Today Love Wants You to Know #16

Many have and will come to you this lifetime for help. Whether it be emotional or physical, there will always be someone who feels they have less than you or that you have something they need.

We ask that you remember that the best thing you can do for one who is in need is to "hold the space."

When you try to fix or have the answers to all of the questions, you do not allow the individual to find their own strength. In wanting to "make it all better" you can prolong the healing process.

Of course we understand completely the desire to alleviate pain and worry. We admire this desire as it comes from Love. There is a much more productive way to call upon this Love and we call it "holding the space."

If you can, just Be there to listen as one pours forth all the emotions that have reached the "point of boiling." If you can, when you see or feel the need is there, hold a hand or offer a warm embrace. If you can, allow someone to feel all that is coming up even if in doing so they begin to shed tears. If you can, restrain from filling the space with words or actions and you are doing so much more than if you offer solutions.

There are times when what is needed most is a place/moment where it is just okay to Be where one Is. Too many times during this lifetime people have received the message that it is not "okay" to be where they are emotionally. It is always "okay."

Offer this knowing the next time a brother/sister comes to you for help. Do not offer "help." Instead, offer a warm and safe "place" without judgment, fear or answers.

Watch as the person glows after having spent this moment with you, and know that we watch as you both Shine.

Love others as you wish to be loved.
