There's always beauty around


Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where others see nothing (Camille Pissaro)

Would You like to comment on this? 

Wise, true, and oh so simple truth. And know that life would be unbearable if man could not do it naturally. Finding comfort and hope and beauty in small or "humble" things around him. Life would become unbearable, and certainly too difficult and hopeless. For the difficulties of life can fly a man like wasps a glass of lemonade. But there is always beauty to be found there. So is My comment done with these wise words?

No, certainly not, because Camille Pissaro is referring to this: a person can always see more beauty than before, in humbler places than he thought, and in places that someone else passes by. And thus experience more support and comfort and perspective than he was already used to. So the message is rather that this is an endless process and that a person can see more and more.

And this can eventually lead to a wise and spiritual person saying: oh how beautiful this is, how can it exist? And how grateful I am to the good God, in spite of my misery and difficulties.

There is much beauty in the world, and it is only meant to create a beautiful environment for man in the making.

Camille Pissaro is blessed.

The power of a loving heart


The God of love dwells in the one who loves, not in the one who is loved (Plato)

My God, would You like to say something about this? 

My Son, one of My favourite subjects! Of course I do.

First, a necessary correction. The God of love, of course, dwells in everything and everyone, and certainly in man on earth, who is endowed with free will and in man who is loved, and certainly also in man with a heart that can love.

In short, God dwells in everything and everyone.

It is one of My favourite subjects because God comes into Its own in a person who loves. Not necessarily in a person of faith, but in a person who loves. 

Every person who loves is very close to God, and God is very close to this person. And a loving heart can do much on earth.  

But first the heart, and if it works all the way according to God's plan, a loving heart. Miraculous instrument, magical organ, glorious part of earthly existence, glorious weapon against the devil, magisterial aid to sickness and destruction, addiction and disorder. Blessed heart. Healing and living and blessing and powerful organ. How much worse would the state of the earth be without the millions of loving hearts?

A mother who cherishes her child.

A child rescuing an insect.

A policeman who protects a vulnerable person from a criminal.

A soldier defending his homeland against unreasonable enemies.

A farmer who takes care of his land.

A shop assistant who treats her customers in a friendly way.

A manufacturer that takes good care of its employees.

A politician who works hard for his ideals. 

A caregiver who takes care of the ailing body of an old person.

 

Oh man, don't stare blindly at the wars and diseases in this world, at the natural disasters and injustices in countries, at your own suffering and sorrow.

All of that is certainly there. 

But there is much more.

And above all, there is the loving heart. 

Look around you and know that the loving heart holds the world up. 

Know that the loving heart is the comfort of the unfortunate and the salvation of many. Trust in the loving heart. 

And trust that the loving heart will prevail in these uncertain times.

For God dwells in a loving heart.

God cherishes the loving heart as a temple on earth.

God works best from a loving heart, and there is no other lasting victorious power on earth. 

Blessed be Plato. 

My blessings to you all
