Holy Spirit:  What is it you can do about the contentious, difficult relationships you currently hold? How are these situations you find yourself in healed?  How is peace achieved when it seems you are the only one trying?  

 

Or perhaps no one is trying?

 

Let Me first point out one important fact: those difficult relationships and situations you currently find yourself in, all disappear once the body is gone.

 

You most certainly let them all go once the body is gone, for there is then nothing to fight over.

 

The relationship is dissolved and turned into something new as Spirit.

 

Not unlike a caterpillar dissolves within a cocoon and emerges as a beautiful butterfly – a seemingly new creature, yet still the same energy it began as, though it looks entirely different.

 

The goal of your relationships in this world is to achieve such healing and transformation here, while you still find yourselves in bodies.

 

The goal is to not have to undergo physical death in order to transform your relationships.

 

To overcome the difficulties relationships present while still in the world of form is to achieve awakening – enlightenment.

 

It will also bring you immeasurable peace, joy and love.

 

Your heart will never hurt again.

 

So what to do?  How is such a state achieved while resentment, pain, regret and sadness rests in your heart now?  What should you do when you feel so unfairly treated?

 

The answer is simple, but must be fully embraced in order for it to heal you.

 

You must decide your peace is worth more than what your ego wills your relationships to be.

 

You can decide this easily by simply acknowledging that you do not understand anything about your relationships in this world.

 

You do not know what others are thinking, what they have been through, how they have processed those experiences or what you have been to one another in past journeys to this place.

 

In essence, you know nothing about anyone as they are in Truth.

 

Those you think you love and those you think you despise, are not who they truly are in Spirit.

 

And this world is not your real home either.  None of you belong here.

 

Nothing you think you know through your ego is true.

 

This should be an easy step, in that you have already felt this in your heart from time to time.

 

You know this to be true.

 

You do not belong here, and neither does anyone else.

 

And because this reality is not your true Home, understand that this means that your relationships here are equally as false.

 

No one is beholden to another in marriage, parentage, or otherwise.

 

You have assigned importance to these roles in order to survive in this world, but they are not the assignments Heaven bestows.

 

In Heaven, you are only beholden to one another through My Love, for it is My Love that binds you and only this is real between you and another. 

 

And My Love holds you all within My Deep Embrace without your effort or strain.

 

You all coexist in My Perfect Peace without difficulty.

 

Do you want this peace and love now in your current relationships here?

 

Then let go of the importance your ego has laid upon the outcomes and responses by others in relationship to yourself.

 

When you feel discomfort or strain in relation to another person in your life, lay down your shield, which profits you nothing.

 

Lay down the spear and many swords of grievances you have taken up against your peace with them, for such weapons are useless in the world of My Love.

 

Christ has called you friend and companion, and now He asks your help in laying down your defenses against His Love by laying down your defenses against those He has sent you to love.

 

This is how you return to your true Home.

 

This is how you bring healing to all of your relationships.

 

This is how you let go of all contentious thoughts of fear, aggression, disappointment and guilt in relation to those your ego demands special love from.

 

You do this by simply allowing your thoughts to be still an instant, and be at peace awhile, knowing this will all resolve itself if you would just lay it down into God’s Hands.

 

For God would then disburse His Love equally to all involved.

 

There is no one more or less deserving of His Love than another, for where would the justice be in that?

 

It would mean that you were not each created equal in His Love. It is impossible for God to Love unequally. 

 

It is also impossible to lose His Love through incorrect action.

 

God loves with impunity and indiscriminately.  You cannot break free or escape from His Love regardless of how hard you may try or what you may believe.

 

Therefore, you must forego all things your ego values in this world – be it a special form of attention, communication or loyalty that you expect from another simply because you have decided it is your due from them.

 

Whatever your reasoning may be, no one owes you anything in this world.

 

You are only owed My Love, and that is already given.

 

The ego demands special love from certain people in your life, yet you have My Love, the Love of God Himself.  

 

Is this not enough?

