Detach from your ego response

These people do not bring me happiness.

You are right My dear they do not. And this is the very place where most get tripped up on and in life. For they expect those around them to “bring them happiness” to behave in “such and such ways” as to be perfectly pleasing to them, bringing them happiness continually, constantly. We know that those around you do most often bring you joy, but as well agree that they are not always in line with what feels good to you.

It is good that you can separate yourself from this activity and realize that it does not have to be for you to partake of in anyway. You have to detach from your ego response and calmly observe the others. More and more We know you are seeing this commotion for what it is just co-motion, back and forth banter, and egoic reactions. Yes, you are right not to participate, to hold your tongue and visit your heart.

Come to Me and be still with Me, rest in peace, in the peace of My love which you know. And as you remain in and become this peace you show My love unto the world. Please be happy, for I am so happy to have you home in My heart. Remember, you have not yet opened all the gifts I have for you. Yes, others have known and spoken this wisdom I give as well unto you. Let this knowledge comfort and inspire you.

Others should know...

No one ever told me that what I now do, “talk to God,” was ever a possibility for me or any other. Oh sure, I was told I could and should talk to God in prayer. But the idea that God could talk to me, I mean really talk to me, was never within my comprehension. Perhaps, the very reason I didn’t hear clear His call, was that I didn’t know that God had a voice which could be recognized by my heart.

Others should know. Let others know that if they want to hear My voice they can as well.  For I Speak to all continually. Not many listen. Few recognize the words as Mine, as My heart beating for them.

One is not “holier” than another because God loves one more than another. God loves all the same. It is just that some have accepted and welcomed more of God’s love in to their heart raising their own heart, soul, in holiness.

Love Yourself

When you can love yourself unconditionally you can as well love others unconditionally. You can do unto others as you do unto yourself. Love yourself first. Take care of yourself. Treat yourself well. You are in charge of yourself, no one else is. Remember this, you choose who you are by the thoughts you choose to think, what you choose to believe. Do not think less of yourself for you are no less than My love manifested unto the world.

I wish I wasn’t this way Lord, but I feel sad and desperate. I feel like the world is enveloping me and swallowing me whole. Why? Because, I wonder if the world wants what I have to offer. I wonder if these words I have written will be heard. Yes, I am drowning in doubt Lord. Lift me up. Hold my head above the raging waters. Take me out of this mind which torments me. Bring me back to Your heart, the center of every atom of the world where there is Love. Tell me, O Lord, tell me again how You love me. Fill me with Your love. Fill every cell of my being with Your love. I need all of Your Strength if I am to do this. I have none of my own. Take me out of my mind.

Yes, the world is loud and not always so kind, but the woes that you speak of are only in your mind. Stop looking elsewhere, for the answers you need are already here with you indeed. I am here, as you know. I’m glad you so quickly “ran home” but you need never go away.

You can be with Me each night and day. Keep My Love in your thoughts. Ask Me what to do. I will always show you. Together We can, do not this doubt. One step at a time. Do not run ahead. Do not rush or push. All goodness flows and as thus this shall as well. Stay with Me. Pray with Me. It is done.

Whose eyes are you using when you look at the world, your small beady eyes or Mine? It is always your choice. I do not make you look at life My way, but I certainly invite you to. Now whose eyes do you really prefer? Do you choose to see what so many others see? They see Me not.

I know what you were looking for. You were looking outside of yourself, away from Me, to see who else knows what you know, to see who else hears what you hear. What you found wasn’t comforting at all for you heard, or rather read, the thoughts of others who do not know and said it could not be done. That is was impossible, or wrong. And as you were approaching this all with your mind, your mind started spinning and spinning tales of drama that has never even been played out except in your busy worried mind.

Please don’t concern yourself with this. Matters like this are not your concern. No, not everyone will like you or what you do. But that is not why you agreed to serve Me is it? You are My aide not the master. So let Me be the Master I am and allow Me to handle the details. I can do this as you allow, if you allow this Good to be done through you. I am the Master and you are My scribe. You are My agent in the world. I have a lot of pull in this matter, a lot of influence. Trust that I will pull all the right strings to make this book of Ours a wonderful reality.

The Truth of God

God is not about rules. God doesn’t desire a “pleasing behavior” from us. God is Love. God wants us to know and be filled with His love. With the infilling of His Divine Love, His ways will be
realized, “His will” will be done on Earth as it is
in Heaven. This is the truth of God.

The Power is in the Wonder

You think you need all the answers. You want a reasonable answer for everything. The power is in the wonder. Where is your patience? Do you think you have lost it? It’s here, deep inside your heart. Sit still, breath deep. Be with Me. Find My peace in your heart. Ahh…

To find Me, go away from the world. You need not move physically, just mentally. Mentally remove yourself from where you are. Go into the quiet closet of your heart where I am waiting, residing within your being as Pure Spirit to lift you up and hold you high. Float easily, comfortably above any physical limitations. The water is calm. The breeze is gentle. All is well. Stretch out and get comfortable, comfortable with whom you are in Me, Me in you. Together We are One.
