Hold fast, Noble and Great Ones!

Are you in a place of knowing others do not see you, hear you, know you – even persecute you and misjudge you? Perhaps even by family members? Are you willing to love and forgive them anyway? Could you completely forgive them even knowing they will likely never know the true you in this life? If so, you have condescended. 

In a future day of reckoning they will know of the wonderful lost experiences they might have had with you in this life. And your heart will ache in their behalf, as they learn of their misjudgment, negligence, and persecution toward you.

But it will create an emotional sting so penetrating, they will carry it forward into the eternities with greater propensity to show true compassion and understanding toward others – all because you were willing to endure their insensitivities for a lifetime here and now.

Hold fast, noble and great ones. Your patience is not only blessing current and future generations, but future creations and eternal rounds.

    Yes!! 1000 times yes. I feel the truth of this message.When falsely accused, and scorned (especially by a loved one) we hope for vindication and reconciliation in this life. When that doesn’t happen, our consolation is in Christ and in knowing that as we partner with him, growth and ascention may be the result for us both. Your thoughts so beautifully expressed speak peace to my heart. Thank you.

    I love you, I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you!

    Every energy inside of our bodies is constantly seeking love and resolution. We can expedite it by learning to feel, release, and let go of perceived suffering.

    It’s all illusion and veils anyway. Nothing can threaten our infinite self. NOTHING!

    Neither do we truly see those around us… The mercy we give will ultimately return to 100 fold. 💛

    Thank you so much Eric…This is so validating largely because I’ve been living this difficulty for over 16 years now and recently stated to this person that sadly what they could have truly enjoyed in this life & become elevated in our relationship & all we’ve missed out on will be painfully clear only after they pass on to the other side…what a waste but I’m letting it all go & focusing on my own healing & what I can control…me!
    Thank you!
    P. S. I miss you & Julies podcast!
