Your soul responds to others you have not met.

God’s response to human life is not something that comes from the heaven above. It comes from all sources including you, indeed all people. The response of God is the response of all that is spirit. Your soul responds to the crying out of others whom you have never met and whom you will not meet. Your spirit, your soul, that part of you that is eternal is responding to all prayers that are offered. Your soul is responding to all needs of spirit, and in that response, you grow.

Your soul is growing. That growth occurs independent of a conscious will for that to happen. You do not have to acknowledge the necessity of your soul to grow for it to grow. Souls grow because they are alive, because they have the capacity to be loving. You grow because you are alive, because you have the capacity to be loving. You grow through your experiences in life whether you identify those experiences as the source of growth or not. Growth of all that exists is guaranteed.
