Only Want God’s help
from The Divine Eye: Seeing the Good in Everything and Everyone, March 24, 1995, Oasis Bookstore, Amherst, Massachusetts
We are coming in for a landing. We want to tell you that if you should decide to make the decision to try, you have the right, which we have said. But you also have no need to do this on your own. In fact, if you try to even do a little bit of this on your own, you are stopping yourself dead in your tracks. If you try to even accomplish a little bit of destroying your ego on your own, you have fallen into the trap. It’s so hard to live without trying to do this.
It’s so hard to follow a path, without trying or making an effort because you’ve all been so well-trained, by your selves and by others in this world, that it is your efforts that result in progresses. That it is your work, your thoughts, your deeds, your goals, your ideas that make thing happen.
God allows you to try to make things happen. And sometimes God rewards you with the thing you were hoping to achieve. Sometimes.
God does what God feels is best. It is very important to not think that you have to make any effort in this. But you do have to only want God’s help, and you have to want the goal which is to see with God’s Divine Eye, the good in everything and everyone.
Obviously, to see the Good in others is a very serious thing. Obviously, it is not easy. That is why you cannot do it yourselves. But, when you allow yourself to see with the eyes of God, that are inherent in you, dear ones, you can comprehend that goodness.
It is hard to constantly see in this way. God knows it is hard. And God forgives and gives other opportunities to keep seeing. There should never be a feeling of failure, never be a feeling that you have not seen well enough to please God. Always be gentlest with yourself because up until this day, you’ve always been hardest with your self.
Dear ones, all you have to do, in any moment is say,
“Dear God, Let me see right now through your eyes, instead of mine.
Dear God, Let me see right now through your eyes, instead of mine.
Dear God, Let me see right now through your eyes instead of mine.”
That is all. We have some time for conversation, and we’d like to answer some questions, or chat with you a little bit.
