Life Lessons

Every Human being seeks external validation.  We want to know the answers to these questions.  1. Do you see me?  2. Do you hear me? 3. Does what I say matter?
We want to be loved.  We want to feel a part of a community.
We may search in all the wrong places.  But then one day as if by magic and miracles you find a community you think that you belong to.  You fall in love with them.  You feel safe and loved.  But then the truth of reality of life happens.  Parts of it are an illusion.  It becomes broken.  A circumstance occurs and the momentum of the actions can't be stopped and the life lesson becomes a much bigger one than you had ever imagined.    You learn you have to LET GO.  You have to TRUST GOD that he has a larger plan at work.  That HE is saving you from something.   You learn the lesson swiftly that FRIENDSHIP is something that takes years of cultivation and love and respect and compassion and kindness.  You learn that just because you may meet someone on a weekend away  and the words I LOVE YOU are said, it doesn't mean anything.  Actions speak louder than words.    Unconditional love is something we know at our soul level.  We come from LOVE. We are LOVE and we return to LOVE.  
But you have to learn to get out from the circle when LOVE is no longer being served.   Unconditional love isn't I will love you only when you act and say and do the things I want you to act, say and do.   
Take the lessons you learned and go on with your life.  Be your beautiful you.  Learn to trust your gut.  Listen to it no matter what.  Count your blessings and turn to GOD.. He will rescue you. 
Be your Beautiful self and don't allow another person's opinion of you make you sick or make you feel bad.  You are GOD's creation.  Accept yourself.  
I love you.. I really do.  when I say those words I mean them.  So I am going about my work now, quietly, silently with GOD as my anchor. Living and learning.  And all the while thanking HIM for saving me from what I can't see.  Thank you GOD .. thanks for the life lesson to seek WITHIN.  
AMEN!
