No 49 of Living Life Series 1
Saints up high are all embracing and nurturing. They are not judgemental as many humans would be. We must see this truth.
We should neither see the man in saint nor the saint in man. God and saints are above man.
This reality is comforting for we know they will bless us if we pray whole-heartedly to them even if we have our dark side. They do not exclude us just because of our human weaknesses. They nurture the spontaneity in us to be good so that we increase the length, breadth and depth of goodness. Thus it is to be expected that they look after the welfare of all.
We should not feel guilt and preclude ourselves from the blessings of Heaven just because we have human flaws or dark side. Often, this erroneous mental stance distances us from divinity and divine blessings in our life.
Saints see the good in us and not condemn us for the bad. That is why all of us have every chance to be good and to be with saints.
Even those in hell and even those who, in eyes of fellow men are far from spiritually correct, may still be embraced by saints to be assigned spiritual roles or to be blessed.
Often we wonder why heaven is blind, why the bad seems to be rewarded but the reality is that we do not have helicopter vision of the saints. We are not far sighted and do not have 360 degree vision to know the past, present and future of these men. We tend to view them as rotten, simply because what are most obvious are the rotten aspects of them here and now.
Do be mindful that the saints up high are not men and we should not see men in saints nor expect saints in men. Thus we must have the correct mental disposition in order to be able to access divinity. We must narrow the gap that distances us from the heavenly saints.
