Free Will

Journaling my journey - Debra Clemente

So many have questions about free will, Father. So many wonder why there is such pain in the world. I believe I am beginning to understand the reason, the way of Your Plan. But I need help with the words. Please give me the Truth to speak so ears that desire to hear may hear clear. I remain open to receive your answer whenever it is delivered unto me.

Yes, remain open to me. Remain open you must be, but upon the decision of your free will this decision rests. Now, does this very Truth give you a clue as to what each needs to do? I have told you before that there is a door. You believe it is closed, but it is not. It is your mind that is closed, closed to the Truth of Me within thee, within all. And yes, this goes back to the story of “the Fall.” But now is the time to get beyond all of that, for I have a given you a “New Way,” a new way to be. This is the Good News, each has the option to be as One with Me.

There is Heaven and there is Hell. Both are ideas. Both are modes of thought and just because you experience Hell does not mean God forgot, for I forgot none. You came here to choose, to choose whose will you would use. I didn’t “make you” remember me. I don’t “make you” do a thing. If I “made you” to do as I say, just puppets you all would be. Are you beginning to see, to understand My plan?

I did not place you in Paradise. I placed you on Earth. But life on Earth is not a curse. It is a place of opposites, choices to be made. Each makes his own bed and thus lies in it, and time and again returns to the life of his making, of this own will. Until the day he has had enough and gives up. Until the day he throws up his hands and lets go of all his attempts to control. And then he shouts out that he can no longer do this alone an thus at this moment he begins his journey Home.

You are each so attached to this idea of control, self control, that it takes awhile to totally let go of the reins and allow me or allow the will of God to be your way. But as you do, as you trust in Me, you shall so see the Great Glory in My Plan. You did not come here, in this body you have on Earth, for everything always to be just “hunky-dory,” to have people bow down to you and give you glory. You came to serve. You came to live, to see the difference it makes when you choose to live through Me.

What is this difference? It is Peace and Joy wherever you may be, despite what “in the outer” is happening. But until you taste just even a bit of the Peace I promise, you will not understand how it can be so. That is why others have said that this Peace I give is “the Peace beyond understanding,” for man of his own mind, of his own will comprehendeth not.

So you see pain. You see misery. You see injustice and you do not see Me. You do not see Me working within. All you see is the outer. All you see is the “sin.” But this pain is exactly what brings My people back to Me. All will come eventually, in time that is. As this is how you see. But from My view, all are here now. All is well in My fold. All is well with Me.

Within an illusion you live, this you call reality. This way you see is just a dream in the large scheme of things. It is a place to work and play, hate and love. It is a place of choice, a choice of all of the above.

I can tell you no more that any other ears may understand. This is why each must come to Me. I hold out My Hand. Ask Me to help you know, to know within your own heart what is right and true. Ask Me to help you show you what to do. Ask Me to fill you with My Love, which is My Truth, and I will. I will My darlings, open a whole new world for you. Amen. My Peace, I give you.
