Someone I've worked with who had good skills, marketable skills, was talking with me recently. For me, my hardship in the area of finances, is that my income has really changed , so much that I needed to find better work with more steady payment. Finances are tight. And I am careful for eating at restaurants. On my business trips I cringed at how expensive airfare and hotel have become. I ended up skimping on food expenses and cutting back everywhere possible to save money. But nothing prepared me for the financial situation of this person...
They are needing to look for a new place to live. They can't make the rent payments. Already they are living in a more affordable part of the state, and have roommates. There is no money. Not enough to pay for car insurance. It's not good. Like with my work, their work gets paid after the fact, after the work is done. But when people get upset with the pace of the project, they cancel and then there is no payment for the work already done or the materials already used.
I picked up that some people take advantage of the situation, and also,I was told that they threaten to write bad reviews on the social media marketplace.
Where is your hardship?
Is it time? Are you busy going to work and trying to make ends meet? There is little time for family, for exercise, for fun? Does the raising of small children take most of your energy in your day?
Is it health? Are you constantly going from one doctor to the next trying to find out what is going wrong with you? To find relief? Have you been given a diagnosis that is serious and life-changing? Are the little changes over time starting to add up?
Is it friendship? Are you lonely? Are your friends distant? Do you get the feeling that they could get along just fine without you? Or is it expensive going out and splitting the bill so you worry?
Is it romance? Do you feel like life has just passed you by? That the love of your life is never going to happen? Or if you are in a committed relationship, is there abuse, neglect, or betrayal? Have your dreams of your golden years vanished because of a 'grey divorce'?
As we head into the Holiday Season's final celebrations, you can be certain that in some way, every single one of us experiences 'lack' in a significant area of our life. It is something you have always on your mind, and it is hard to stop thinking about it.
God isn't stupid.
God knows the score.
God knows we are living in times where all the life is being choked out of us--financially, health, mentally, intellectually, spiritually...and being choked out of Earth and her delicate ecosystems. There is organized, controlled chaos--of a spiritual nature at the root. Something is trying to control and destroy Creation itself!
I know it is hard to take your lumps. It is hard for me too. The ability to keep going sometimes needs a lot of prayer to make it happen.
Don't feel like you are alone.
Don't feel like this is happening for no reason.
You are love Incarnate.
And even though certain ancient schools may tremble at the realization that nothing else is real except for LOVE, and those followers are doing everything in their power to stomp out and destroy Love...and all of Divine Creation...those efforts are doomed from the start.
If you are struggling and do not know where to turn, remember there is an Endless Source of Love, you are a rightful part of this Love, and that is your Home. You can ask for energy, you can ask for sustenance, you can ask for Divine Guidance that is so CLEAR there is obvious clues in your path...this is your Birth Right.
You are LOVED.
If it makes you feel any better, even though things are not the greatest, there are plenty of people who are facing their challenges too. For some, you might be able to help them. Not to your own detriment! But to find ways to help.
Remember your Gifts. These are your Divine Talents that were also your Birth Right. It might be making others laugh. It might be helping soothe others. My voice helps soothe many people I have been told. Perhaps it is dressing nicely? Or helping others to find their way? So many talents and your hearts are such blessings to all of us!
Give thanks for what in your life is good.
Today I gave thanks that I did not have to drive to or from work in the rain. The more thankful you are, the more your natural spiritual strengths can grow.
Reiki is one of the most important gifts we can share. Let us be thankful for this too.
clap! clap!
Aloha and Mahalos,
