I Am

Please speak to me. Tell me who You are? Are You me? Am I You? Are you God or Jesus or my Higher Self? Are we all the same? Do I need to or should I call this Love, this knowing, by a name?

I shall remain nameless, yet you know who I am. I am All. All Love for you, for eternity. What are words really? They are limiting ideas. I am not limited nor are you, know this.

Come let Me comfort you. Come to Me with your everything, your pain and your pleasure. I want to share your life and be your life. I am Life Eternal. Come to Me as you are. I am here listening to and loving you. You are not broken. You have just been broken open.

You had to be broken open to be available to Me. You were so closed, so rigid, so tight, so selfish. Yes, you were very selfish. You thought you could do it all, all along, all alone. You were selfish because you didn’t share your life with Me. You couldn’t see My Love for you. You heard the Words but did not get the message. You had to be broken open so you could open up to Me. It had to be this way.

We have always been together as One. When you smiled, you felt Me. When you held and nursed your children, you felt My love. When you painted, I inspired you, I took away your pain. But you could not see how to live eternally with and through Me. The sense of separation you felt made you sad and caused your pain. It was a downward cycle that had to be broken, for I love you so much and want so much better for you.

I have given you insights into the lighter side of life for sometime. You could paint it, because of Me. Yes, you knew there was more to these stories you painted. You beheld the glory they told. You will paint again with Me. Now, the more clearly you see, the even more marvelous “Our works” will be.

It is You My Child

Mystic, self-knowledge, wisdom untold, look what I am giving you. Look what I gave you. These words of Truth written of old, so many years, centuries upon centuries before you walked the Earth. These same Truths written just as your own hand has, confirmation of this “Great Truth,” confirmation of My Love Eternal. Wake up, rise up and rejoice. For you know My Love and can share it.  

Heir transparent you are to My Kingdom, yet you see it not. Celebrate your fortune, sing glad tidings, jump with joy, for you are one of the few whom have stepped through the veil of matter and yet you still cling to the old. Is this way not so much better? Can you not still see the Glory in My Plans? Hold tight My dear. Put away your tears. I have great plans for you. You and I have so much to do.


After another obvious sign too clear to be chance I hear, “So, do you still not believe?”

Yes, I do believe, I have faith. Total faith in Your Ways! My mind is moving out of the way. It doesn’t matter so much anymore. As my soul rises I think higher thoughts, all good comes to me. I just have to stay out of the way. Thank you Lord, for Your Continual Blessings. I praise You for Your Glory.

Those whom believe in despair, despair they shall find, professed Holy men or not. The glad heart honors God. The Earth’s bounty is for all to claim and enjoy the fruits of. The objective of life on Earth is to recognize and enjoy the fruits of My Kingdom while as well enjoying the fruits and pleasures of the physical world I have created for you. Hiding and holing away to bar yourself from temptation is not living as I intended. You are to love yourself and others. How can you love your brother if you cannot look him in the eye?

I have seen your pain. I have seen your struggle. Try as you may to obey even the most devout of you have not found a way to live in the world and yet not be of it. I have seen this. I know this. That is why I made the new plan, gave you a new promise. I promised to comfort you and bring you wisdom, give you My Strength to hold fast to My Ways, to take away your sin by taking away your temptation, all while fully living with your two feet planted in your world. You have not understood what has been said, you have misinterpreted My Promise. Yes, Christ was to return but not again in the form he once did.

It is you My child whom are to become Christ as well. With My Gift this is possible, for the way is the same. Jesus, as Christ showed you. He told you that you could be as He and far greater works you could do. What I gave to Him I offer as well to you My love, My Divine Love implanted into your hearts. You do not need to change who you are to become worthy of My Love. My child I love you so much, you are already worthy. All I ask is that you ask continually for My Love, for My Will to become yours. You have to want Me more than life itself; more than the life you know. You have to want to know Me. Show Me this earnestness in your heart and I will give you My Love and change your heart.

True Faith

5/29/2013

Offer yourself up to My Greater Good.

These are messages, messages to me. I am hearing it now, differently. These words have power for me now at this hour. The old me was afraid to question, especially the ways of God. I now know that our questions are good, each one of them. Yes, it pleases God that we care to know more, that we dare to learn the truth for ourselves.

Ask, ask whatever you don’t know and want to know. Then consider the source of your answers. Are you listening to the wisdom of man? The laws and rules created by man are from man’s limited consciousness. Are you accepting what another, any other, knows as the best you can know? Know better, ask the source of all, ask God the answers to all of your questions. God knows your heart and God wants each of us to know His Infinite Love and Wisdom.

Again God says: Ask. Just ask believing and I will answer. Yes, you will receive as you believe.

I am being continually filled with Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Yes, there is more to life!

Walk by faith, not by sight.


Living in blind faith I still lived with many fears. It was like I was blindfolded and left to maneuver through the world on my own. I bumped into quite a lot and fell down more than once. I felt comfort in routine, as I learned safe paths to follow. My world remained small as I was filled with fear of the unknown. I feared the bumps and potholes that I could not see but imagined laying strewn out before me like land mines. This paralyzing fear kept me bound to a vicious cycle of repetition. Round and round I went never really gaining much true ground farther down the path of life. Blind faith is no faith at all, certainly not faith in good for all.

The faith with which I now walk through life is true faith, faith in Truth and Goodness. My eyes are no longer blinded but wide open to the Glory and Majesty of this world. I see the Good all around me. I trust this Good and trust that there is more.

No, I still cannot see all that lays ahead on the paths my life may take but I walk with a certain surety that all I need to know will be given to me as I need. These are not simple statements of faith; they are strong statements of my simple faith in God. God has and is showing His Glorious ways to me. God is speaking continually to me and guiding my every step. I asked him to. I moved aside and asked God to take the lead. I asked God to lead me, to be My Shepherd.

So though my own eyes have such limited vision, to the extent that in comparison to God’s Wondrous Vision I appear blindfolded, I walk by faith, not by sight. Faith that my dearest friend, is holding my hand and guiding my every step. He will lead me into no harm. Yes, as long as I allow God to take the lead in my life, all is well.

The danger for me, and for all, is not to begin to feel so “self assured” that I believe I can run ahead without God. If I become impatient with God’s Speed and ways and forget to give all glory to God, I will surely trip and fall. Oh yes, fall on my face. But I will always have the opportunity to turn back, for God is always there waiting patiently, not even shaking His Head. He knows I have to learn to appreciate His Wisdom and ways to walk in true faith. He knows that this “true faith” is what we each require to be with Him continually and live higher. God already has faith in us. He is just waiting for each of us to have faith in Him. The Power that be is the Force within me. All glory to God.
