Grief is Real

6/28/2014

0 Comments

 
You can’t put grief on hold. Let it flow. Don’t hold it back. Grief is real. It is how you feel. How you feel is important, it needs to be acknowledged, recognized and felt, felt deeply, purely. Grief is not to be held in or contained. Grief is a sign of your love and a sign of your feeling of loss. But know this, no love is ever lost. Love lives on and on.

There is a time for all. It is the way it is and should be. You are brought into this world and brought out. To and from where? Love’s true home, your home in Heaven. You always have been in love, wrapped in it, swaddled like a baby. It is not necessary to wait until your last breath to again feel the completeness and wholeness of this love. It is here for you now. As you cry and grieve, as you sing and dance with the breeze, I love you. Quiet that busy mind of yours and listen to Me. Hear the hum of Heaven in your heart. I love you always.

Release Your Hold

6/28/2014

You must make it a daily practice to find opportunities to exchange joy. For each joy seed you plant, a thousand blossoms it will bare. Create My garden of joy on earth. This is the Eden of which is told, continuing to bloom each and everyday for those who look. Yes, the Garden of Eden flourishes still. It’s not just the story of old in the pages of your big book.

You may look at others, oh yes, please do and admire what you will. For what you admire is the will you create for the life you live. All you see, all you hear can be yours. What would you like to know? What would you like to show? See it. Hear it. Think it. This is your life. Your testament is your word, your action, your being.

No limits you have, excepting those you know to be true. Whatever you have decided is. So why limit what you know? Undo the chains that bind your mind. Let go of all you know. For what you know is so little, so small, so meager. I see you living so large, so high, so tall. Whose vision appeals to you now, that of the earthworm or the butterfly? By your choice, your mind, your will, you can be either.

It’s okay to be in a state of unknowing. Yes, it is perfectly fine not to know all the answers. What is important is your wanting to know and believing you can know. This very attitude unlocks the door to wisdom untold. When you feel sure and certain things are a specific way or will be a specific way, you are limiting opportunity. You are limiting your opportunity for better to come into your life. You only will know what you know, when your mind is so set.

Instead, I invite you to release your hold on what you think possible for your life. I invite you to invite in new possibilities. I say, ask only for the best. Say to yourself, “I want, and deserve, and I will have the best life I can have. I open my heart to all the highest and best life has for me. Joy is my destiny.” Ask and it is given. Think what you want. What are you looking at? Rest your head. Open your heart. All of Mine is yours. Don’t block the flow of good coming to you. Sing and shout praises.

Wonder About Me

6/28/2014

0 Comments

 
There was a time when you walked and lived in fear and could only seem to see what was wrong with the world. You felt so lost and alone wandering in a desert of despair. That time is long gone and now your life hums to a new song. Joy is your name. “Joy Be Me” is your claim to fame. No longer do you lay blame.

Wondering is not wandering, though the masses have been made to believe as such. Fear has been instilled in the minds of many. It is the fear of God. As they believe in a judgmental, wrathful God they fear the very thought of pondering God’s mysterious ways. They have been taught that to wonder is to doubt. And that anything close to doubt is sin, very serious sin, separation from God.

But I say, whoa to those who fear Me. Fear and awe are not the same things in the language of your day as it once was. Your Father, your Creator, is not to be feared. You are to be in wonder and awe at My ways. You may not understand My ways, so you name them mysteries, but they do not need to remain as so. You are to know Me and as you know Me you will understand more and more of My ways. Ask and it is given. Ask Me for the answers. Understand that you do not know, but can know. But you will only know what you give your attention to. So give your attention to Me and ye shall know Me.

You may not feel I am real for you have not felt My Presence. I do not judge or condemn you for this. Perhaps you don’t care to know about Me and choose to give Me no thought. The choice is yours. You may carry on as you wish with the power of your free will. When and if you are ready in this life, just ask. Ask Me to show Myself in your life.

Don’t ask if you truly don’t want to have what I have to give or you will receive nothing in return. But if you are curious as to what this More of life is that makes people talk about God, then please do inquire, inquire within. Ask for My Love in your heart. Ask for Me to fill you with your hearts true desire. Ask Me to raise you up to an elevation which is higher.

Wonder about Me; wonder as a child wonders at the sky. Ask Me how I do it and how My Love is so strong to make hearts see good and not wrong. The more you think of Me and wonder at My ways, the more the Truth of Me you shall know, as I shall show you in your life how to live without strife. Oh yes, there is power in wonder, the wonder of it all. It is all wonderful.

All is Well

This is where I live. I live from my heart, from the truth of my soul. I need not spend hours in mediation to reach a brief glimpse of heavenly delight. This delight is mine to have and to hold and from which to enfold. I have painted pictures of what it felt like to live in such a place. I expressed the intensity of my joy with color. Breathing life into images held in heart and mind. Some received them as intended. They connected through their heart. Experiencing my painted visions gave their heart a start, an opening to look at all life anew. Whoever knew what paint and canvas could do?

You have to stretch yourself to grow. Sometimes, as you stretch beyond a point you have been before, whether physically, mentally or spiritually you will experience resistance to the new way. Patterns have been set in your life and following the patterns already set is quite comfortable. But no gain is made by continuing to travel the same path day in and day out. You have to journey beyond with full intention to get beyond the point you are at, to persevere through the discomfort of a new space. But know this; the new space will be comfortable one day. So comfortable that again you will feel an urging to again go beyond and challenge yourself to new heights.

