The Maturing Child learns to accept himself and others for who they are. Do you judge yourself or others as wrongly or poorly made? Every thing about you is perfectly made. Every thing you are is perfect for your lessons and gifts. Even traits you would prefer not to have such as stubbornness are perfect for you and your lessons. You would need stubbornness to work through lessons that others would avoid or walk away from. You would need stubbornness to learn to use successfully the gifts given to you. Learn to see your unloved traits as valuable or in a different context, for instance seeing stubbornness as perseverance.
Have you wished to be someone else, to have what they appear to have? You do not know what lessons they are here to learn and how their lives enable them to learn their lessons. Their lessons are not yours, only your traits and gifts enable you to learn the lessons in your life. Perhaps you wish to be free from a health condition. Learn to look at health conditions from a different view point. Can you find the lessons to learn in having this condition? Perhaps to speak up for yourself to others in authority over you? To stand up for your beliefs? To take responsibility for your health? To learn compassion for others? Perhaps the lesson is to learn love and acceptance of all conditions, that life is but a blink in time before you return to peace and love. Perhaps as you contemplate these conditions you find peace for yourself and others.
Learn to accept who you are, and the lessons you have come to learn in this life. Where you are in your life is the perfect place for you. In the same way, learn to acknowledge that others are exactly where they need to be. Give them space to be who they are, acknowledge their pain, their anguish, but know that they need to go through the lesson to learn what they have come to learn in this life. You many need to distance yourself from them, or they from you, yet you can still keep them in your prayers asking that they listen to guidance from their Father and the angels that surround them. By going through these lessons, they learn to seek and listen to the source of all love, patience and true healing.
The lows of this life teach how to reach the highs of the next existence. Without the ups and downs of life there would be no growth, no development, no progression in the soul or spirit, and no reaching the ultimate goal of being love to all in all situations. Remember that you have a lesson to learn and to teach. Your job is to persevere to learn the lessons of your life and be the example of the lesson learned so that others may learn it from you.
