Lesson from the Spirit

Before me is a beautiful blooming garden. Suddenly snow fell; it settled on the blossoming branches and the cold set in. I began to brush the snow off the branches.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to warm the flowers."
"You are accustomed to erring. And in that error you fail to notice what is for your good."
"What do you mean?"
"You took this branch, cleared it of snow, warmed it, thinking this a good deed."
"Isn't it?"
"No. You left that branch without its snowy cover in the frost. It will be the first to suffer the freeze and perish. Did you do well?
You often lament the blessings given to you, not understanding that they are blessings.
You see an obstacle in them because you do not allow yourself to look more broadly, to perceive more deeply than what appears at first glance."
"Can you explain more?"
"You complain that you lost your job, took a wrong turn, that someone treated you differently than you expected. You do not understand that perhaps this action was for your good, to help you go further, to protect you from something heavier and more undesirable in your life.
Do not rush; stop. Do not be quick to take what seems to you now wrong, rude, unjust in your life as something bad, for you do not know from what you were spared.

When you grieve that snow fell during bloom, consider that the snow is only a consequence of the frost, that it is intended to help you, not harm you.

If you continue to look at everything through the prism of indignation and rejection, you will only deprive yourself of the help given to you, severing the threads of established bridges of connection between you and your Spirit, which is trying to help you, to illuminate, support, and protect you.
Do not be quick to judge; by making mistaken judgments you risk breaking those subtle threads of important connection with your Spirit.
Give thanks and ask to be guided along the path that is the best possible for you, for your spiritual growth.
And do not be afraid to go in trust, understanding and accepting.
"How to know that this is for my good?"
"You do not need to know. Feel. When you have known God within yourself, understanding and accepting that there is the light of God in each of you, you begin to walk in trust, and in trust there is no place for doubt.
Trust is pure unconditional love, where you expect nothing; you simply go, and on that path you accept every glint, every shadow, every color and sound as what is truly needed for you."
"Should one not help?"
"Helping others is important; in doing so you help yourself, illuminating and straightening your own path."
"And what about interfering in someone's fate?"
I told you once: how can you know that you are not part of their fate?
Lessons are given for awareness. If you constantly coddle someone, that is not a blessing; it is the absence of growth for that person. Thus you prevent them from growing while thinking it a kindness.
"How to help a person grow?"
"Step aside and allow them to spread their wings on their own. Guide, illuminate—that is your help—but do not lead by force when that person is not ready."

If you look at a situation not through the prism of rejection and complaint, but through the prism of being spared from events that could have destroyed you, then you will be able—you will learn—not only to accept but to give thanks, and in that gratitude to go on, carrying your light to all, kindling it even more.
