In a meditation last July Jesus said to the group I was channeling for: “All atrocities are committed by people with deeply broken hearts. And the only way to heal a broken heart is through an open heart.”
we are asked to keep our heart open even in the face of so much suffering. That is where we find our divinity—in the midst of our humanity. 💝
Could never understand a loving God asking (or making) his Son go thru that. But then I never could understand Satan either, because in some stories in the Bible it almost seems like he’s stronger than God. The Bible confused me a lot.
This may be my favorite writing of yours I've read. For me, it's making its way through my brain before I'll allow it to enter my heart. That is no doubt a conditioned response from not trusting something that is truly good because of religious trauma. There is no demand to contort scripture to reconcile what you've said. That feels first like a contradiction, then expansive. I'm committing to revisit this a few more times and let it settle. My inner child who desperately sought a loving God but only found a vengeful one thanks you.
This line was especially striking to me, since I've been thinking a lot about (well, more precisely, just finished copy edits for my book about) prayer: "Prayer changes. It stops being an attempt to calm down an offended deity and becomes a way of opening the broken places to the love already moving toward them." Beautiful.
"It says the human heart can be broken open instead of broken closed. It says the places that feel most abandoned may be precisely where love is doing its hidden work. It says salvation is not merely being declared innocent but becoming capable of love again."
This is the truth we need to hear. Learning to find love where and when we are suffering. Yes, this is a call to love not because all is well but because it isn't.
You are spot on with this. Jesus came because his people were in pain, suffering. They were
confused and angry. And because he came into incarnation, died and resurrected, a new pathway through the heavens was cut — one which we could follow into our destiny. It’s vital that we begin to see it this way.
Beautiful reading! How different I see it now and the peace and love I feel has increased abundantly. I think you helped me shed several layers of guilt that I was never meant to carry in the first place. Have a blessed day VMB❣️

Yes ❤️
Absolutely Beautiful Truth ✨💗
This is a message that needs to go far and wide. Yes, it's not about payment but presence. Love, meeting us in the wound.

Everything you wrote did NOT.
The problem with the substitutionary penance theology is that it implies that God needs something (like a sacrifice) to go against evil.
But God is exclusively good and loving. Every sin literally dissolves into Him, without the need of the crucifixion.
Jesus said it: mercy I want, not sacrifices.
This. I feel the truth of this. Thank you!
Thank you. Right now the world truly needs these words.
Beautiful!

Brilliant! Opens up a whole lot of shit i never looked at before. [Yes, I meant to use that word...]
Using that word fit perfectly
So much of this resonates. Thank you for writing.
