When we look at trust, we want to ask ourselves, \u201cWhat I am placing my trust in?\u201d I place my trust in the Lord. Yet, I find there\u2019s a kind of battle going on within us at times.<\/p>\n
Part of our trust is being called toward fear, doubt and condemnation. You may relate to it more as greed or lust or avarice. I think of it all as negativity. Regardless of what you call it, it is an off-putting energy. It\u2019s an energy that is into being lost, rather than found. So if you attempt to play in the field of fear, you lose.<\/p>\n
The reality that negativity presents is that there is separation and that separation is the truth with no way out. It\u2019s an energy that\u2019s into being lost with no way out rather than found. Why would you want to trust something where there\u2019s no way out and no resolution? I wouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Not having trust in the Lord creates a consciousness within you who lives in fear and holds back. Without trust, you may not utilize your natural power least you get caught or something does you in. It\u2019s as if you\u2019d rather stay in a foxhole because the foxhole appears to be the safe place rather than trust and move.<\/p>\n
Consider the consciousness of Light. As you go forth in the consciousness of Light, you will be increased. Everything that comes to you, everything that happens, will be to your advantage. It will serve you.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s a whole different kind of message from the one that says to fear and hold back. In truth, there\u2019s nothing to fear. So you can do anything, right? Yes, however there\u2019s responsibility that goes along with whatever you choose to do.<\/p>\n
Have great discernment about what you\u2019re choosing into. When you\u2019re choosing into the Light, you can trust that completely. It\u2019s functioning through a radiation that\u2019s true, always true, and completely true. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth — that truth. It\u2019s a truth that doesn\u2019t deceive you.<\/p>\n
Getting ahold of that Light energy and placing yourself in that energy can be a great challenge because there are other energies clamoring for your attention in terms of living in this world. Ultimately, those negative energies are just illusionary. They\u2019re tests. They\u2019re things that tempt you or distract you, but they never actually get you. They never actually stop you. They can\u2019t hold you back unless you choose to let them. So there\u2019s nothing to fear there.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve heard John-Roger talk about the greatest sin as being withholding. When I first heard that, it really caught my mind. I hadn\u2019t thought about holding back in that way. I\u2019d thought murder, hatred or blasphemy was the greatest sin. I wondered what he meant by withholding being a sin.<\/p>\n
I know I withhold. I can\u2019t seem to help it at times. I\u2019m not always feeling courageous. I\u2019m not always open. Therefore, I may be withholding at those times. I\u2019ve come to better know that it\u2019s a choice to hold back, to not fully live or engage our self in our life. That\u2019s where we end up losing. Instead, we can release ourselves and live freely. The truth of what that means is to truly live freely and openly with nothing held back.<\/p>\n
The meaning of love the Lord, thy God with all thy body, all thy mind, all thy spirit is more understandable. Whatever you\u2019ve got, trust in the Lord and direct that into loving God however you know that to be. You may ask, \u201cWho or what is God that I may love it?\u201d<\/p>\n
God is all things. So we are to love everything. What if there is something you don\u2019t love? What if you consider something as not being of God? Then that\u2019s the next thing you need to love. If you don\u2019t love that, if you choose to distrust and withhold your loving, then that\u2019s the thing that will have you captive because you will not love it. Jesus put it in real practical terms — Love your neighbor as yourself. Love one another.<\/p>\n
Look at how are you doing with that level of loving. Look at how you are choosing to trust and to love it all. If you\u2019re having a difficult time loving yourself, then by the time you get to loving your neighbor it could be quite challenging. So get busy loving yourself first. Choose to trust in the Lord and love it all the way the Lord loves you.<\/p>\n
————————— Lord God, we give thanks that you have brought us together. Baruch Bashan <\/em><\/p>\n
\nBlessing for Trusting in the Lord<\/p>\n
\nWe ask for our consciousness to be awake to the Light that is you and the Holy Spirit and the Christ.
\nThis is a field anchored in that consciousness that is the Christ, and in the personal vibration is
\n the one we call Jesus, and through all those in that line that is the Traveler.
\nWe bring it forth here and now in our consciousness so we are fully awake in our divine nature.
\nWe are patient with our process that finds limitation and where we have placed restrictions.
\nWe are patient as we learn to handle what comes before us.
\nWe trust Your willingness to bring it in perfect timing and not insist that it is done the way we want unless that serves for the best.
\nWe give thanks for the joy in Your presence. We celebrate that joy.
\nRight now, we ask that whatever is not serving be taken so that in this moment all that we\u2019re
\n aware of is the consciousness of joy and the freedom of Your spirit that pervades all of creation.
\nIt is done. It is before us. It is true.<\/p>\n
