My loved ones,
I hear you My dear ones, I hear your lonely calls. I hear you, when you speak to Me of heartbreak, when you speak to Me of suffering. Hear Me, My loved ones, I HEAR YOU. You are heard, from the depths of your soul.
I am standing beside you, and holding your hands. I am kneeling before you, and catching your tears. I am holding you. I am here.
Loved ones, speak to Me. Speak to Me freely. Speak to Me not as if I were far away, but speak to Me as your beloved, and speak to Me knowing that you are My beloved. I am not a psychologist, whose job it is to listen to you. I am not a priest behind a confession screen, who doesn't know you, or care to. I am not a parent who doesn't understand. I am not a distant God. I am here, my beloved ones. HERE. Therefore, speak your hearts. I always hear your heart, but when you do not speak to Me about what you are feeling, YOU feel unheard, suppressed, alone. I do not want to see you feel alone, My beloveds.
Imagine a couple, my dear ones -- a couple with a sweet, intimate relationship. They are together; they share everything; they talk freely and happily. Then, imagine that one of the two people in that relationship becomes troubled. Something is bothering them. They decide not to tell their mate. Every day that person thinks about this thing that bothers them, it becomes a huge part of their lives. Now, imagine their relationship again: is it still the same, now that one of them is always worrying, and not telling the other what they are worrying about? Of course not. Now, there is distance. Even if the other ALREADY knows what that one is thinking, but the worried person won't talk about it, does that not create a feeling of distance?
My loved ones, you are like the worried person in that example. I love you, and you love Me, but you harbor all these troubles. So often, you harbor so much suffering inside of yourselves. You feel distant from Me, because you do not bring yourself to Me, and therefore you feel like you are dealing with it alone.
Or, if you do talk to Me about it, you talk to Me as if I was a million miles away, and because you believe that, you can't hear any answer. You are not listening to the voice that is right here, right now -- MY voice. You have your inner ears strained to hear a voice that is a million miles a away, and there is no space in your attention to the One that is talking to you right now, right here -- Me.
Or, sometimes you come not willing to hear Me at all. You have already decided that you know what's going on -- that I have abandoned you; that you have been betrayed. Just as you have seen human beings shout at one another without listening to the one they are calling "guilty," My children rail at me, without listening.
My loves, My loves, it is okay if you come to Me horrified at what you have seen. It is okay if you come to Me angered, if that is what you are feeling. I do not want you to suppress anything. I want you to come to Me and let Me help you let go of that which you must let go of, and know the truth about that which you need to know the truth about.
When you come to Me feeling angry or disappointed, do not try to hide your feelings; do not try to "be nice" to Me, while you feel angry and bitter inside. My loves, do not do that, because I cannot heal or help you then, and you cannot be comforted. Instead, come to Me with what you feel, AND, AT THE SAME TIME, be open. Be open so that I can help you. Bring your feelings, and know that your feelings may not be based on right ideas. Be open to Me, and I will help you.
And sometimes I will even tell you that the feelings that you think are wrong are not wrong. There is legitimate heartbreak in the hearts of My children, who suffer the losses of loved ones, anger at the badness of the world, and many more things. But My dear ones, I can help you to hold these things in a way which is supremely helpful, and effective, and constructive. Not only can I heal you of your heartbreak, but I can also help you to power your anger with love, and create change in the world. There is an anger, My loves, which is like rain falling on the desert. That is My anger, and the anger of My children, who see what My other children are doing to themselves, and to one another. I can help you to clean your anger of selfishness, bitterness and hatred, and help you return to the root.
Similarly: disappointment, heartbreak, rebellion -- these things can be used for the good. They do not have to destroy My children. It is the selfishness and bitterness behind disappointment, heartbreak, and rebellion that hurt My children, and rob them of their happiness and their natural, blissful, powerful condition. My loves, come to Me, and I will guide you, heal you, help you, and bring you to a more natural condition, a condition in which all that you feel is the result of the fact that you are a child of God. A child of God feels angry when it is appropriate to be angry, and will be heartbroken when something is heartbreaking; but a child of God will love, and love abundantly. Their love is not diminished by anything, not even that which makes them angry or breaks their heart. In fact, when these things happen, they dig and dig and dig to find the answer, for the beloved ones who are making them feel so angry, and break their hearts so much.
My dear ones, this is My constant activity, and therefore, it is your constant activity.
Do not judge your feelings, My dear ones. You have too many ideas to be able to do that correctly. Just come to Me, and know that I will help you, and that it will be okay if you share everything with me. In fact, you are better off that way. That is all.
