A good friend recently shared this song with me by Jai Jagdeesh.
She texted it to me while I was working at my computer. I figured I’d listen while I typed out a few emails.
But that’s not what happened. As soon as the first line was sung, I stopped and listened.
With tears streaming down my face, I was struck by words I didn’t know I needed to hear.
I immediately felt the presence of Divine Love show up… like a great, tender mother whispering every true thing into my heart + soul.
This is the conversation I had with Divine Love, as I cried at my desk…
Divine Love: Know you are loved
Me: Oh, wow… {tears}
Divine Love: Rest in peace
Me: I really need rest and peace… {more tears}
Divine Love: Dream your sweet dreams
Me: But I have so many dreams… {tears, tears)
Divine Love: ‘Til your soul is released
Me: Yes… {still more tears}
DL: Beloved child, my heart is yours
Me: Oh, to have your heart is such a gift…
DL: Beloved child, go out and open doors
Me: I want to, so badly…
DL: With your love
Me: Thank you for seeing the love in my heart…
DL: With your faith
Me: Oh, I have so much faith…
DL: With your compassion
Me: {tears}… my heart breathes compassion…
DL: With your grace
Me: Yes, grace… that I might lead with grace…
DL: Oh, with your grace…
Me: Thank you for seeing me… {double the tears}
DL: Beloved child, you are the light of the world
Me: Oh, that you would believe in me… see me…
DL: Beloved child… Go out, spread light to the world
Me: With all my heart, that’s what I long to do…
DL: Be strong, be kind, be brave
Me: Always, always…
DL: Know your mind
Me: Deep breath, yes…
DL: Know that you’re divine
Me: I forget sometimes… but yes…
DL: Know that it’s alright to be afraid
Me: {tears}
DL: Know you are loved
Me: Oh, thank you…
DL: Rest in peace
Me: I can feel you holding me…
DL: Dream your sweet dreams
Me: So much tenderness…
DL: ‘Til your soul is released
Me: Yes, I can feel my heart becoming lighter…
{the song goes on for a bit… music slowly fades out as I wipe tears from my face}
Deep breath. Divine love. Heart-bursting. Resounding truth. Thank you. Thank you.

Here’s a link to In Dreams by Jai Jagdeesh. Listen with your heart and let it be your guide.
You can imagine your soul is singing these words to you… A divine blessing from You to You…
“Beloved child, my heart is yours. Go out and open doors with your love, with your faith, with your compassion, with your grace.”
