AND NOW MY FRIEND DIED

How much of this is one person supposed to be able to handle, for the love of GOD???  Seems that no matter how many tantrums I throw, how much I pray, beg, plead, ALL of them are taken away from me.  What have I done so wrong that I don't get to keep them???  I think i might need help.

Blu. I think lightseekers words here will be comforting to you at some point but you are in crisis at the moment.  Getting through right now needs to be the focus.  I don't know if you see a counselor but now may be the time to start.  

I know that I and really no one is going to have the right words for you right now.  It's too raw and fresh.  But it is good that you can write out your words.  If you find a therapist, it would be fantastic to speak them out loud for the therapist to listen to.  

Life indeed doesn't make sense sometimes.  god doesn't always make sense.  I've learned that when praying that God doesn't always answer my prayers.  But God can always offer comfort.  Pray for comfort.  Pray for peace.  

I'll say a prayer too.

Blu, my dear friend, this too shall pass, but not before your heart sinks lower into the cup of sorrow-remember the story?
I saw grief drinking a cup of sorrow and called out, "It tastes sweet, does it not?" "You've caught me," grief answered, "and you've ruined my business, how can I sell sorrow when you know it's a blessing?" -


From the course in miracles  today's lesson.
  Lesson 228            God has condemned me not. No more do I.

My Father knows my holiness. Shall I deny His knowledge, and believe in what His knowledge makes impossible? Shall I accept as true what He proclaims as false? Or shall I take His Word for what I am, since He is my Creator, and the One Who knows the true condition of His Son?

"Father, I was mistaken in myself, because I failed to realize the Source from which I came. I have not left that Source to enter in a body and to die. My holiness remains a part of me, as I am part of You. And my mistakes about myself are dreams. I let them go today. And I stand ready to receive Your Word alone for what I really am."

One day, I hope I can teach this course. It is very challenging-the teacher's manual and the text itself are truly diificult, unlike the student's lessons.
I'm studying the English and Greek versions so I can "get" the real essence
of the teachings. And I hope I can share this knowledge with you when we are both ready.

Love & Light
Niko
