Dearest Love...

Thank You, Lord. Thank You for answering my heaviest plea. You have *always* responded to my deepest, most concerning moments and You have never *EVER* failed me! I'm so blessed...because of You.

Through You and the practice to choose good with my free will, I was able to experience strength, courage, and initiative...the ability to passionately and respectfully express truth, openness, and deep feeling. I've never been able to do it so well as I had done the other day.

And I was able to learn something as well: The key to open sealed doors. I need to master this lesson to grow in my relationships with others.

This key. This lesson: Translation in the way we love. It's so simple!

Evil heat and strain is *NEVER* planted on its own. Hatred and resentment towards another sprouts from a lack of focus with one's initial intentions that may have been formerly sincere.

You must find the willingness to translate the difference in communication between you and the one you face.

You must see past the words spoken and the expression given to look deep into the heart of the matter.

We are each *extremely* different in how we present the messages we want to convey. ~Are we capable of seeing past our defenses?

Is it possible that the situation may simply come from being lost in the translation, which causes the upset?

The foreign and the unknown can be terrifying. To think that the foreign unknown is being exposed and interacting with the unfamiliar...I can see it now: My reason for my need to practice patience and the understanding.

There is love that can be given to no end. That's why those who genuinely love can become vulnerable and affected so easily by the expressions and words that we may or may not do and say. They then lose themselves in their lack of depth perception.

Lord, help me to master this realization so that I can be of better assistance to my family and friends. Help me to always think outside of my limited human thoughts for everyone to become that much closer to the concept of life: unified.

In Your name I pray,

Amen

Gluttony

It's *not* a beautiful thing.
