The love for fellowmen

My God, a columnist in my newspaper* wrote:

 "Blessed are those who have people around who suffer from their suffering"

Well, this man is a rabid atheist who can't resist fulminating against faith. At the same time, as a nursing home doctor, he has a very big heart and a lot of love for fellow human beings. And writes beautifully about  life and suffering of man and he does so with great compassion. This article is about the suffering person and ways to relieve or shorten that suffering. And he ends with this sentence, which really moved me.

Would You like to comment on this?

My son, I love to. For the spiritual world loves people who have their hearts in the right place and are listening to it as much as possible. This doctor witnesses a lot of suffering and especially among sick and old people. And because he does not believe, he seeks comfort insofar as there is in earthly and human matters. And this is one.  

"Blessed are those who have people around them who suffer from their suffering"

The man who is allowed to experience this in his suffering experiences the love of people who care about him. A great good and a great happiness, which not everyone has. There are many people suffering who have no one who feels sorry for them.

Yet this can also be a merit of that person himself: if one gives a lot of love to one's fellow man, one may also be able to get a lot of love back in need. 

And there's another important thing this columnist isn't working on. One can also sympathize and pity someone by praying. And especially people who have no one and yet suffer can benefit greatly from people who pray for them.  

And fortunately, there are also many people on earth who pray for the suffering man in general and thus leave it to the spiritual world for whom that prayer is then intended. And in previous blogs I have already explained 

(see https://watchthegod-english.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-influence-of-praying-on-world-and_30.html)

 that it is not the case that God only takes action when prayers are offered. But more that prayer creates an extra channel through which the spiritual world can mean more to those on earth who need it.

In response to a quote from an atheist columnist, God says: give love to the other. And I also say: pray, pray, pray, even if it is for strangers, for disasters or unknown misery. Each prayer is an additional tool for the spiritual world to relieve and to  support earthly man.

And for those who pray may know: every prayer is a flower on your path after death to your spiritual destiny. 

Blessed is Bert Keizer.  

My blessings to you all.

Compassion for the other

My good God, You probably wants to comment on this? 

Yes, I do.

This is about pure love, my son, when one person realizes this or remembers it when he meets the other. Everyone, almost without exception, struggles with problems, difficulties, worries, addictions or grief for a loved one. Everyone. Welcome to this imperfect but beautiful planet. Your humans are developing, and it is a long and painful and worrisome road from former ape to consciously living spiritual man.

And beautiful life experiences contribute indeed to this but actually even more great difficulties. They are better able to grab a person by “his balls”, by shaking him up or increasing his understanding of the suffering of the other. Because if you have experienced a lot yourself, you are careful not to judge someone else. At least if the process went well. If someone becomes bitter or psychiatric due to difficulties, other things are also needed.

Most of the time difficulties bring a person closer to consciousness, spiritual growth and thus closer to God, whether that person realizes it or not. So....... 

Good human being, realize that every human being you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about and your compassion, your understanding, your love even for your fellow man grow enormously only when you remember this. So be nice, always. Because that is desperately needed in these derailing times.  

My blessings to you all

In one's suffering you can show your love

One way to love people is to be concerned about what hurt them (a rabbi)

My association was with Christ's comment "What you have done the least of mine you have done to Me". Would You like to comment on this?

No, this is another subject, my son, even if there is common ground. We'll leave that alone. 

Here's what this is all about. Man suffers on earth, actually every human being, especially at times. And then his vulnerability is greatest, and his struggle. His self-image is severely compromised and certainly also his sense of security in life. And in fact, one is struck to the depths of his soul, tormented by great suffering. And one has the impression that one is on his own. And so, one very much needs the fellow man, in the form of support, love and understanding. And even if you talk to someone about this suffering years later, you will notice that the suffering is actually still life-size and one still suffers talking about it.

And isn't this a wonderful moment to be there for someone? So this rabbi has a great insight. When you are willing to listen to the suffering of your fellow man and show compassion, then you can really be there for someone. Then there is real love, then you can really help, then you can really be there as a fellow man. And even with strangers, this coming together is possible. Even with strangers, in one-off encounters. And you don't have to go rooting. Just talk to someone and be prepared and the suffering may come to the surface on its own.

And love gets her chance.

And then two more things happen there. Expressing suffering and being heard with love are working very healing. And where two people are together in understanding and love, there is God in full glory in their midst. And that is always felt by men, even if it is not always named as such. 

My blessings to you all

Be a light to your fellow men (Light, 2)

 

You will find, as you look back upon your life, that the moments when you really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love” (Henry Drummond)
 
Today You were going to give a blog on the light man can give to others ? You have led me on the Internet to this quote.

I have indeed led you to this quote.
This is the only Truth. All other valuable experiences concerning art, science, property, personal successes in life are for sure contributing to the evolution of man, the earth, and life. And are therefore valuable.
Of more value is this truth. Why is this so?

• Because the cradle of life is love
• Because God is in His Innermost Being Love
• Because man is carried in love
• Because man only comes to God through his heart
• Because the heart of man is the most essential.

     Because there is something essential happening to man,

• when he loves
• when he is kind
• when he is aware of the other
• when he is paying attention to his fellow men
• when he is a light for his environment
• when he is respecting others
• when he is greeting a stranger
• when he is giving alms
• when he is reaching a hand to the other
• when he is compassionate to sad ones
• when he is giving support to weak ones
• when he is dwelling on suffering
• when he is grieving for the suffering of his fellow man
• when his heart is trembling at another's grief
• when he is weeping on the misery in the world
• when he is trembling at the sight of wars and disasters
• when he is giving from his wealth
• when he is sharing his scarce possessions
• when he is letting go first of the other
• when he is renouncing oneself
• when he is smiling at someone else's happiness
• when he is a light for his environment.

“You will find, as you look back upon your life, that the moments when you really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love”.

Why is this?

Because then man

• is God's image
• is distributing God's love
• is bringing heaven on earth
• is feeding his heart
• is God's hands on earth
• is spreading the divine light
• is increasing the divine light
• is strengthening the divine light
• is making the divine light to be born on earth.

And do know, then you are behaving yourselves as sons and daughters of God.
And do know, Christmas is indeed feeding this atmosphere on earth, but the whole year on this is possible and desirable and necessary, and once this will be the case.

My blessings to you all
