Who Is A Truly Caring Friend?
Aquarius is the sign of transformation and transmutation, friendship and kinship with all life. This means that the energies are now right for converting all our relationships into friendships. And when you take a closer look at the people in your life to see which one means most to you, it is sure to be those who refuse to give advice and try to find solutions or cures for your pain, they simply share it. God’s light shines through them and their mere presence and words of comfort flow from their warm and tender hearts, touching and healing your wounds.
Truly caring friends are silent in the moments of our despair and confusion. They stay with us in hours of grief, bereavement and loneliness, just being there for us and content with not knowing how to cure and heal our body and soul’s wounds. The presence of such friends helps us to face and deal with the human predicament of powerlessness before the great issues, like life and death. The living God within such people touches the wounded part of those who are suffering. Unhesitatingly they give of themselves by taking time to comfort and be there for us. It makes no difference if they are thousands of miles away. They make time available for writing a letter, sent by email these days. The blessing and healing power of the Highest flows through their words, comforts the sufferer by bringing new hope and trust in the goodness of the life that has been given to us.
The way these friends behave shows us how God and the Angels embrace all human souls when they are in distress with total and unconditional love, acceptance and compassion. The power of love that is their only motivation is also in us. To show it, all we have to do is approach those who are suffering with simple human kind-heartedness and friendliness, consideration and respect. That’s how in all human relationships the alchemy of love can take place and transform the base metal of even the most difficult connection into the pure gold of a truly caring friendship.
Our Highest Self is the friend who dwells in the innermost core of our being and who loves us the way we always yearned to be loved, totally and unconditionally, deeply caring and never judging us, merely loving and accepting us just the way we are. To paraphrase the words of the Bible’s St. John 14:16-17: ‘The Great Father/Mother of all life has given each one of you a true comforter who is never going to leave you. It is the spirit of truth, although it is part of you the earthly self for a long time fails to recognise it because it cannot be seen with purely earthly vision. Therefore, the small self does not know of its existence. But for each one of you there eventually comes the moment of awakening when you realise that you do know the comforter promised of old, that S/He abides with you and is part of you.’
Love is the law of life. Love and friendship are God’s true nature and our own. This is the kind of love that gives of itself freely and willingly to all Its creations, asking for nothing in return. The Divine spark in every human heart is part of this pure love. Before it ever emerged from the heartmind of God it has been accompanied by this love and forever will be. This truly caring comforter and friend never leaves us and stays with us forever. Through thick and thin, good and evil alike the Heavenly companion walks with its small earthly counterpart, taking part in all its explorations, looking after it and caring for it in all Eternity. Waiting to be called upon, at any time this higher part of our being is willing to guide us safely through anything that yet has to come our way. And each time one of us acts as a truly caring friend towards another, human and animal alike, God’s kingdom on the Earth is established that bit more firmly.
Thank you, Great Spirit, Father/Mother of all life,
For the gift of our relationships.
Please show us how to lift each one of them,
Especially the difficult ones,
Onto the highest level of friendship
Where nothing but total and unconditional
Love and acceptance exist.
In the name of love we ask this,
Your true name and ours.
Amen
