The Enlightened Christian

    Those of you who believe in hiding, have learned to live in darkness. Hiding your true intentions, your secret condemnation of your brethren, has blinded you to the Light. You have traded the Light for the false sense of security that comes from posturing, imaging and persuading. There is no gain in deceiving your brethren, for there is no power in your brethren to define your worth. 
    Who you are cannot be hidden from the Light of God, as only God can define who you are, for only God made you. You did not make yourself. God defined you in the beginning as His child and you cannot hide this identity. You can deny it and you can run from it and choose to live in darkness, but the Light of Truth cannot be put out by rebellion. 
    Your silent suffering in the world you have made is void of trust. Trust in God to understand you, to forgive you and accept you, and most importantly to help you overcome your self, that you may one day see the Light of a new beginning. Your hiding began with thoughts of harm to your brethren and will end when thoughts of love bring God’s Light to the shadows of your mind. 
    I pray you will accept the Truth of who you really are.

    So it was in those days that men were walking to and fro as though they were asleep. And God sent them the Truth through the words of his beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and many were awakened - awakened to see as God sees and to know as God knows. To each was given the power to become the sons and daughters of God. A division arose between those who were enlightened, or awake, and those who were still asleep, and it became Divinely forgiving for the enlightened to lovingly carry those who were fast asleep, lest they be lost forever to the illusions of their dreams. And so it is, to this very day, that the world is saved for the sake of those who are awake. 
    I pray you will be patient and compassionate with those who cannot see what you see.

    The sons and daughters of God have nothing to fear, as God's laws have never changed, though the world may struggle to govern against His will. Fear not and know deep within that there is nothing in existence that can destroy God or His children - unless we succumb to the illusion of fear. That which we fear, we raise to a level of false power, trembling at the very thought of it, giving it possibilities because we have begun to believe in it.
    Fear is the beginning of self-condemnation, a sentence we have passed on ourselves that implies that we are helpless to change our fate, that we deserve to be punished and the denial that a correction is in order. Fear is the decision to choose against God, a misbelief that God's power is limited and that He is not interested in the affairs of men. It is a rejection of the atonement of Jesus Christ and His message of a new beginning. Fear is Hell on earth and the most selfish of all human traps.
    Think on this for a moment and realize it need not be so. You can choose differently. You can choose to think like God thinks. Know deep within that every circumstance in your life can change for the better. Every broken heart can be healed. Every error can be forgiven. It is you and your thoughts of fear that are holding your life frozen in time. 
    Oh child of God, come to the awareness that it is His unmistakable will that you receive a new beginning. Your Father in Heaven has not condemned you. For He has patiently and lovingly worked out a way of escape for every trial and tribulation you and your brethren have created. Open your eyes to His Truth this very day and accept God's loving guidance. Feel His very presence and speak to Him with sincerity. Place your whole life in His loving hands. Then, rise up each new day with hope and faith that God is mindful of you, expecting His blessings and extending His love to each person you meet along the way. Your mind will become illuminated with power from on High and put out the darkness of fear.
    I pray you will be strong and decide for the Lord while He may be found.

    You are greater than anything in nature - plant, animal or mineral. You are greater than anything in the vastness of the Universe. You are greater than your possessions. You are greater than your debts. You are greater than your mistakes. You are greater than your illnesses. You are greater than your thoughts. You are even greater than your body, as you are Eternal. You are the greatest creation God has ever made, as you were made to be a companion with Him. Made in His image, there is nothing that is not subject to your will, as God promises to give you the desires of your heart. Exercise your will righteously that you may glorify your Creator. 
    I pray you will come to see that His will and your will are often one and the same.

    Today, if you will hear His voice, is the acceptable day of the Lord. He is speaking to you, Beloved, in your heart of hearts, patiently seeing you as pure as the day He made you. He has lifted you up and out of yourself to that place where all things are possible - where transgressions are forgiven, holding you High to what you may become, never losing faith in you, never ceasing to love you, never abandoning you. 
    He is speaking to you, Beloved, in the early morning hours, at first light, in the stillness of a gentle rain, in the solitude of a whispering wind. He is the God of all and all of nature reveals Him. He is speaking to you, Beloved, through your brethren - even those of little faith - through their sorrows, through their turmoil and through their joys. In His wisdom is Life itself. He is speaking to you, Beloved child of God. He is speaking to you with great Love. 
    I pray you will come to understand His ways and know that Love heals all.
