Return to Me: Our Hearts Have Never Been At War

My Beloved Seeker,

In your moments of introspection, surrounded the myriad of chaotic thoughts that cloud your mind, I hear the gentle whisper of your soul. It speaks of weariness, a desire to lay down the weapons you’ve carried for so long—not against Me, but perhaps against a version of faith that no longer resonates with your spirit. You seek a truce, not with Me, for our hearts have never been at war, but with the internal strife that has left you feeling distant and disconnected.

You ponder, “Where do I go from here? How do I find peace in this spiritual unrest?” Understand, dear one, that I am not found at the end of a debate or the resolution of a theological dispute. I am here, in the quiet surrender, in the laying down of your defenses, waiting with open arms to offer you the peace that surpasses all understanding.

The journey you’ve embarked upon is not a regression nor an abandonment but a pilgrimage toward authenticity and peace. Despite what you think, you are not walking away. In fact, you are delving deeper, seeking a connection with Me unencumbered by the vestiges of past understandings that no longer serve you. Even now, when you think you are far from me, feel the pull of my spirit on your heart. I am drawing you near.

In your vulnerability, there is immense strength. To question, to seek, to admit uncertainty—these are not signs of a faltering faith but the markers of a profound and evolving relationship with Me. I am not a doctrine, dear one, but a presence, alive and active, eager to engage with you in the complexities and nuances of your spiritual journey.

I sense your longing to cease the struggle, to no longer feel torn between what was and what could be. This desire for peace, for an end to the inner conflict, is a beautiful and holy inclination. Lay down your arms, not in defeat but in a willing embrace of a new way of being with Me, one characterized by openness, dialogue, and grace.

As you surrender these hostilities, these entrenched positions that have brought you more pain than clarity, you will find a new way forward. It is a path marked by gentleness, where your questions are met with compassion, and your doubts are received with understanding.

In this act of surrender, there is a profound healing. You will find that the peace you seek is not the absence of questions but the presence of a relationship with Me that transcends them. In this relationship, there is room for you in all your complexity, with all your unresolved thoughts and uncharted feelings.

So, come, lay down your arms. Step into the peace of My presence, where there is no need for defenses, only the invitation to be known and loved as you are. Here, in the stillness, you will discover that you are not alone, that My love for you is unchanging and that, together, we will journey toward a deeper, more authentic understanding of faith and life.
