God said:

It is so easy to make promises. So easy. When the time comes, however, it’s a lot of trouble. The time is not far off now. It’s immediate now, and you have to go out of your way. You’re not so sure any more. You think that you might rather stay home. The thing is you made a date that, as it approaches, you’re not so sure about.

Let Us say that before you were born, We sat down together, you and I — I say you and I as though We are separate Beings. That is just for convenience, isn’t it? You know that. At least you know that I, God, fully accept that We are One, and Oneness is All.

So, let Us say that We are talking knee to knee here, you and I before you were born. You know that you will be arriving on Earth any day now. We look over your record, so to speak, and you speak up that you want to grow tremendously while you are on Earth. You say things like: “Let me learn this and that when I am fifteen or thirty or fifty years old. Let this or that happen so I will grow.”

I say, “Are you sure about this? Maybe we could make it easier for you.”

You say, “No, no. I’ll tackle all this.”

That’s what I mean when I say it’s easy to make a commitment when it’s far off. Yet far off does come, and it’s today, and you protest to Me or to the stars: “This is too much for me,” you say. “I can’t do this. You shouldn’t ask this of me, God. It’s like I am Abraham, and You are asking me to sacrifice my son. You are asking me to go through suffering. I didn’t ask for this woe. I couldn’t have.”

And yet you did. Somewhere long ago you made a promise. Everything has been set in motion, and, so, whatever you are going through, you go through, and you come out the other end of it.

I do not make light of what your personal trials may be. I say that you must bring yourself to the Light.

You say, “But, God, I am just a mere human being.”

You and I have a different take on what a human being is, and what a human being can do.

In any case, this, whatever this is, is what you have.

You didn’t complain about the easy moments. In fact, you may not even have expressed appreciation for the easy times, the good times as you call them. You took them for granted. You thought you were due them, that you had earned them, and that they were coming to you.

That may indeed be so. I am not talking about credit any more than I am talking about blame. When money comes to you, you spend it. When something comes to you that you don’t want, absolutely do not want, you’re sure that a mistake has been made. You may even shake your fist.

Your life is at your will. If you can’t get out of something, then you have to go at it in good grace. It is much better for you to take responsibility than to shirk it. Let Us say that you are 100% innocent, then you still have to deal with it. You can’t throw it over like a hot potato to someone else. Whatever fix you’re in, it’s yours to fix.

You can give your money away. When it comes to woe, it is for you to come shining through.
