It Starts With You!

Compassion starts with you. If you can't be compassionate on yourself, you won't be able to be compassionate towards others. Not seeing "sin" within ourselves is hard sometimes, isn't it? But this is what we are called to do. The single most important thing you can do to help the world is take a good look at yourself, your beliefs, what is blocking you from fully loving yourself and knowing your Oneness with God and All that is. We don't have to do this alone. God is there --- because you live and have your being in Him --- but He cannot help you unless you want to be helped and you are willing to go to the very core of looking at the blocks and defenses you have. We always make it much harder on ourselves than it needs to be. And we always think it will be harder to heal than it really is. But there is nothing you "have to do" --- what an immense relief. You only have to RELEASE what is blocking that which is already there, that which blocks your recognition of your divinity. He waits for you, because you are His Beloved. Be willing --- be willing to do whatever is required to come back to that Love. Then you will be an endless fountain of compassion for yourself and for others, and that is how we heal the appearance of this world.
