| BkII:9.IV.4 | Beloved children of God, little do you realize how much I want today to be the day in which you learn to embrace the cross in Christ. Let today be the day in which you decide to love everything you feel, experience, and think, both in yourself and in others. This is possible because everything that now comes to your life is holy; its purpose is to reintegrate everything that was dispersed in you. If anger was what you rejected, now it will come to you, not to frighten you as it did in the past, but as a holy messenger to tell you: “Brother, embrace me in love, I am only a feeling and therefore I am pure because I come from you.” If feelings of vulnerability were what you hid so carefully, now they will come to you because you are prepared. As with anger, it will say to you: “My sister, do not reject me, I am part of you, I am pure, I am holy as are you, so let me be.” And accept it you will, allowing yourself to feel vulnerable without fighting it. The same will happen with depression, if this is what you denied, as well as with joy, tenderness, and compassion, for how many times have you drowned your laughter, and hid your smile? How many times have you refrained from expressing the tenderness of your heart? |
