Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “A Reason for Everything.”
Message Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “When you begin to increasingly count your blessings, spontaneous feelings of love and praise to the Giver of all will more and more rise up in your heart. This opens the heart for further gifts, which in turn lead to more prayers of praise and thanksgiving. Therewith your heart is being transformed into love. Love for each one you meet, not just for those nearest and dearest to you, but a love that transcends all on the earth-plane.
“True thanksgiving is spontaneous. It is never a formality. This thanksgiving develops a joyful heart that will grow so powerful with love towards the Creator that despair and depression flee.
“Therefore, open your inner and outer eyes every new day and find something to be thankful for. It can be a situation in which you have learned a lesson, which could not have been learned otherwise.
“Remember the circumstances in which you find yourself, are there to teach you. Every situation and every circumstance contains a lesson. It is up to you to decide if you are having an easy time or a difficult one.
“When you come from an open, grateful heart, you will have an easy time, but if your heart is closed, grumbling, being critical or finding fault, you will be having a difficult time, indeed. You will stay in that situation until you remedy yourself and show Me that you have learned that particular lesson.
“Children of great promise sometimes endure the hardest lessons, so they become strong and resilient.
“Be ever thankful and praise God. There is a reason for everything, and even if you land yourself in situations by your unwise choices and decisions, God ultimately makes everything come out right. Just give God a chance and thank Him for all the good He still holds in store for you.
“In this manner you will never be bereft of love and you will build your faith and trust in Him. Be like a little one, feeling secure and well cared for.”
