Dear God,
Please help me understand why I was so upset by my Grandfather's card.
I thought I was over it.
I thought I had let go of the hurt and pain.
Please provide the Higher Perspective. What do I need to do
to forgive,
heal and fully release the pain and feelings of betrayal.
Thank you for the pure perfect
truth and Divine loving guidance.
All my love,
Lynn
Dear One,
First understand
that you did nothing wrong. Release yourself.
His actions....Grandpa's pain and actions have nothing
to do
with his love for you. Your birthday is the day of the death
of his only child. Your Grandfather
is holding on to
loss. In his view you remind him of loss.
View him with love and compassion.
When you are upset with him you continue
the cycle of pain and suffering. Your love and compassion
will begin to dissolve the ice he has around
his heart toward you.
When you find it difficult
to have compassion, ask for help.
Help is always provided
when you ask.
Most conflict
like that with your Grandfather is not what they seem.
Often a situation triggers a past pain.
This is always a situation that rises for healing.
The choice is to heal or the cycle of pain repeats.
Free will provides you the choice
in each moment. In some moments the pain body is so intense
that one may be literally out of their mind.
The remedy is to come into the NOW.
This
present moment holds all the answers for healing.
When you are present you are no longer recreating
the pain of a past situation.
In the situation with your Grandfather,
try to find the compassion.
Image today if you had
your only child die from a painful degrading cancer.
Now imagine you chose
to hold on to the pain of losing your child.
In your Grandfather's view he sees the pain as a vehicle
to keep a part of your Father alive. Since your
Father past on your 21st birthday,
your
Grandfather has linked you and your birthday
with the pain of losing your Father.
Yes, you forgave.
But, there are layers to forgiveness.
Fully let go.
Surrender to Love and compassion.
Chose to be present and do not attempt to understand
any other human being's behavior. Often it is
not what you think
that is causing another to behave as they do.
Stay accountable to your own
thoughts, emotions, and actions.
Begin every morning in gratitude.
When a painful memory or thought
comes up
don't hide or run away from it.
Do a writing.
The Higher Perspective will provide
healing and lighten your heart.
Love heals.
