Beloved, in life in the world, instead of your hand touching on love above, your hand may touch on brambles. You do not quite get the point of it – life, that is. You protest toil and trouble and that bug-a-boo called death. You would rule out a lot. You might choose only that which your eye falls on to appear or to disappear according to how you feel about it.

You believe it would mean a lot to you to call the shots in life. Beloved, how short-ranged your constructed logic may be. Life cannot be reduced to logic. There is greater than what you conceive of in your life because there are too many pieces of the puzzle for you to address.

God said:

Beloved, when you see the world from its underpinnings beneath all the juxtapositions the world at-large incorporates, you will see life as bright light. You will see the world and life as I do see. You will have seen that life does come out right.

Presently, you may see in limited ways.

No matter how many times I say that your life is as it is meant to be, you are adamant that I wear rose-colored glasses, whereas you are down to earth and realistic.

God said:

Beloved, My vision of life goes beyond the human viewpoint of life by a mile. How clearly I see life backwards and forwards. How simple life is and how much simpler life could be for you if you could see as I do see rather than giving your opinions as holy as sometimes you want to do!

I bless you. How well aware I am of how life appears to you who are on the front lines. Of course, I know. I am not naive. I know how scary life can strike you. I am aware. I am not unaware. I am not cavalier. I well know that life, as you see it, isn’t a barrel of laughs. I don’t kid Myself. I don’t scoff at your fears. I perceive your fears. I know you can’t drop your fears off just like that. I know how real your fears and sorrows are to you.

Certainly, I realize how you can’t hide your fears just like that under your pillow. At the same time, I never want you to struggle as you do.

God said:

Beloved, what is all this about frustration? You are familiar enough with it. Frustration plagues you often enough. You don’t seem to understand the cause of frustration. The cause is that you insist on your best performance. You don’t have to keep battling with frustration as though you are obligated to it. Frustration comes from your own stubbornness. You tend to want something the way you want it when you want it. You don't want to take a chance on less. You insist on your best performance no matter how many times you’ve tried to resist.

Of course, you grew up with the idea of never giving up. You will achieve as you want to no matter how dragged out you may become in the process.

You don’t have to achieve. Regardless of what you absorb in terms of achievement, you can stop every now and then. When something is overly hard, this is a good time to ease up. Make it easy to jump over an obstruction. Come from another path.

God said:

Beloved, you have many thoughts in your mind that run around on subterranean depths before they consciously occur to you.

We can say that you dream of them before they came true. It is your own thoughts that rise before you and can be called to become true. You have, perhaps, unannounced desires that that pop up full blown now and again. Blessed be you.

Beloved, you create your own realized desires.
