How God “works” in our lives

Posted on by

YUSEF:

How does God “work” in our lives? Ah, wonderful question with a long and complex answer. (Smile)

First, you must remember and understand that you are with God and a part of God, and thus your Soul is working in your everyday living to return to God—to remember HOME.

Thus, the work of God is to place reminders within your sphere while on the earth, and those—both seen and unseen—who will help you remember who you truly are and where you are on the path back to God.

To complicate this effort is the reality that you are NOT separated from God, but YOU THINK YOU ARE. Thus it is your Soul that calls/reaches out for help that you might remember, and reunite with God while yet in the physical. And when that soul desire is broadcast—simply by desiring it—we respond to help bring it about.

God responds to your desires!

Unfortunately, not all that you desire while in the earthly realm is to your (true) benefit. The earth is a seductive place and often you are caught up in its many lures away from what the soul desires. Each desire, from human ego or soul, is heard and responded to, however.

Now some—we might say most—of your desires do not come from your conscious self. They come from a deeper place that has been conditioned by the environment that you have created/built that you refer to as your life. (Yes, you have indeed created your life as you have lived it each day.)

It is that place/environment that is the setting, the starting point, for remembering who you are. As you can see, it will be different for each one. We, who are sent by God, can see this, and it is within this framework that God offers help.

It is often the case that you have responded so much and so often to the physical distractions of the world, that we must help you “get past” those distractions in order that you can see the path HOME more clearly.

We may encourage others to enter your life (hopefully they will hear and respond to our suggestions). We may try to caution you as we can see that some of your desires, thoughts, and actions will lead you away from your Soul’s true desire which is to draw closer to God.

No matter what our efforts are, YOU are still in charge. You may accept or reject our help—either consciously or unconsciously. It is up to you to notice our efforts.

It is the seduction of the earth’s distractions that blocks your seeing or hearing us—whether we have sent you help through a person, or through the offer of a new job, (etc.) or merely through a whisper in your ear. We are ALWAYS calling you back to the path to God because that is your Soul’s deepest desire. That is the desire we “hear” best.

Remember, the Universe/God does respond, whether it comes from your human ego or your soul. Pay attention to what you desire.

Preparation

Posted on by

Preparing for something that may occur in the future is often an action that is directed by fear and concern. (We do not speak of preparing for work or play.) This is a time of preparation. Be aware—conscious at all times—but allow the heavens to offer help and guidance.

BE just where you are in all your activities until you hear/sense a call to do something else, or to be in another location. Do not make any changes on your own—human fear and concern for a future not yet here is guiding that.

Live as you are—in calm and joy, proceeding through each day in the Presence [of God]. Then when heaven’s guidance comes to suggest a change, great or small, you will HEAR it.

Again we say—go peacefully through each day, offering your Self and those around you, your peace, trust, love, and inner joy. In that state you will be able to discern a ripple in the fabric around you and be ready to follow the guidance offered.

In these times especially, the world needs your calm, loving, joyful presence. The presence of calm seems counterintuitive, as you say. We tell you it is the most helpful state. It is in that state we will find you open to the guidance most needed.

Fear nothing. You are cared for and protected by your trust. Be calm. Be still in trust. It is our joy to watch over and guide you.

On Mercy

Posted on by

Barbara: I asked Yusef a question regarding MERCY and what it means. Yusef’s response is quite long. You might want to read it a few times, or take small sections to reflect on to understand it fully. As always, they will answer any questions coming from this message.

The concept of mercy is “true” and yet not “true.”

As you relate to God or Father or Divine Being, it is in that relationship that the NEED for what you term mercy arises.

In your humanity you perceive “God” as on High, above, all powerful, doling out judgment on you and on the Earth. This is a mistaken concept/idea. In this you think of yourself as a child—doing good, doing bad, deserving punishment, etc. (also false ideas).

In the human, “mercy” is that which is shown to another of less power when that one has done something either worthy of punishment or is asking a favor of the more powerful one—that one you think may have power over your life.

The Divine One is all Loving, all supportive. We do not speak of a PERSON. We speak of the Wonder that is the Guide of the Universes—the essence of Creative energy, Wonder of Wonders.

This creative energy pervades all that IS, including YOU. That is God—all of it.

There are, of course, greater concentrations of this energy which is perhaps what you refer to as “God Most High.” Your relationship with this “God” energy—that which gives life and sustains ALL that is—is so intimate (though not equal) that it is your very essence. You are a spark of its fire of Love. Many do not realize or accept this thinking. How could God be this close?

Now we ask you, how could this God have “mercy” on Itself—You?

The mercy you seek is a release from the burdens of the choices you have made that cause you to be uneasy—to think you are less than—or unworthy.

God Most High has given you the authority over your lives. When you act in a way other than as the “child of God” that you are, you sense an energy that is NOT who you are. Now you feel separate from the essence of Love energy, which is the center of yourself.

Rather than claiming your true birthright as son or daughter of Love, you now think of yourself as “less than,” or unworthy.

Now perhaps—especially for those close to God—you may look for a way to return to who you truly are. You may seek to be forgiven or seek mercy in order to return to the vibration of Love which has been disrupted and displaced in your awareness.

This is not necessary. You may seek mercy and forgiveness in the human condition—person to person. A most worthy and valuable effort. But you and God are never separated—even for an instant. God, the energy of Love and acceptance, is ALWAYS within you AS YOU. This IS you—your essence. Your substance is of God.

This is difficult thinking for many. Thus you ask God for forgiveness and mercy when it is actually ALREADY YOURS. God’s Love energy pervades you and ALL life. You are one with God in the very center of yourself.

God has sent a ray of God-Love to the Earth—as YOU.

When you feel the need for mercy, realize that you have separated yourself, through a thought or action, from your True Self (a part of God). Thus you FEEL no longer a part of God—a faulty thought, but understandable in the human.

Though you are never apart from God, we understand that your actions and choices do interfere with the flow and awareness of God’s Love in your life. Pay attention to this. It is most valuable. This sense of unease you feel does indicate that you are out of sync—out of resonance—with Love, which is what you are.

Then, forgive yourself or another. Show mercy to yourself and others. Through these earthly, human actions you return to resonance with the true SELF of you that is always a part of God—that Love that enfolds you within itself as Love.
