When you are surrounded by hatred, rage, or fear those around you – do not fear. Try to step back from the fear and take the greater view. There is a purpose and a plan in all that happens. God’s plan is the way for everyone to reach their Highest Good, and the purpose that each one has in this plan is critical for this to happen. He knows your role and supports you. Look to him to find meaning and understanding, for the world is only a school to learn love and to be love. Believe that your Father LOVES you and provides all that you need. Seek His Love and protection, His understanding and peace. Believe that you are surrounded by his angels to guide and help you; you are never alone, for He and His angels watch over you each and every moment. He knows your fear, and would comfort you and keep you safe if you but look to Him rather than to yourself and to the world to provide safety and comfort. He knows your fear, hate, and rage and would help you release it so that you become love, compassion and peace. Remember that you are an eternal being with the free will to learn to choose love as your response to others and the events in the world around you.
Look to the events happening around you in the world as evidence of the thoughts and beliefs of the individual and of the people in the world. These events are part of the plan to change the beliefs of those individuals. What is your response and the response of those close to you to an event such as a bombing or shooting? Does it evoke hate? Fear? Does it cause you to look within and challenge your beliefs, or does it reinforce what you already believe? Is that belief love? Understanding? Compassion? Does it challenge you to make changes to remove the cause, or does it just reinforce your understanding of the cause of the event? If change does not happen within and without, similar events will continue to occur till individuals understand the truth and make changes to remove the cause of such events.
Believe and trust that all that happens to each and every person has a purpose and a reason, and is part of God’s plan for that person, city, country, world, and universe. Also understand that you may never know the entirety of your purpose or your part in the plan, and especially not the entire plan for it involves all of humanity and all of creation. Remember that each person has a critical role to play; for some it is to show goodness or hate through their actions, for others it is to be the reason for change to happen or to cause change to happen. Changes within each person need to be made in order for each person to be love and to do only acts of love. Do you teach love? Compassion? Do you teach hate? Rage? Peace? Examine who and what you are, find the goodness, the love within, but also search for the darkness. Challenge your understanding of love, of the events around you. Look within and find the darkness within you , then shine the light of love on it- releasing it from you and making more room for the light of love to shine from you into the world. In all that you do, do it with love.
