Over the last 5+ years there has been a verse from the Old Testament of the Bible that has come up again and again. I believe that it was being given to me by the Universe/God/Goddess/whatever your favourite title is. After the first couple of instances I had a knowing that this was a promise being made to me.
But it wasn’t until Mid November 2015 that it suddenly jumped out at me with new meaning and conviction. On the morning of the 14th, I was starting my day, the way I often do, with writing in my journal and quiet time. I had been quite down for the past several days. I was questioning ‘why?’ – a really good sign that I’m feeling sorry for myself. As many of you will remember, Friday the 13th was the day that ISIS struck at the heart of Paris. I had been glued to the TV all day and was very emotional. I have such a struggle trying to make sense of such senseless violence, or any violent act really.
See, I believe with all my heart that we ALL are, at the very centre of ourselves, our Soul, our Higher Self, naturally good. I find it so difficult to understand what would drive that goodness so deep that the only thing left is a 21 year old blowing themselves up for a cause that is so disturbed.
That aside, I had been in the dumps for days. So watching this horror in Paris just added to the blackness in my mind. So when I arose on the Saturday I didn’t turn on the TV to see what the latest developments were, I went to my quiet time.
I had had a very physically painful night and very little sleep as a result. It is hard to understand nerve pain unless you have felt it. The only way I can describe it to people is to say that it feels like I’ve been plugged into a wall socket and the ‘buzzing’ feeling that results just doesn’t quit. There is no switch to turn it off. Although I know the risks of modern medication, I am grateful for it; because without I would surely go insane – literally!
I wrote in my journal about the events of the past few days, the pain I was enduring once again, the misery in France – generally feeling super sorry for myself and then beating myself up for feeling this way because here I was comfortable and safe while Parisians were living in terror. Then out of the blue I heard the verse come to me again. I say again, because it has been part of the RIDE for the past few years:
I know the plans I have for you,
to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you hope and a future.
With it came the following. The BOLD words are the ‘new’ version I was sensing:
I, your Soul, your Higher Self, know the plans and contracts I have for you,
to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you hope and a future.
Knowing this ‘Interpretation’ of Jeremiah 29:11 is it now more empowering for me. I see that because it is a message for me it is also a message from me. It shows me that I have had a large part in planning all of this; that I chose this path before my incarnation to this life.
- It shows me that my Higher Self or Soul (me) have made these plans = contracts.
- It shows me the plan is: To prosper me!
- It shows me that no real harm can come to me because my Soul cannot be harmed.
- My body and all its issues are not me
- My mind, depression, sorrow and grief, are not me
- I can deal with these feelings about the past, my health, my finances, my vocation and I must. But I am not these issues.
- They are just energy that swirl around me, trying to deceive me into believing me this is the way it is. But it’s not! I am not any of these; therefore it is not the way for me.
The last part was still a bit vague but I trusted and continued to write. To give you hope and future. Is it perhaps just that simple?
- Are the keywords here give you, as in a gift?
- Perhaps all I need do is accept this gift and realize that although my Finite Incarnation (my brain) doesn’t get it, that my Infinite Self, my Soul, My Higher Self does get it.
- Perhaps all I need do is accept the gift. Can it be that easy? Is it that easy?
Well I’m not going to refuse a gift, so then that leaves me with “I will and do accept this gift”.
I ask my guides to help me understand it and use it in the way my soul planned for me to use it.
