The Icing on the Cake

You have been led astray. You have misled yourselves. Each time you focus on the “rules” you attribute to God you are pulling your focus away from the God idea and into the man idea. For the only idea of God is “Love,” love pure love, the purest of love, Divine Love, the sacred heart of God, the sacred heart of Christ, all ideas of God who is love. This is to be your focus. This love is what you are to attune your heart and mind to. Think on this: The power of God’s love.

Jesus Christ told you this. Above all else, He said, seek the Kingdom of God. Love God with all your heart, soul and mind. To love God is to love the love of God, to desire God’s love, to thirst for God’s love, to be passionately and innately hungry for God’s love. This is the devotion we are to possess, to live with, to contemplate, to ask for blessings of.

This is what is right and true. God is love, the highest and most divine form of love there is. The love Paul spoke about to the Corinthians. The love that is kind, patient and not judgeful. This is the love God already has for us. But wait, there’s more. God has made a special offer to all His faithful, the ones so full of faith in the power of His magnificent love that they are devoted to it. They pray for it. They ask on bended knee for the infilling of such love. God’s deepest desire is to shower all of mankind with His healing Divine Love, the love that transforms hearts and opens eyes and ears to truth.

Yes, God has always loved, deeply loved each of us. But because of the free will He gave us to create our lives as we desire, He will not and cannot force His will, His love upon anyone. But now God has a new deal for us, an offer, the “Good News” Jesus was telling us about, “His love.” God will freely and lavishly gift each repenting heart who so truly desires His love with His love. God’s love is the most powerful substance in the universe thus can only be dripped drop by drop like an intravenous line into one’s heart. But oh, when you get just a taste and you understand the gift you have received you will want more and you shall ask and you shall receive.

So what is a repenting heart? Is it a perfect pure heart? No, for only God’s love purifies hearts. A repenting heart is one that says he has had enough of his own ways, that he chooses the will of God. But most importantly he chooses the love of God. The will of God is just the natural course of action that will come. You see as more and more of God’s Divine Love fills and transforms your heart your will is so very naturally and easily and comfortably changed into the will of God.

You will have no choices to make between right and wrong, for God’s love will have so transformed your heart you will do no other that “what Jesus would do.” The rules man has created and attributed to God are not needed for your thoughts and actions are so ever supernaturally aligned with the highest good for all. Peace, love and joy will prevail in your heart, mind and soul. Your very being will change. You will become a new person. After the man Saul was so filled with the love of God he changed his name to Paul. Remember the wisdom, the wisdom of God which filled him, and the love of Christ of which he spoke? These are the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the gifts of God, which come upon those so devoted to the knowing and receiving of God’s love.

So what do you have to do to receive this Love into your own heart? Open it. Open your heart and open your mind. Come unto to the Lord as a little child, full of the wonder and trust of a child. You do not have to understand God to understand God is love. All know some love, but not all know God’s love. All can so know God’s love if and when they want to. Remember, this is not a one-time thing, it’s a process, a continual process of asking, and receiving, a process that flows so naturally and gracefully that nothing is more perfect. The more you get the more you want and all you will truly want is God’s love. It’s the icing on the cake of life, the tastiest and most beautiful icing that becomes the bread of life allowing full communion with God. Come to my table and eat and drink, says the Lord. My love is the all sustaining bread and wine you have hungered and thirsted for. Come eat, drink and be merry.

Do what you have to do, My word will always be here for you. Many will deny for they do not know My voice, of course this is their choice. My will, I will not impose on any unwilling soul. I so love all my children as they are. But oh so rejoice when they come home to live in the fullness of My heart of love. I have prepared a banquet for the celebration.

More Than One Way

The role of any way-shower, guru or faith practice, which leads to Truth, is as a guide and not a destination in it’s self. Their proper goal is to lead their follower to the knowing of each one’s Inner Wisdom, the eternal loving Father, Mother of all.

These statements come to mind just after a question has come to my mind.

I know that of which I speak. I speak Truth through this pen in your hand.

My husband says, “You are possessed by that paper.” and I agree.

Say what you like and if you like what someone else does tell them. Everyone enjoys an encouraging word.

So many people are afraid to question life, to question God, as if to do so is a sin or error thinking. Actually, the error that occurs is that one does not ponder God and thus misses the opportunity to know God and the fullness of life in God’s love.

You are full of joy. Joyful you are. Be joy to the world.

There is a way, more than one way, more than one chance, more than one opportunity to know God. God gives up on no one. Don’t give up on God. God is good. Good for all. Yea God!

You cannot pull anyone closer. You can only draw near with your light, with your love, which is My Light and My Love, Debra of God. Life is very flavorful and has many layers of flavor. Come taste My Sweet Life. Let Me treat you to the Life Divine.

