“You shall be called Jonathan, which means 'Gift from God.' To this family, you will be truly a gift of
the Most High. Your mother has been told that she is barren – can have no children ever. You will
be a miracle to her, and to your father - who chose your name when he was still a boy, in
anticipation of a son to carry on his name. They will rejoice at your birth, and you will feel that joy.
As time passes, your parents will realize that you are very different from the son they were expecting to have. Beautiful, yes. Very special to them, yes. You shall grow and be joyful, but you shall not
carry on your father's name. You will not walk. You will not speak. No matter how many Earth years
pass, you will remain a virtual babe in arms.
“I give you the Gift of Helplessness.”
The soul wondered to himself, “the Gift of Helplessness? What kind of Gift is that? I saw others
receiving much better Gifts!”
“This Gift with which I endow you is mysterious and poorly understood. You are aware of the
Contract that you have affirmed; that you would be born with special needs not common to most
humans. You have agreed to enter Earth life in this state, with all of the accompanying trials and
virtues that it entails. The Gift of Helplessness is one of the greatest Gifts. While you are unable to
become independent, or live what they consider a normal life, you will be giving of yourself at all
times. Your Helplessness will aid not only your family, but also everyone you meet, in giving them
an opportunity to grow and develop far beyond the scope they can imagine. Your Gift will allow
others to choose to assist you, and in so doing, learn extraordinary lessons that are hidden to most
humans. They will learn what is truly important. They will learn how to give service unconditionally.
They will learn Sacrifice in ways that others can only dream of. These priceless lessons come
through your Gift of Helplessness, and the sacrifice that you are making in trusting them to see to
your every need; just as all do, in infancy.
“Along with the Gift of Helplessness, I endow you with Joy. Joy in the smallest of things. Joy in living
an Earth life devoid of worry, stress, temptations of the flesh, crises of faith, and fear. You cannot
begin to understand what it means to feel fear – and you will never, ever have to.
“It gives me joy beyond measure to give you your final Gift.
This Gift is given to a very select few who inhabit the Earth.
I now bestow upon you the Gift of Returning to Glory –
guaranteed. Your Gift of Helplessness assures that you will
return Home, to This Side, no matter how long or short your
Earth life is, no matter what occurs during that lifetime, no
matter what your circumstances may be while you are there.
You shall return whole, complete, unscarred, and unsoiled
from sin or error.”
Jonathan felt the angel grin broadly, even though he could
not see him.
He also felt a warmth and peace the likes of which he had
never known. Gone was his confusion about his Gifts. Gone
was his concern about whether or not he really could live up
to his Life Contract. He knew – knew – that he would take
these Gifts and give his parents, their family, their friends,
and even strangers to them, everything he could to help
them achieve the highest level of Life possible.
