Your Good Fortune

You have had the idea that you are supposed to make things right in the world, yet that is not your purpose. Furthermore, it is unlikely that you can succeed in making things right when it concerns what other people are doing or thinking.

Certainly, you may be in the right, but where does that get you? Whether you are right or wrong, what is open for you to do is to make yourself right. Change will come from you. You have to change first. You have to change.

It is not so important as you think to be right. When you measure your rightness, you stop the flow of life. You are abrupt. You don’t have to be right, beloveds. Better than being right, you can be the beautiful person who doesn’t take an inch but who gives a mile. Would this not change yourself, to give more, and not expect another to give you your appointed share?

The more you perceive that someone else needs to be generous, the more you have to be. You do not give as someone who placates. You give because it makes sense. If you meet with a poor man, even when he owes you money, it is unlikely he can reach into his pocket, and give you a hundred-dollar bill. And, yet, time and time again, you expect someone who is poor in heart to give you your due. You are even adamant about it.

Justice is judgment, and We are not speaking of justice. We are speaking of progress. We are speaking of opening new channels so that you can let go of the past and move forward. As you move forward, you create a pathway for others to move forward. You want movement, don’t you? Movement is not about settling old debts before you can move forward, for then, you stay in the same place and you glue another there as well.

It is you who has to have a change of heart. It is you because I am talking to you, and you can hear Me. Be glad for your heart and good fortune that allow you to hear. You know, deep in your heart, that it is you I speak to.

Some might say that I am telling you to forgive. Well, forgive yourself then for needing Me to tell you to let go of what ails you. When you find yourself in a state of feeling put upon, then release yourself from that state. Step out of your prescribed limits. Be that which you want the other to be. Be as I ask you to be, and that is bigger than you have been in the past. That’s how you get out of the past – by being bigger than you used to be.

You let go of being right. You attain to generosity and even greatness. You do want to be great, don’t you? Start now with the little annoyances that won’t let you go. Let go of them. These small things do not have to be the rulers of you. They may feel big to you, yet your feelings of dismay have been something you have carried around with you long enough, too long. A minute is too long to carry a sense of self-righteousness. Be a humble person instead. So, someone else is mistaken. You do not make yourself responsible for someone else’s lack. That is their short-sightedness. It belongs to them, not you. Do not sink to a lower awareness. Rise above the throng. Rise to My Awareness. Thank you for rising. In a conflict, what else is there for you to do?
