    What determines if our scars and wounds will leave us with wisdom or damage?  Whether we live our lives in love or in fear the probability of pain and heartbreak are equally apparent. Our hearts can break and be easily wounded when we reach out to others in love and we are hurt. Physical as well as emotional hurts can be very hard to bounce back from. There are times in our life when we acquire abusive hurts in our formative years of life that may make dramatic differences in how our lives will develop in the future.

    As the sun comes up tomorrow morning it will be the start of a new day. The world will begin anew in many ways. Many innocent children will be born and many human souls will leave their earthly bodies behind as they are welcomed into heavenly presence.

    Each day brings us very limited and precious moments. We have the ability to choose how to use these moments. As adults we can make choices. We can choose to follow our limited human brains or we can search for higher enlightenment and understanding by opening our hearts to Divine Love.

    Living in God’s Divine Love fills our hearts and minds with a wisdom that surpasses all understanding. It fills us with a strength to Live in Truth and strength to endure the untruthfulness of others life may send our way.

    As an innocent child we are born with a heart of Love. The growth and development of that Love is in the hands of the adults who surround us in our most formative years.

    In my past experiences working in the mental healthcare field I have worked with many adults who were scarred by abuse in their formative years as a child. Reading the many tragic life histories of these children brings tears and leaves a sorrow on your heart that is impossible to forget.

    The child is innately programmed to trust, love and confide in those that care and nurture them. If those in control are harming them, the child does not have the proper developmental tools to understand they are being mistreated. They are only beginning to learn about the world. Their world is love, eat, sleep and play. Learning enters into their lives as they progress in their growth stages.

    “Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.”~ Marianne Williamson~

    It is never to late to choose to look outside of yourself for Divine Guidance. Open your heart to Divine Wisdom and Living in Truth.

    “We are not held back by the Love we didn’t receive in the past, but by the Love we are not extending in the present.”   ~ Marianne Williamson Quote

    Please pray that the children who have been wounded from misguided adults are blessed with Divine healing of the scars from abuse.  Pray that adults in need may find Wisdom, Understanding, Peace and guidance to seek Divine Love so they may experience love in themselves and others.

    “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” – Helen Keller

    With Respect, Joy, Peace and Love,    Carmela

    Although I am many different things to many different people, my heart wishes to be identified with God, as a child of God, an individual who prays for forgiveness, guidance, to know and share unconditional love and gratitude for life. My hopes are that my writings will help to teach gratitude for life, positivity, and an awareness for making responsible choices.

        Thank you for commenting. Life can be such a struggle, communicating with each other and sharing our experiences helps us understand Divine Wisdom and helps us heal. We can be each others earthly life lines when we share Divine Love and Concern. With Respect, Joy, Hope and Love, Carmela
