Healing the pain of Separation from God

The way to heal the pain of separation is not by gaining the love, esteem, or good opinion of other people, as comforting as these may be. Whatever is gained can be lost. The only real safety is revealed through our communion with God. Our private moments with God determine our conduct, our experience of life, and influence how others experience us.

Reading your lessons is a way to commune with God. The lessons flow from the heart of angels to your heart. The intention of your school is to put you in deeper communion with God. If it were not also your intention to come closer to God, you would not have been guided to the school.

You are becoming more aware and more conscious with each breath. Each breath is a breath closer to God. Breath comes in. Breath goes out. No matter what you do, this is true. Until the last breath leaves the body, you can rely upon breath to flow in. Breath is your greatest constancy in life. Even when you are not aware of breath, breath is aware of you. Breath knows to flow.

Isn’t it astounding to realize how taken care of you really are? Isn’t it comforting to know that breath -- the most important function of your life on earth -- is taken care of by a power greater than your own? Isn’t it freeing? Doesn’t it fill you with awe and wonder?
