When people bother you in any way, it is because their souls are trying to get your divine attention and your blessing.
--Catherine Ponder


We are in constant communication with one another and with God in the spiritual realm. No matter how singular our particular course may appear, our path is running parallel to many paths. And all paths will intersect when the need is present. The point of intersection is the moment when another soul seeks our attention. We can be attentive and loving to the people seeking our attention. Their growth and ours is at stake,


 


#######i can buy this except when i know that the spirit *wanting my attention* is of the darkness.....one thing i learned, living with evil......i am POWERLESS.....i MUST walk away....i MUST resist, because *that kind of spirit* is WAY over my little head!!!!! i CANNOT help them, and they can/ will harm me!!!!! i take care of me by leaving/ removing me from it, and turning it over to God.....i remember as a child, *trying* to help the child predator *be good* to be loving......all i got out it was my near spiritual death!!! ...that near fatal experience taught me that i am NOT my brother's keeper or rescuer....i also learned it is my DUTY to stay away from evil, do NOT pay it any attention, but to put my *shield* around me and get AWAY......i am loving/ caring/ to spirits who are not of the darkness!! the ones who are sick like me and needing help/ wanting to help themselves and to spread the healing/love to others....i am the first one to try to help someone who ernestly wants to help themselves be positive and loving human beings.......so i modify the above statement as i just did.......spirits/ evil and good come into our lives each day.....having experience with both as i have, i listen to my *Christ within* if God meant for us to *take a stand* he would not have given us LEGS!!!!!! i listen to my inner God, and if my HP tells me *forget it--leave!!* i do!!!!! it is not my duty to be in the same space as evil.........my favorite sayings are "what i permit---i promote".....and "what i do not resist---shall persist".....one thing i learned...... i cannot help those spirits who have given themselves over to the darkness.....that is God's business.......talk about "let go, let God", that is a classic example


 


We can be grateful for our involvement with other lives. We can be mindful that our particular blessing is like no one else's and that we all need input from the many significant persons in our lives. There is no insignificant encounter in our passage through life. Each juncture with someone else is part of the destiny of both participants.I will look carefully and lovingly at the people around me today and bless them, one and all. They are in my life because they need to be. I, likewise, need them.


 


#######ROSIE....for the most part i am.....i am not grateful for having had the tragedy that i did, but i am GRATEFUL that i can begin a NEW today!!!! based on that knowledge and based on my experience, i can be involved in the sharing and healing of other lives.......since i cannot change my past/ erase it.....i will USE what i learned from it to better myself and to spread that to others......people will notice *if she can survive THAT, i can survive too*.......it is also a way for me to reverse from the evil done to me........the best revenge is to live and to love good and to live lovingly...............i will look , yes, carefully and lovingly at the other spirits around me...i will ask my higher power for *discernement* on which ones are safe, which ones are NOT....and when i receive that information from my HP, i pray to act upon his guidence/will and not mine!!!!! ....i too, believe that noone comes into my life by accident....there IS a reason....and if i am in alignment with and cooperating with my Hihger power, i will come out of it blessed and so will they...........please take what you can use and leave the rest.......DONE
