Recently I’ve been haunted by someone from my past. I didn’t know why they were haunting me and kept asking the God, Spirit and the universe to help me get through reliving situations that occurred with them. It seemed as though everyone I saw, every picture I looked at, was that person. I just couldn’t understand it. It was driving me crazy!
The experiences that I survived and lived through during that time in my life have given me strength, courage and compassion for others that are experiencing similar situations in their life. While I don’t wish anything that happened to me to happen to anyone else; if I had not actually experienced these situations I’m not sure if I would have the compassion, patience, understanding and the right words of encouragement to say when someone would need to hear them, especially now.
Someone very close to me is going through a difficult time as I write this. As I asked for guidance and understanding of the haunting I seemed to be re-living now, it all began to make sense to me. I realized it wasn’t about me; it was about how I can help this person (and others) in their current situation. Yes, it was an ahaa…haa moment for me as it started to unfold!
This person needs to know that I understand what they are going through. They need my love, encouragement, compassion and most of all my quiet understanding. While they may be unable to talk about it right now, I can let them know that I am here when they are ready. No judgments, no ‘I told you so’, just pure, simple abiding love and listening heart.
So you see, sometimes even though we don’t understand the heartaches and pain we've experienced they have, in reality, prepared us to be used as a vessel to lift up someone else’s spirit in their own heartaches and pain. It is much easier to accept and listen to the words of encouragement when it comes from someone that has actually experienced what we, or they, are personally going through.
We are all Angels and we are all truly Angels Healing Angels. And isn’t this what God, the Spirit and the universe are teaching us in our personal journey?
Think about it. What have you experienced in your life that someone else is going through now? How can you help them? For some of us it’s hard to reach out to someone, maybe you need to reach out but don’t think anyone would understand. How do you know they haven’t actually experienced what you are experiencing and can truly understand your situation. After all, aren’t the people that come into our life here for a reason, even if they are only here for season?
