When My Child Hurts, I Hurt... (heart healing)

When my child hurts, I hurt…

When my child hurts, I hurt. Our children and the children we bond with and love are in our hearts. They are a part of us. When they hurt, we hurt. And yet, they are God’s children just like we are. They have their own paths. They have free will.

Early this morning as I was in meditation – Sunday meditations are always about preparing for the Meditation & Healing Circle – I heard the “you have a text message” jingle on my phone. I felt the pull to check it, but I was busy – I have to prepare.

But I decided to glance at it to make sure it wasn’t an emergency, and I saw the word “EMERGENCY” in all caps. So I read the text – it was from a parent whose young adult child was in pain, in a vulnerable and potentially dangerous situation in a distant city. Answering this call was the preparation for today…

Our children and the children we bond with and love are in our hearts. They are a part of us. When they hurt, we hurt. And yet, they are God’s children just like we are. They have their own paths. They have free will.

So how can we be with the pain we feel when they are hurting, or when we fear for them and we can’t be with them, or when they make choices we don’t agree with?

That is the topic of today’s Meditation & Healing Circle. It’s Question 15 in the upcoming book, The Answer is Love: Questions to Explore as We Transition into an Era of Peace.

NOTE: The following is from an energetic download that came through in a writing retreat. It is shared “as is” with no edits. I do not make claims to speak for God or any other spiritual entity. However, I do recognize that this information is important to share as our planet is evolving. This question and response are part of the upcoming book, The Answer is Love: Questions to Explore as We Transition into an Era of Peace.

My children feel like a part of me. When they hurt, I hurt. When someone hurts them, I die inside. When they choose a path of pain, I feel I have failed. How can I cope with this pain?

Now you know how I love you and all of my creation. You are a part of Me, more so than you can know. And I give you freedom – to choose, to know Me if you wish, to leave Me, to return to Me.

Imagine if you were to give your own blood cells freedom of which way to travel in your own body. Those cells are a part of you. How long could you survive if they chose to travel a different direction or forge a new pathway? How much pain would it cause you? And would they also suffer as a result of your suffering? Of course, they would.

Would they deliver the nutrients, eliminate the waste, be oxygenated or release the carbon dioxide? If they decided they didn’t want to perform functions of their natural laws for which they were created, the whole of you would suffer and die. Pretty quickly. If a faction of cells decided they wanted to take up all the oxygen and leave the dirty waste product jobs to the others, could you survive? No. The whole would suffer, fall ill, and perish. It’s all a part of one whole.

Your children are a part of you, but they live in separate bodies. They are a part of Me and you are a part of Me. As I am in you. We each have our own blood circulating within our bodies, but your health is imperative to My wellness. Your health is imperative to knowing yourself. You are love. Your child’s health is imperative to knowing himself. He is love.

You can discover love through the parts of yourself within your choice and control, and you can know love through the parts of yourself you cannot control – those who make their own choices and have their own separate will. Each teaches an aspect of love, but none is absent of love.

I am in each and every one, every action, every choice. Know your heart. Know yourself. Know me through love. I love unconditionally. You are unconditional love, My breath, My spirit.

May you experience the eyes of God seeing through you to witness the expression of God that appears before you through every aspect of existence.

You’re invited and welcomed to join us live next week – we continue with Section 2: Gender Identity, Gender Roles, Family, Parenting, & Children. The question is: “My grief is so great – will it ever go away? Can I ever make up for the lost time and missed opportunities now that my loved one is gone?”

See you there!
