All things are given to me. God's trust in me are limitless. He gives without expectation, holding back nothing. My will is one with His.
Here is the paradox that underlies the making of the world. This world is not the will of God, and so it is not real. Those who think it real must still believe there is another will, and one that leads to opposite effects from those He wills. Impossible indeed; every mind that looks upon the world and judges it as certain, solid, trustworthy and true believes in two creators; or in one, himself alone. But never in one God.
The gifts of God are not acceptable to anyone who holds such strange beliefs. One must deny their presence, contradict the truth, and suffer to preserve the world one made. Without the world one made he is an outcast; homeless and afraid. He has forgotten where he came from, where he goes, and even who he really is. In one's lonely, senseless wanderings, God's gifts go with them, all unknown to them.
He seems a sorry figure; weary, worn, in threadbare clothing, and with feet that bleed a little from rocky road he walks. This is their chosen self, the one they made as a replacement for reality. They cower fearfully lest they should feel Christ's touch upon their shoulder, and perceive His gentle hand directing them to look upon their gifts. Christ's hand has touched their shoulder, and they feel that they are not alone. The misertable self they thought was them may not be their identity.
God's Will does not oppose. It merely is. That is all. God walks with us Who gently answers all our fears with this one merciful reply, "It is not so." His touch on us has made us like Himself. We now must learn to give. We must teach them by showing them the happiness that comes to those who feel the touch of Christ, and recognize God's gifts. If we are sick, we are withholding healing the Creation.
Our hand becomes the giver of Christ's touch; our change of mind becomes the proof that who accepts God's gifts can never suffer. We are entrusted with the world's release from pain. Do not betray it. Become the living proof of what Christ's touch can offer everyone. God has entrusted all His gifts to us. Such is our mission now. He has shared His joy with us. How we go to share it with the world. www.jean-lucdabreau.com