The gift of knowing, all are given the same gifts of Spirit. It is not a matter of anyone or another having the gift of hearing the call of Spirit over another. What it is, is a matter of acceptance, recognition and then desire to develop a clear channel. A clear channel is one free of the static of a chattering mind. Spirit speaks to all. All can hear but they must choose to listen.

Jesus Christ was a clear channel and thus voice for Spirit. But even as plainly as he spoke the word of God to the people of his day, he was aware that many did not have the ears to hear the truth of his message. So he spoke the words for those with ears to hear. He spread the seed of God’s message of truth everywhere. Even though he knew much would fall onto unfertile ground (unhearing ears) there would still be some which would fall on fresh tilled soil awaiting the word of God to plant within their souls to grow their faith anew.

If you are not growing you are dying. You are in the process of degenerating versus regenerating. You must challenge yourself daily to grow in some way to become more than you were the day before. Stagnation is certain death.

“IT’S TEN O’CLOCK AND ALL IS WELL!” You don’t hear that anymore in your society, the clear voice of the town crier ringing out across the night air messages of safety and comfort to all. Your society feeds no messages of comfort. Only fear is bred. Even with good intentions messages of fear and discord are rang out. The story now is awareness of discord and disease. Breeding more and more discord and disease with each breath given to such talk. What you think about you bring about dear ones, so why not change your tune to health and happiness awareness.

For as you declare and make more aware of living in accord with such a flow of life, much life you shall give to all whom truly desire to live well and at ease, in comfort and joy. Comfort and joy is to be known. It is to be proclaimed and specifically named. The Comforter within knows your truth and proclaims joy and comfort in your name. Take time My dears to listen to the call, the call for all to know the Truth of angels as they herald. “JOY TO THE WORLD, YOU ARE SAFE AND WARM! IT’S TEN O’CLOCK AND ALL IS WELL.”

STOP Right There!

6/28/2014

So much can be. If you dream it, you can do it. Feel free to dream big. Imagine a wonderful life. Then believe in your own dreams. Believe them true. So many live life so small, hardly a life at all compared to what could be. If they would only follow their dreams with their whole heart, but their mind gets in the way and takes charge saying, “Stop being silly and wasting precious time on pipe dreams, for you know such can never be.” And then their heart agrees and dreams fly out the window, away, far away from their vision, never to be seen again. We say enjoy your dreams. They are a preview of what can be, if you allow the possibility.

Do not fear. In this moment, We ask you not to fear. What would you be fearing anyway, something that hasn’t happened? The unknown? You say you fear the known, for you feel you know what the future holds. And the picture you hold in your mind is grim and the longer you hold it in your mind the sharper the details become. Well, if you continue on this path you will surely reap the grim outcome you are predicting, or pre-dictating, or calling into existence. So stop right there, turn that switch off and turn on a different power for your life.

Look for God, your good, the goodness of your heart. Reach into the Peace of your heart and pull goodness out and grab a hold of it. Do this with all your heart and mind. Hug the goodness. Pet and pat the goodness. Admire and love the goodness. Think of God and all God’s goodness. Think of a sweet new baby, a blushing bride, baby birds in a nest, a light spring shower. Think of how happy you are to be alive. Stay with Me now. Hold hope. Hold hope high like a banner. Fly your banner of hope into the sky. Make your hope into a kite and let it fly high. Let it come to Me. Let Peace rain and reign in your heart. Dance with this Peace. Sing the song of Peace. Hum along with Me.

What bad can happen? Whatever bad you can imagine can be. What good can happen? Whatever good you can imagine can be. Consider your thoughts your programming. What you give thought to is what plays out as your life experience. Is what you are thinking about really the life you would choose to experience if you could? Did you know you can choose, choose the life you want? It’s all a matter of proper programming. They got what they wanted or what they thought they could have and they never wanted more than they thought they could have.

Gospel music, “Faithful is our God” equals “God is always here.” The big mistake that has been is that God is far away and Heaven cannot be reached today. God lives within each heart and today each can start to find the joy that lives within to rise above negative thought, which is sin. “Sin” because this thought of fear and lack is what keeps each from knowing peace, comfort and joy. Sin is error thought. Proper thought brings forward the joy. Improper thought destroys one’s vision of Peace, which is the Truth of all.

Let me know peace, comfort, harmony, forgiveness, compassion, foresight and unity. Open my heart. Let Your Love spill out for all. Hold nothing back. Shine on and through me. Make my heart aglow. Set my heart afire. Raise me up. Raise me higher. Let me fill Your Higher Desire.

The Deep Well

6/28/2014

Allow yourself to feel good. Allow the good which is there, or here, always present, to shine forth through you. Allow good to rise up within to the without. This is your source of good, of all God’s goodness for you. From your own heart you dip into the deep well of My love. Do not dip sparingly as the more you dip the more there will be. Hold the ladle to your own lips and then offer the refreshing “Life Water” of My love to all you meet. Whomever comes across your path you are to greet with the fullness of My love. No one is ever in your way. They have come for a drink from My well and you My daughter are to offer them a drink. Let My love flow freely to all. Jesus said: Whatsoever you offer to the least, you offer unto Me. Take this cup and drink it. It is the cup of My blood, given for you so that all may have “Everlasting Life.”
