I found another message to share. It is very different from any of the others; it’s a message from the spirit of a young mother who died in childbirth;
“Come to the bridal chamber, death. Come to the young mother when she feels for the first time her new born’s breath. And so death came to me when I was but a young bride and lived in expectation of a new loving being that would be part of my flesh – and died when my baby came. As life came to it, death came to me, and we missed each other at the very moment that I heard its first cry.
“And when I came to life in the spirit world I was bitter and thought God to be so heartless and cruel to take me from my baby, and was so unhappy, that I wanted to die over again.
“I would like to tell you of my misery and gloom and hatred of my very God, whom I had believed in and thought that I loved, but I cannot now. But this I must say, that my unhappiness was for a short time only, for bright spirits came to me and comforted me. They assured me that I was not separated from my baby, but could go to my baby and watch over him and give him my mother’s love. And so I did, and am now doing, for my baby is now a man, and still I am with him. And I know that I have been a greter blessing to him as a spirit mother, than I would have been had I remained his mortal mother.
“I write this to comfort mothers who have to leave their babies as they come into earth life, and to asure them, that though they disappear from the vision of their loved ones, yet they can always be with them – close and in deep rapport and love with them.
“Death comes as an enemy, but when recognized, only a friend appears. Mothers, thank God for such death and the great consolation it brings to the departing and to those left behind. Goodbye.”
God is not only Good, but He’s Great! It seems to me that in order to experience the greatness of God, we need to strive to love ourselves and others. When we learn to love ourselves, we will be more receptive to God’s blessings. Amen