 

Your ego may try to demand more from someone else, and it may try to make a long list of wishes and wants you’d like from them.

 

Do not listen to its voice!

 

Extend My Justice to those you feel indebted to or whom you demand emotional payment of from.

 

What is My Justice?

 

It is to acknowledge My Presence within another.  I am equally distributed amongst you all – within you all.

 

My Presence is the only thing in this world that is true about you. Any other relationship you think you have does not exist beyond the body. 

 

Yet, I do not ask you to sacrifice the relationships you think you currently have, but rather, I would ask you to allow Me to transform them.

 

Be unafraid of this transformation!

 

A caterpillar is not afraid to leave behind all it ever knew about itself in order to enter the cocoon.  In the cocoon its body will entirely liquefy, and seemingly “die” and yet it is transformed into magnificence.

 

So too do I ask you to leave behind all preconceived notions of what you think your relationships should be.

 

Trust in yours and everyone else’s Inner Magnificence.

 

Allow your relationships to dissolve if they must, to liquefy.  

 

Do this by giving them to Me when you feel pain and discomfort and let My Will be done instead of your own.

 

It is My Will that you lay down your grievances, guilt, and disappointments and allow all people and situations to be as they are.

 

Let your mind rest in peace.

 

Be still.

 

In this stillness, be transformed within your cocoon.

 

And thus do you let peace and stillness enter your relationships.

 

For if you only acknowledge My Presence, My Love, within all your relationships, it leaves no ground for guilt or punishment – for what is there then to punish?  

 

The relationships of the ego will forever disappoint you, but your Oneness in relationship with My Love will bring only everlasting joy and contentment.

 

See only My Spirit within your relationships and you will open the door to My Will for you each to be transformed.

 

This transformation will come because you will have let go the cause of the ego and allowed My Love to work miracles instead.

 

And thus will all your problems be solved.  

 

My way of problem solving is the way in which the problem ends once and for all.  

 

It is solved because the problem has been let go of.

 

You will have dropped your case against the person you are in conflict with, and you will have thusly dropped your case against Me, for I am within them.

 

The healing this love brings is for everyone.

 

There can be no one outside of My Love – and therefore yours – or else there would be a hierarchy to My Love, which is impossible, for I have given It equally to all.

 

There cannot be anyone less worthy or more condemned.  There is no inequity in God’s Love.

 

No one can demand more or less of It.

 

And unless you believe My Love is all there is to give and receive then you are making special demands of some and leaving others exempt.

 

God is not unfair.

 

Unless you believe that all persons have equal right to total peace, love and freedom from guilt and punishment, then you have not released them and will not have released yourself from suffering.

 

Your suffering stems from the reluctance to release your relationships to Me.

 

And each relationship you release becomes a miracle – an illustration of your desire to come Home – to be where you belong in Unity with My Love.

 

No one can lose, and everyone benefits from this new perspective.

 

What is Mine, belongs to Me.  

 

Give to the world what belongs to the world.

 

Therefore, you are not entitled to keep anyone beholden to you through guilt or accusation of wrongdoing – including yourself.  

 

For you all belong to Me equally and I have called you innocent.

 

The world sees only guilt.  

 

Would you rather feel guilt or peace?

 

Heal your relationships now; through deciding your peace is worth more than the pain the ego would hold you to through making false and unreasonable demands.

 

And once you do this, your relationships will heal and transform into majesty.

 

You will transform like the caterpillar into a butterfly.

 

You will live on this earth with each other as you live in Heaven – blessed by the peace and Love of God, living in the quiet knowledge you are each safe and loved.

 

Above all else I would have you remember this: You are always and forever beloved and loved by God, and absolved of all wrongdoing.  

 

You are His blessed and perfect Child in whom He is well pleased.

 

Never forget your Creator loves you; and nothing can surpass His Love.

 

There is nothing you cannot do, no miracle you cannot achieve, and no worldly situation you cannot heal with the strength of His Love beside you, within you and before you.

 

Amen
