Becoming a Child Again
It is Jean and Marie's child that is full of trouble - that suffers, that is lonely, confused, tortured and even desperate. Jean and Marie's child does not seem to be able to find a lasting peace or solution to his problems.
When he was a child, Richard knew that his parents loved him and he knew they would take care of him. He did not try to resolve his problem. When trouble arose he automatically, instinctively ran home to the comfort and safety of his parents' loving arms.
As I go back in time to the days when pride was such a governing force in my life, I recall becoming a single parent and having this thought: “My little chicks and I will do it ourselves”. I did the best I could at the time but I did have to eventually capitulate and get off my pedestal. What a slippery slope that was! That determination did not hold water for very long. The better and only way to go is to become a child again.
“Unless you become as a child again
you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.”
And how can one accomplish that? The only way I know of is what I was inspired to do and have done. That is to TRUST.
“ Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and mind and soul
and lean not
on your own understanding.”
Listen to and follow your Heart. That is and has been my guiding light for some time now and I know it is right for me for I return to those lines when I am in doubt or troubled in any way and I an always comforted with the response: “I shall never leave you or forsake you. I am within."
My experience has been that in times of trouble or confusion, letting go of the issue, not wrestling with it but simply letting it go and trusting and knowing the Truth is the way to freedom.
Taking the high road leads to knowing "what to do" in the tangible, everyday life.
"Thou shall know the Truth and the Truth will set you free."
As I reread my words what astonishes me is that I do not really know the bible but of late, these quotations seem to pop up out of the blue in support of my own writing. The Child is so amazing! It never lets you down!
Love, Light, Liberty!
