, you forget who I am. You begin to try to exert control over your own life. To do life away from me. While this hurts me, and distances yourself from me, my love for you remains steadfast. And when you remember just how much you need me, when you kneel in awe before me, I embrace you like a parent embraces their child. I have great compassion for you. 

I am always here. Eager to be a part of your life. I am the sustainer of your life. So cling to me. 

If Our Inner Selves Could Talk, Here’s What They Would Say

Posted on by under Daily Inspiration, Personal Life Reflections

I trust you.

I know you know how to get things done. How to engage yourself with the world and then retreat.

You can eat when you’re hungry and sleep when you’re tired. You know how to shower, clean up, and pay your bills on time.

You know how to say “no” and how to say “yes” and when to do both.

You can let the right people in and show the wrong people out.

You know how to ask for help. And company when you need it.

You know how to forgive yourself. Stand by yourself. Be close to the people you choose.

This is your adventure. Your life. You got this.

You’re in charge and I trust you.

Wisdom from Albert Einstein

Posted on by under Daily Inspiration, Quotes

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us “the universe”, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling, as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

-Albert Einstein

Being Compassionate with Yourself

Posted on by under Daily Inspiration, Thought for the Day

Being compassionate enough to accommodate our own fears takes courage.

When fear arrives, just to sit with it, if only for a moment, is the ultimate act of kindness to ourselves.

Suffering Breeds

Just like if humans were to create robots that turn against us, so does suffering breed the very thing that ends it: compassion.

A Poem: “Suffering Is”

Suffering is

the dark cloud

that produces tears

like

rain

watering the flower

of compassion,

enabling it

to

grow.

Nothing More, Nothing Less

Posted on by under Daily Inspiration

Control by letting go of control, fix your problems by forgetting they’re problems. Deal with them and the world and yourself with patience and simplicity and compassion. Let things be, let yourself be, let everything be and accept it as it is. Nothing more. Nothing less.
