If you’re ever tempted to measure yourself against a neighbor, you might want to rethink why you’re doing that. You are not your neighbor. You are you!
God created you unique and special. You have your own wonderful spiritual way of expressing God that no one else possesses.
You are not your neighbor and your neighbor is not you. You are you.
Love what God created you to be!
Let your individuality shine without worrying about what your neighbor is doing. Be everything God created you to be. It’s awesome!
Love the drawings! yes, can do. Thanks much.
You are “the loved of Love”
I love the message,Evan – but I am troubled by the
picture of a man who seems to have thrown a cat up to
a closed window. If he didn’t, how did it get in mid-air
and be on its way to where it couldn’t get in because
the window is closed? Not long ago I had to say goodbye to my dear little cat, and she used to climb up
a vine outside my bedroom window in the mornings
expecting that I open the window and let her in. Can
someone explain what they think the picture is meant
to convey of good. Perhaps it has fallen from a higher window and the man is catching it – is this what it means do you think? I just troubles me to look at it.
I am sure it is not meant to do that.
Rest assured that the man is rescuing the cat from falling down the ledge. Most definitely.
I think he was catching it not throwing it.
Maggie, I feel that he is holding his arms out to catch the cat, who may be clinging to the window screen and needs a safe place to land. The man has a loving, welcoming expression on his face.
thank you dear Rose. That’s how I see and understand it , too! ♡
Thank you, Kaska – I have calmed down now
and I am sure you are right. It just tried to make
a bad impression on me when I first saw the picture.
I will not look at it again, but just keep in mind the
message that Evan is sending us, that we are created to
be good neighbours and to let God, divine Love, define us as His individual perfect ideas.
Maggie, if you look closely at the image of the cat, it is hanging from the curtains, the man is trying to catch it!
Thank you JRM for your reassurance also – I mustn’t be too hasty with judging in accord with the material senses which I know are
senseless. Sorry everyone – I just wasn’t with it this morning, but I have my spiritual
senses back now in working order!!
When I first looked at the picture, I looked at it (as reading a book –
from top to right) and wondered about the cat falling, also.
mortal mind can very much Try to trick us up into believing …
why would that be in the picture?, but then looking further down,
the man was being neighborly and Catching the cat. The material
senses can be so ready to try to trip us up, if we let them, so we
must always be on guard to see others, (-we are all neighbors),
as well as ourselves as God has created us, perfect in His or Her
likeness.
Thank you very much Evan. From a recent Sentinel Watch podcast with Don Adams, he said ‘God is expressing Himself in us as us’ which relates nicely to Evan’s comments today.
Thank you DavidM-UK. Here is the link:

I have a email signature that goes like this: You are always a perfect you. Your post today reminds me of that signature. Thank you for this wonderful thought.
Thank you for the explanation, as I’m poised to become a brand new AUNT, any moment now, and seeing your email signature offered me an expression to repeat, as I respond to the appearance of this new born. Positively perfect timing. God is WORKING HIS PURPOSE OUT ! !
Love this SV today. Thank you ❣️
Isn’t something how mortal mind will get us to focus on what isn’t true and trip us up from the true message God is giving us. I never even looked at the images I went straight to the message. Did Jesus stop to think about what Satan asked him ” If you are the son of God? ” No he went straight to the written word”
let’s not be distracted.
So true. Love these thoughts.
Beautiful!

Ugh, sorry, have too many links open at once.. Here’s the correct link to the article above:

Beautiful article, J. Thank you. ♥️
It is lovely to think that we all live in “Mister Roger’s” peaceful-type neighborhood
or God’s neighborhood of thoughts. When I first moved here, everyone else had
just lawns and I love flowers and was at first, timid, in not fitting in. A dear friend
had suggested that by planting flowers, it might encourage others to see the beauty
in them and do so also, and it did! In a world of 8 billion people, it is refreshing to
know that we are all unique in our own way and shining our light is a wonderful
way to share our God-given uniqueness with the world. Love is reflected in Love.
BIG HUGS EVAN ! THIS IS JUST WHAT WE ALL NEED. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH, I AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL.
Evan, thank you for this and every topic you so lovingly share with us.
I am not sure who wrote this, but it goes along with the topic today,
“I am in competition with no one. I have no desire to play the game of being
better than anyone. I am simply trying to be better than the person I was
yesterday”. We need not try to “keep up with the Joneses” and are
individuals in our own unique way. So special is everyone in God’s creation –
so special is Love!
Thank you very much. J for both articles; they are both very helpful. The first one is about our real spiritual individuality reflecting the one infinite divine Individuality!. That is a conversation with Don Adams and very inspiring to listen to.
The second one I’ll finish reading tomorrow, as here is bedtime now.
Thank you dear Evan! I’m very grateful for this special wonderful message about us all as God’s idea, each one being a very special idea, God’s very loved expression and individuality!
love and hugs to. a l l. for the lively and loving conversation here on this healing and blessing SpiritView Blog! ❤️
