“The warrior of Light gives before he is aksed”

“ask, and it shall be given to you,
seek and you shall find ”

IS GOT NOT A WARRIOR Of LIGHT,

why must we ask before it is given to us ?

because from HIS/HER side it is always availble, God’ blessings are availble for all equally, for the saint and also for the sinner. it is because we are like upturned vessels ( because of our ego ) kept in the rain, it collects no water, no blessings.

when we ask we are reday to receive, when we seek we are ready fo find, without our will and coperation god’s blessings are not availble to us, god does not infringe upone our freedom to choose !

Yes neela, God is light, it is like King and his army, god is like light and us mortals are warriors of light ( some conscious to the fact others not ), just as King is not separate from army, army’s defeate or victory is king’s defeate or victory, same way god is in wols, someohow i don’t see god and u and me as separate entities, it is all toghether, looked from differnt perspectives this multitude appears.

Annie dear, on a lighter note “and he is free not to choose and he is free not to act, but just enjoy a cool siesta whenever s/he pleases !”

A nice phrase that perhaps we should incorporate into our prayers. Instead of asking God: Give me this or give me that, we should say, Please, God, give me the good grace and generosity to give to others before I am asked.

She looked him and thought:

What beatiful must be your Soul if what I see of you is so nice…!
What could I ask that you have not already given me?

Perhaps , sometimes , It´s not necessary to ask nor to give .

Quand je donne, je suis heureuse de faire plaisir aux autres. Un jour, je pensais donner et faire plaisir et je me suis trompée. Alors, je me suis demandée pourquoi et en quoi me suis-je trompée ?

J’ai compris une chose de cet évènement : pour savoir bien donner, il faut aussi savoir bien recevoir.

Ce n’est pas toujours facile. Beaucoup d’entre nous sont genês lorsque on leur fait un compliment, un cadeau,…et pourtant, c’est avant tout un cadeau d’amour que l’on nous offre.

Je m’oblige toujours à y penser parce que je sais que cette énergie se transformera en moi et qu’à mon tour je pourrais la transmettre aux autres.

Translate :
When I give, I am happy to please the others. One day, I thought of looking and of pleasing and I made a mistake. Then, I wondered why and in what did I make a mistake ?

I understood a thing of this event: to know well how to give, it is also necessary to know well how to receive.

It is not always easy. Many of us are hampering when we compliment them, a present, and nevertheless, it is above all the present of love that we offer us.

I always oblige to think of it because I know that this energy will be transformed into me and that in my tour I could pass on her to the others.

Because he uses his intuition and ‘feels’ what other’s may want from him…
But sometimes even if he ‘knows’ what other’s want, he has to go on pretending he doesn’t know. ;] Because his ‘duties’ do not allow him. This is the most painful minute.. and he seeks shelter in … solitude and God and … continues dreaming..
LOVE,
Thelma.

I agree. However, before giving today, I verify deep inside me why I am tempted to give, or have this urge to give, for I gave a lot in the past to be loved, recognized, accepted uncounsciously. And I gave also because I felt ashamed, guilty, pity. The Warrior gives love … here I go with words now! All of a sudden I prefer the word “share” than “give” … I share the Light that I received, the Love, Understanding, Listening, Insight, for I know those are precious gifts. Intuition tells me “give”, “share”, like it tells me, “wait, if you give this now, the other won’t have understood his experience since you are saving him, and mostly you of no more touching the guilt or the souffrance that has arisen inside you”. For me, God gives before I ask, and sometimes I do not receive what I asked or not now, because He has this love for me to become conscious, of understanding, of integrating, of living the experience to bring me to a greater level. I am that kind who gives in my soul automatically, but I learned to be sure of the gift I wish to offer … for it must be pure, transparent, authentic, a gift that will give life …

I always treasure how you give the old lady on your way, your school lunch money, Annie. What a big Heart you have sis! Like in the Norwegian fairy tail…Askeladden helped an old lady who had her long nose stuck in a piece of wood, and she later helped him to win his princess.

yes annie

giving is a pleasure, it feels nice when we are able to be of help to someone.

but ( as always this but is not going to leave me soon ), should giving be a pleasure, does it not mean someone is in inferior cirumstances than the giver, cannot help but be reminded of a dictate from someone big ( Zesus ? ) “right hand should not know the charity left is doing”, in hindi there is anothr saying “neki kar kuain mein daal ( do good deeds and then throw them in a well, menaing don’t remember and harp upon it”

“I cannot not give” i understand your feeling. keep up the good work annie dear.

love

Well,bit long story.Lets say nowadays jobs are hard to find, and in addition I must get through exams in that period. So, I am forced to be do as others desire,for now. At least hope the big try, final exam to be a success, as a reward for my pains. Than, destiny might change much. Thanks for asking. More, I try to send house, is big, and change for one smaller, that way I could get money. But no client …Very tough. Savings gone.But, God will help. I am sure, as other times He did.
Bye,
Love
Alexandra
