Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so persecuted they the prophets which went before you. ~Matthew 5:12
So, again Jesus is preparing his disciples for what is to come. But you might say, ok, that’s for his disciples, but what about me?
These instructions are for those who want to attain Oneness with God; who want to love and serve God. A question you might want to ask God is: God, why do you tell me these things which are impossible to completely follow, and are meant for those who are destined to become saints and prophets?
And if we go to that place behind our hearts for a moment and be still, the answer is there…for all of us. He is preparing us. Each of us will strive to follow His instructions to the very best of our ability and in a way that is unique to who we are.
Remember the poem of Ramakrishna: The winds of grace blow all the time, you have to raise your sails to catch it.
Each of us has to raise our consciousness in order to catch the winds of grace.
This is a wonderful manual that Jesus has set down for those who want to serve and love the Lord in the highest manner and to bring peace to themselves, all those around them and to the world.
Namaste,
Michael
