Earthly life! It comes with a series of ups and downs. Today you find yourself being able to pay your bills with a joyful and glowing face, only to wake up tomorrow and find that a difficult task and then next tomorrow again, the joys return.
And the experience continues
In all these ups and downs, only he who looks up to the Light in Its workings can enjoy the joys as well as bear the pains that accompany the earthly life. One who understands the workings of the Will of the Lord, for nothing happens by accident.
May we always find help from the Light as we look upwards where help comes.
And may we also find help amongst ourselves, and teach ourselves to be of helping hands to others who are truly going through earthly pains.
Everyman who looks up to the Light must have the inclination to always be open to help others in their time of earthly pains when they so need.
For one cannot be striving towards the Light while finding it difficult to help a fellow man in suffering.
Help comes to us men through one another. And if we are not open to help others, then we cannot become children of Light.
Where you have received help from someone financially, turn around and do likewise to others, and to strangers to you. Do not be one who only entends your hand to receive and never extends your hand to give.
I have come to recognize now and understand it is not help if it’s only directed towards your family alone and not outsiders or strangers.
Many are the sufferings people go through in silence.
Sometimes, the pain is not lack of finance, for there are many with abundance of finance, and yet are going through pains for which the abundance cannot be of help.
All they need is one who is there for them and shows them a great deal of understanding which helps to lighten the pains they go through. That is also what giving with our being means. Being there, being present and with a cheerful face that helps to lighten the atmosphere of the one going through pains.
Being able to insert self in the situation the other is, and recognizing that if you are in such situations, you will also need help and understanding from others will make one see the importance of rendering help to others.
Earthly life! May ours be filled with good tidings of those we have rendered a helping hand towards, just as the Light perpetually lends us help without ceasing.
Reflections of one who has experienced and is experiencing so much in earthly struggles that helps to shape his outlook of the world.
Lord , I thank you for the experiences, they made me to see clearly inwardly. And Lord please send that human helper I so need at this time.
