Message 5:
Faith
God is so merciful and
compassionate, He says in the Quran verse 2:286 : “On no soul
doth Allah place a burden greater than it can bear.” We are
given the right amount of burden, to grow spiritually. Now I am
thankful to God for the difficult times when I felt like I was
loosing my faith, because it was during those times that I was drawn
closer to God. First I had stopped praying at all, so I was feeling
even more miserable, but when I started to pray again, it was more
sort of fighting with God. One day I shouted to God: “Why is life so
difficult. Why is it that you do not hear us, and why are you always
testing us! What kind of God are you!”
The thoughts came in a rebuking
tone: “I have no reason to test you.
Why should I want to test you? You are testing yourself.”
And then in a milder tone:
“There is one truth you should know: YOU
LIVE NOWHERE ELSE THAN IN YOU OWN MIND. Never ever loose sight of
this truth. You think that the world is outside of you, you think
that you live in the world, but you do not realize that the world is
inside of you. The world you experience is nothing else than a
reflecting mirror of what is in your inner world. You don’t know
that you are creating your own world together with those, who are
resonating with the vibration level of your energy field. You are
like a magnet, creating the magnetic field of its own nature. If you
are not happy, change your inner world first and everything else
will rearrange to form a new pattern in accordance with your new
magnetic field. You can manifest only that what is in your inner
world. Whatever it is that you desire, you can only manifest it in
your outside world, if you can see it inside yourself and thank for
it. When Jesus decided to feed the people, he did not panicked when
his disciples told him that there was not enough food; he simply
acknowledged that there was enough and gave thanks for the abundance
in him. Hence Jesus manifested the abundance in the outside world.
His prayer was simple a thanksgiving prayer, not a whining pleading
and begging! Since you have not mastered the concept of time yet,
you should know that changing your physical world takes time; just
as much time as you need to change. But you should not loose heart.
This is what requires faith. If you have faith in Me, we will make
it through. If you want to wear new clothes, first you want to get
rid of the old clothes; you will not wear your new clothes on top of
the old one, do you? So too with your inner world. Before you can
manifest your new thoughts into the physical world, you will have to
face and release the old thoughts, which are not serving you any
longer. The moment you announce your desires, hidden obstructing
thoughts from your subconscious mind will come forward to block your
road. First acknowledge these shadows in yourself, release it,
before you can proceed to a new world. Can you now understand that
it is not Me, Who loves to test you again and again, but it is you
who cannot see the obstacles in yourself, and if you cannot see it,
how can you release it? Before a seed becomes a tree, producing an
abundance of fruit, the seed should first be willing to burst open.
If the seed resists to burst, no plant will sprout. So with you, be
willing to let the old inner world burst out first, before your new
life can sprout. And when you feel yourself broken and hurt, then
remember I will mend your broken heart. Sorrow may endure for a
night, but joy comes in the morning. Always remember that I have
never forsaken you, none of you. Trust and faith in Me will give you
everlasting peace. It is this peace I give you and the world cannot
take it away from you.”
No one in the world can guarantee
the security and stability which is found from trust and faith in
God. And in order to build your trust and faith, you should count
your blessings, for they are plenty. A thankful heart is a happy
heart. |