There is nothing bad about technology, nothing. No power is bad or good in its self. It is all a matter of how the power is used and that each is considered as a tool to ultimate understanding of truth, good for all.

Tell Me something good. Look for it, see it and talk about it. How do you know what is good for you? It is that which feels good and harms none. It is important to feel good everywhere and all the time.

You want to speak. You want to be heard. Everyone does. Everyone wants to be heard. We do as well. Thanks for listening. There is much to be learned by listening. When you can observe without judgment, you will know you have arrived, arrived unto My Kingdom.

Who’s keeping track and what are they keeping track of? There is no contest. It is the will of the Father for all to share in His bounty and the Lord’s bounty is endless.

New Found Peace

2/5/2014

Sign of peace, there shall be no real peace until each finds Peace within, within their heart and mind. And then their hearts and minds become at peace with each others. Then “new found Peace” is thrust into the outer manifesting peace with every breath. This is the breath of Life, the breath of Peace which God breathes into each, to be found, to be sought, to be claimed, to be proclaimed. Give each a sign of peace, a smile, a hug, a handshake. Peace be with you and with you.

Look Within

I am a drop of water in the ocean of life. A part of the whole, there is no separation. We are all One.

It’s easier to imagine Oneness with the analogy of being a drop of water in the ocean of life for you have touched and thus understood the physical form of the ocean. The body of Spirit, Spirit as One and you as an inseparable part of this, is a notion that escapes your mind. That is alright for your heart has this understanding. When you follow your heart and not your mind, you will always find your way home.

Give no mind to what you do not want for yourself or any other. Separate yourself. Raise your consciousness above the matters of matter. Here you will find peace for you, which is a peace so strong and lovely that it has the power to give peace to the all. When you recognize the ego you are giving credence to the idea of your separateness. When you deny the ego you are able to recognize the wholeness of life in Spirit and feel a part of such.

We know the power matter holds. It is full of energy, a force very strong. It bombards your senses. It says look here see what is wrong. And then it says look over here gain this, buy this and feel better, feel good. But no one tells you the good feeling is just for a moment for your eyes are so weak they can not stay centered on good, even if it is true good for only but a moment.

This is why we tell you to shut your physical eyes to the world and look within for strength and beauty. Here you will find peace and tranquility. Here lies God, your God connection to all. The more you can stay centered in this knowing, the more you will be God showing to all in the outer, for when the inner and the outer are the same you are whole and reside in Heaven.

Regular Practice

Practice makes perfect.

Sometimes I wonder why “church” didn’t do it for me.

It’s about having a spiritual practice. “Church” as you say it, can only do so much for you just as “gym” can only do so much for you. You can go once a week and sit in a church pew and listen to another talk a spiritual talk and as well you can go sit on a gymnasium bleacher and listen to another give you a pep talk on the virtues of “working out” and being physical. But neither is any good unless you take those ideas and put them into a regular practice for yourself.  Every spiritual coach and or physical coach would tell you the same; you have to do the work yourself.

Know, No Fear

Trust all is well, this is what is meant by having faith in God. God is good so we are to believe as God’s children that all of God’s goodness is available to each of us as well. We are to trust in God, trust in God’s goodness, purely and completely, without doubt or fear. For God is Love and Love does not know fear. No fear, God is near waiting in love with love to welcome all to the center of His heart Eden, Heaven on Earth.

When you know something you are sure, you are certain, you are confident. I know I am loved. I dwell in the house of the Lord, the Lord of love. I have built an altar in my heart for God’s Divine Love. God has told me, yes told me, that I am safe, safe in love.

Fear not My beloveds. Know Me. Know Love. Know, no fear.


When we worry we are fearing, fearing bad, fearing not being totally cared for. We are imagining living outside of God’s love. Did you know this? Had you ever thought of it this way? Rethink what it means to surrender to God, to surrender to the power of Love. Love is power, the most powerful energy of all, the energy that creates worlds, worlds of good, the energy that is available for the asking in each moment. Ask and it is given. Ask for God’s guidance, care and love. Then listen. Heed. Give thanks and share the love.

When you want to know, you ask. When someone wants to know they will ask, when they are interested. They have to have interest to care, to care what you say. So until you are asked, save your breath. Breath deep, know and trust that living well is the best you can do to show what you know.

Nothing is bad or good in itself. It just is. It is what you make of it. It’s what you think of it that matters, that matters to you. Someone else may choose to think entirely differently about the subject at hand and thus have a different experience and that is okay for it to be that way. No one is to judge another for their personal choices. It is certainly enough to concern yourself with making the right choices for you. But here’s the good news, when you choose God, you choose good, you choose Love at every turn and all is good in return. It can be no other way when you choose God’s way.
