Joy And Grief

If you aren't willing to feel grief, you can't experience the joy of God. For God is joy --- that is our inheritance! We are Spirit, but we are temporarily living in a "reality" of a body that has experiences. In this reality people hurt our feelings, they "die," at times we feel separate from God, our Beloved. So grief is a healthy and naturally rising emotion in this world. We come back to a recognition and remembrance of our divinity and Oneness with God through the emotions, for God is Love. If we block or suppress our grief and sadness, we block our joy as well, and we are not able to feel and experience "living and having our Being in Him."
