We all come to bring a message. Whether its a message of peace or love or courage or strength or compassion or wisdom. Part of my message, I believe, is compassion. I am a major work in progress to be sure. But still, I aspire.
i was reflecting on this today and wrote this short passage. I thought I’d share it here because compassion is a message we can all work on bringing to this troubled planet that we inhabit together.
I am a messenger of compassion.
I am a being of great compassion.
I am a messenger of compassion.
I am generous in my compassion.
I give compassion freely.
You do not have to earn my compassion.
For I am a being of compassion and I have come to offer compassion to all.
Compassion is my message.
Compassion is why I am here.
I am here to offer compassion.
I am here to learn how to extend compassion to all.
I am here to be a beacon of compassion.
And so I am learning, and test after test I am learning.
Sometimes I pass the test and sometimes I fail, but all the while, I am learning to become the being of great compassion that I am.
And so I rise up and I start again.
And I endeavor to offer the compassion that I have come to offer.
I endeavor to be the being of compassion that I am.
I endeavor to offer my compassion to all, whether I am understood or not understood. Whether I am treated kindly or treated poorly. Whether I agree or disagree.
None of this matters now.
Its’ all simply a test to assist me in delivering more perfectly the message I’ve come to deliver.
I am a being of great compassion.
I am a being of great compassion.
I’ve come to extend compassion to all and I will deliver it as best as I can.
I am a messenger of compassion.
I am a messenger of compassion and I offer my compassion to the world today.
I am a messenger of compassion.
I am a messenger of compassion and I extend my compassion to all.
We all have a message to bring. Some are here to bring a message of compassion. Some are here to bring a message of love. Some are here to bring a message of strength and courage and power and confidence. Some are here to bring a message of wholeness. We each have a message to share and we each have something to learn. Ask today: What is my message? What have I come to share and to offer? We can offer our message wherever we are and with whatever we are doing.
If you are not sure what your message is pick a spiritual principle that you would like to cultivate, such as love or compassion or wholeness or balance or wisdom or confidence or strength or sensitivity and begin the process of cultivating it and offering it today. We can all have more than one message too.
Offer your message today and be gentle with yourself because you will be tested and you will pass some tests and fail others. All tests serve to strengthen your ability to offer your message regardless of what is going on around you.
Rise up in your strength and seek to offer that which you have come to offer. Rise up and bring the message that you were born to deliver. Rise up and offer what you have come to offer.
Be patient with yourself for you will do this imperfectly. Be patient with yourself because this is a process. Be patient with yourself for you will have to dig deep to learn consistency.
Be patient with yourself but be disciplined.
As you learn to offer your message more consistently your whole life will evolve and transform.
Ask today: what is my message and seek to offer that which you came to offer and you shall be satisfied.
