God's Greatest Creation
February 7th, 2010 1:21 PM
    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.

God is Speaking to You
January 6th, 2010 3:21 PM
    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.

Giving from the Soul
September 26th, 2009 11:44 AM
     Do not tire or grow weary of well doing, for God loves the cheerful giver. Understand that we must first build into the life of another that which we most desire in our own life. We must give it away before we can claim it as our own. It is in giving that we know ourselves to be ourselves, true to our ideals, manifesting and extending God into all things that we pass along to our brethren. Giving from the soul means that we release our gift and let God decide the outcome. In time, we are able to look back over our lives and determine if we have created heaven or hell in the life of another. It seems we are each other's canvas. In this way, we are accountable for each other, profoundly connected to those we have lifted up or sadly trapped with those we have let down. God help us to give out from our souls, for in so doing does the power come to love one another.
     I pray this day you will give out the best of yourself without thought of return.

The Covenant
July 25th, 2009 8:23 PM
    Each soul enters the earth by Divine will, a covenant established in the beginning between the Creator and the created. When we live our lives in respect and honor of our Holy covenant with God, the entire universe will support our mission, because we have remained faithful to God's will for our life. When we are enticed left or right of this covenant, distracted outside the will of God, we suffer much. God help us to remain true to our purpose for being in the earth.
    You may ask, "How may I know what my purpose is? How can I be sure what is God's will for me?" Think on this for a moment. If you truly know God, you must also know what it is God loves, His intentions for His creations, His hope for His children, His desire for their fulfillment and His ultimate goal for their return to Him in eternal grace and peace. If you wish to join the Father, here in the earth, you must be like the Father to each person you meet, exemplifying His great goodness and love in all the relationships you have. You must express your unique talents, which are yours to have and share because you earned them through Divine use. In time, you will become very aware of your individual covenant and purpose in the earth.
    Know, deep inside, that no soul has ever entered the earth by accident and no soul has ever entered the earth without a God-given purpose. Each incoming soul has gained permission from God to be here - the choice having been made by Divine providence, even before birth. The moment of conception speaks clearly of God's intentions, as only God gives Life. Therefore, let no man or woman put asunder what God has ordained, lest they interfere with His purpose for that soul.
    I pray God will give you wisdom to understand your Holy purpose in the earth.

Mission, Not Ambition
July 4th, 2009 1:20 PM
    When we are able to use that we have in hand, the next step will be given to us. It seems we must spiritualize, or maximize, that we know to do, before we can move on to the next step. Life is progressive, moving us ever upward. Successfully using what we have in hand requires a certain measure of good timing, or knowing just when to utilize or express our God-given talents. This process of knowing is usually accompanied by a sense of certainty or sureness, as opposed to wondering or theorizing. Most of us carry this internal certainty about our loved ones, our personal strengths, our goals - most issues that are important to us.
    
God says "I will meet you in your Holy temple," deep inside you, in this place of certainty where Truth and sureness live. When our head gets in the way and much thinking takes over, we lose contact or connection to the still small voice deep inside and Divine guidance is lost. We must learn to move Self out of the way and let God lead. Be mindful each day of this internal urge, knowing the difference between "head talk" and the sureness within. One is ambition and the other is guidance for your spiritual mission here in the earth.
    
 I pray this day you will express and magnify that which you are certain of and let God decide the outcome.
