I am nothing

My God, may I ask You. It's been over a month since I received a blog. When I think about the blogs, there is no inspiration, I often think 'hasn't everything been said?'. And I never think, maybe we should stop, because we've already passed that station a few times. So I sit here and ask You, tell me, please?

Ah, My good son. So you still fall into the old trap, that you have to come up with a topic or a quote and then I will come up with the content and the words. That is certainly the case. But also the suggestion of inspiration comes from Me, also the search and finding of a quote, saying or beautiful anecdote comes from Me. So what do you want, what else can you do but just open up and wait for Me. Your ego is still present and has a sense of responsibility, of having to take initiative, of involvement. But it is absent in this whole process, you are no more than a listener, you are not an inspired prophet, not a cause of news, not a responsible person in the blogs. Other than as a listener. And who knows, maybe the best messages will come at times when you least expect it.

Isn't that your life experience too?

At crucial moments, when hope seems lost, I reach out to you, I give you new hope, I open a door when all the doors are slammed shut. At unexpected moments, I offer you new points of view, I support you in shaky moments, I carry you when you are exhausted. You have experience with that, you know that, that is the basis of your faith, when you sigh: "not I but You are the Doer".

And now the blogs. Nothing is yours, not a word, not a sentence, not a text, not an inspiration, not a subject, not an insight, not an unexpected turn in a subject, not a refreshing perspective where you did not suspect them. Everything is Mine, everything is brought by Me, everything is thought and brought by Me. Why do you think that you have to be inspired, that you have to come up with something, that you have to come up with a topic? Nothing is yours, everything is Mine.

And accept this, My good but careless, naïve, innocent and stubborn son of Mine, just stand open and wait, and I will do the rest.

If there is anything you can leave in this process, it is hindering Me.

If there is anything you can do in this process, it is to let Me.

And if there are no blogs coming, it’s because you make different choices in life, there’s so much interesting stuff too, isn’t it?

Be blessed in this humble work.

My blessings to you all

If your heart is good, you'll see God in everything (Thomas à Kempis)

If your heart is good, every creature is a mirror of life and a book of divine lessons. Even the smallest and most despicable creature has the goodness of God in it (Thomas à Kempis)

Would you like to comment on this thought?

This thought of Thomas à Kempis, one of the great sons of mankind, is a pearl of wisdom. I would like to comment on it on the basis of two important parts.

"If your heart is good"

How can one's heart always be good in this world in which also matter and temptations, misery and sorrow are claiming their place? That’s almost impossible, although mystics and saints and truly great sons and daughters of mankind have achieved this.
The aim at a good heart is yet important. Every act of you must be determined by the question "is this good for my fellow man or fellow creature"?
The aim is indeed important because through trial and error one is achieving something.

"every creature is a mirror of life and a book of divine lessons. Even the smallest and most despicable creature has the goodness of God in it. "

If you could see the world and all life through Our eyes, you would observe this: a luminous world of energy and love and harmony, despite the struggle for life in nature, despite the confusion of mankind, despite the long road one has to pass to an evolving physical world of light and love. Behind the scenes this is the case, the spiritual side of life is like this. The hidden grain of truth of everything and everyone is like this, because it is in and from God.

The spiritual world is as it is wished to be.
The material world is as it temporary is.

Know that every prayer for good, every thought of it, any attempt to feel it, every honest belief, any focus on kindness, every act of love, every desire for a sacred world will bring this world more nearby.

"If your heart is good, every creature is a mirror of life and a book of divine lessons. Even the smallest and most despicable creature has the goodness of God in it."

Thomas à Kempis lived six hundred years ago, but his message is entirely relevant. And time is on the horizon, when many people will live this truth. But the world needs more time, before this is the case.

Do realize in the meantime God is in everything.

My blessings to you all
