A father unexpectedly loses the job that he’s had for years while trying to support his family. Terrified, with his wife and children to care for, he is forced into the unknown.
A mother loses her child in a tragic and unexpected accident, and must grieve the loss of a life not fully lived, filled with confusion as to why her baby was taken from her.
Life has the potential to shock us with the unexpected, leaving us in the wake of utter confusion and disarray. We riddle our minds with why certain things happen, and why life seems to be at odds with us.
Our understanding fails us in these moments.
We face the fragility of our expectations, and of the way we think things are supposed to happen.
What we usually cannot see when we are facing devastation, is that there is a deeper intention underlying the disarray of our experience. The circumstances, relationships, and happenings in our life are orchestrated in such a way to serve one primary purpose:
To break our hearts wide open.
This is so that we may know the power a love that is free of conditions, and that we may overflow with a relentless compassion that is destined to quench the thirst of every heart.
So that we may cultivate a depth of empathy that is God-like.
This doesn’t mean that it is easy, it makes sense, or must feel good – in fact, it usually doesn’t. But it is only through being entrenched in the depth of human experience, where we become broken open to the strength, compassion, and unconditionality of Divine Love.
These moments of devastation and confusion are part of a higher design. They are part of a code, of a universal patterning to help us evolve – to liberate Spirit from matter.
There is rhyme and reason behind everything that we go through.
The intelligence of life is never trying to disempower us into victimhood, but rather life is sculpting us, molding us, and gracing us with wisdom so that we may become the incredible masterwork that we were always destined to become.
