Aloha,

Years ago I realized that no matter what the question love is always the answer and no matter what sort of problem we are having if we respond with love the results are far superior. Angels only have one response to anything: love. They just don’t have the capacity to judge anyone or anything. Imagine what would happen to your life if you were freed from any thoughts of judgment.

I frequently get questions about forgiveness. When we feel wronged or betrayed by someone it is often a struggle to even entertain the idea of forgiveness no less actually forgive them. Yet if we see things through the eyes of love we are free of the judgment that creates the need for forgiveness.


Both Buddha and Jesus talked about forgiveness. Jesus on his Sermon on the Mount said, “But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who
hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If
someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give
to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do
not demand it back.”

In other words, no matter what respond with love. That is a tall order for most of us but if we develop a deep relationship with our angels it becomes much easier. When we pray and meditate on a regular basis connecting with angels can become a wonderful way of life. Monday I wrote a post on how to meditate. Today I am going to talk a little bit about prayer.

Prayer is an opportunity to begin having a dialog with the divine. In a dialog there is a give and take. We pray and then listen for the answer. There are lots of books on how to pray and many resources here on Beliefnet. I particularly enjoyed this photo gallery and this article of readers responses.

Begin a dialog with the angels. Begin talking to them a lot, all day long. Ask them to help you see life through their eyes and you will be amazed at what a different world you suddenly begin to live in.

With love and aloha,
Susan
