There are some relationships where only one partner is willing to do this"thing," so below their dignity, as to bless another.
Still, the
relationship will improve if only one party is willing to continue blessing the other with trust in the help from Above.
Even if an abuser will scorn at all this, and is being persistently cruel
emotionally or physically, things are bound to get resolved, one way or
another.
How? The person who blesses gains in self-confidence and
self-worth. Connecting with God's loving kindness for ourselves and others builds up the courage and strength to stand up for one's personal worth and dignity. Because we are becoming aware of our true value, we feel empowered, courageous, and strong. That courage we find within ourselves becomes the power for those blessings to work. The blessings are a manifestation of our new inner strength. If necessary, it even gives the strength to reach out for help from others and to fearlessly walk away from that toxic relationship, with assurance and confidence knowing we will be supported and assisted by Divine Providence. Ultimately, blessings can heal any kind of situation, for it connects us to the Source of all Good.
For many of us, blessing others who have been obnoxious and immensely irritating to us can seem impossible, even if it is for only 10 minutes. So we can begin by asking God to take charge of them. We can release them in God's hands and trust that things will work out one way or another. After, He is capable of handling most anything.
We can give Him a little credit!
We can repeat this inner affirmation for them: "I bless you with all good
and release you to find your good elsewhere.
"If we persist in doing this
with faith, we will see these people moving away from our life.
Blessing others can become a great deal easier when we can learn to connect with the way our Creator blesses us. The more we become aware of the loveof the Eternal Presence toward us, the more we begin to realize that indeed, we are treasured and supported always. We can then let go of our own habitual self criticism, self denigration and self sabotage, for we trust that the Awesome Master of Creation is patient, understanding, and loves us anyway. We realize that in truth, He is waiting for us to turn our attention away from ourselves and our failings and toward Him instead. This is our easiest way to heal.
We are here to honor, inspire and uplift each other and the deeper the bonds of true love, expressed in blessings, the easier it becomes to do just that.
We Have No Idea How Fortunate We Are[G1] <>
We live in wonderful times when much more thorough information is available to us, in the fields of science, in the humanities, in the working of our body, our emotions and mind, and in all kinds of expertise.
The world of science is opening gates of understanding we could never have dreamed of only a few years ago. The more we begin to discover about the intricate nature and uncanny wisdom of subatomic particles, of our physical cells, our DNA, our immune system, our lymphatic system that connects our spirit and thoughts with our body, our energy systems - the more we know the more we become awe struck with deep wonder.
And when we turn our gaze at the harmonizing and creative energies filling the 100 billion galaxies of
our universe, the discoveries are so staggering that we hardly dare to
attune to their reality.
Our great scientists are coming up with awed
statements of reverence for the unseen Creative Intelligent Force that holds this universe together from the infinity of subatomic particles to the infinity of stars and galaxies.
But infinitely more precious than all this is the privilege we now enjoy of having access to much more encompassing information and knowledge in the realms of our higher connections, the realms of our soul and spirit. We are blessed to have the teachings and writings available to us from great saintly souls, heroic pioneers and masters of wisdom from our times and from all the centuries of our past.
