(God With Colleen Etana through The Holy Spirit:)
Beloved,
Do you know how it feels to be treated with respect and kindness? I witness so many that do not, including myself sometimes. It seems the rarest of events in this world when it does occur. This is incredibly sad to me.
It can be understandable of course, for there are many diverse variables affecting any situation, but it is not 'acceptable' to me in my own behavior towards my brothers and sisters, neither do we need to tolerate rudeness at the same time.
In this world we are subjected to many kinds of ill treatments and they can hurt us deeply. There are so many walking around carrying pain, lashing out at others because of this which I speak, 'abuse'. There are also those who get their feelings hurt way too easily in my humble opinion.
Try to see deeper and gain understanding that they may be going through many things we are not aware of. Look beneath the surface and see another you in pain. Realize that it is not always about you.
Grow in Compassion and cultivate this Godly Trait. Love does not divide and conquer, it Unites.
Remember not to assume or become critical and judgmental so you add to the problem. Take the hot wind out of your own sails as the solution has and will always be Love, which is kindness itself.
When I am actually treated with respect, spoken to kindly, I am always so surprised and pleased. I get all mushy inside and my Soul is immediately lifted up. The sun begins to shine from within again, bringing more Light to the world does it not?
Why is this seemingly 'out of the norm'? We need to establish a new 'norm', wouldn't you agree?
This should be commonplace, not surprising or shocking, to be treated well and spoken to in a sincerely kind tone of voice.
Let us remember to speak always with love, being patient with each other and always respectful, in our tone of voice.
(Many misunderstandings or disagreements occur due to tone of voice alone.)
Let us also remember to heal and not harm even in our thoughts, but especially in our words and actions.
Let us not be concerned about 'saving face' and be able to apologize or admit when we are or have been wrong.
Hold not any grudges, for they truly cause dis-ease within you as well as the other person, which can act as a slow poison might.
And be quick to Forgive, offering this Forgiveness to yourself at the same time.
Do not be offended so easily, taking nothing personally or to heart when someone lashes out in pain, fear or anger, as long as you remain safe and are not in true danger.
Refuse to listen to or participate in any gossip. Speak no evil, hear no evil and do no evil. If one has nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. Sage advice indeed!
Try getting your information from the horse's mouth, so to speak; if you have a problem, go to the person if possible and try to resolve it and make Peace the goal, rather than talking all over town about it, stirring up more trouble.
Trying to get everyone around you to 'side' with you is also abuse. Rarely are both sides presented honestly in these cases as we are twisting things to make ourselves the victim, you see? We are thinking this gives us the validation we need or justifies our own bad behavior somehow. Take the plank out of your own eye.
Validate yourselves as you need no one else's approval or acceptance, though it can be nice to have. Make this a gift to yourself!
Giving respect begets respect for yourself, for at least you can say you did the right thing and handled yourself well.
All the Father Asks is that we try to be kind to one another. It is not too much to ask.
Repay evil with kindness as often as humanly possible and let not the false ego or image of yourself speak, but the pure heart within.
God Resides within and even speaks through the pure of heart. When the ego is out of the way, there is Peace.
Dust off your feet on those who are unreasonable or abusive, you owe this to yourself as well.
Imagine if everyone put this into practice and stopped reacting or lashing out at others? If we all spoke to each other as if we are speaking to God Himself or are in His Presence? At least remember that He is always Watching and nothing is hidden from His All Seeing Eyes.
Turn the other cheek, for it is not worth arguing and debating, name calling or being 'right' just to hurt back, which seems to be for the most part, the initial defensive reaction. It is mature to put away childish behaviors and being right all the time is not necessary.
Love, like Truth needs no defense and is never on the offense either. Nor does Love need to make or take sides.
Practice concession. It is really not about winning but just Being Love. And more Love is the prize!
Love prevails eventually, though we may not see it in the heat of the moment or the ripples it creates later when we send it out.
Practice responding calmly and controlling your emotions. Do not allow your emotions to run away with you unless Love is the one leading, remembering that Love is something shown, not just spoken or felt.
Keeping our focus on God as much as possible, He Shall Direct our paths and we will stay in His Light of Protection spiritually, emotionally and mentally, bringing much needed Healing and Grace into the world. Mindfully breathe in Peace and breathe out stress, always thinking before speaking. Be slow to anger.
Keep in mind that to love unconditionally, does not mean we cannot say 'no', nor should we ever feel guilty for so saying. Healthy boundaries are important for our own survival and well being. Being unconditionally loving also does not mean one need take any form of abuse from another or allow themselves to be used or become a doormat.
Know when to walk away and tell yourself often that you love and accept yourself unconditionally, mistakes and all. For you are not exempt from the Law of Love. I see so many that do not love themselves wholly and completely, so how can they say they love others in this way, or God either?
Charity begins at home in our hearts first, for we cannot give to others what we do not already have within ourselves.
AMEN"
