Hear the Truth

The time of Jesus that is lost, or not recorded in the Bible, was His time of growth, His time of Self /God realization. To the world He seemed not one to take much notice of, for He was not a physical manifester. He was not intent on being caught up in the world. His focus, His desire was finding and manifesting Me perfectly. Thus so, He was lost to the world.

is shown.

I Love Them All So

2/9/2014

Do you remember, remember how much you are loved? There are no words for this. It is only a knowing, a feeling deep inside you shall have when you know My love. When you know My love you will share My love. It is the way of My love and there can be no other. I am giving you words to express this love so you can share the way to peace within one’s heart. Tell them of My love and its saving grace. Tell them how I love them all so and wish for them to come Home and live from their heart.

I so wish to fill each past the brim with My saving love, but cannot without permission. Yes, each heart is guarded. The ego stands at the door protecting the way it knows. The ego does not want to be questioned. It is affronted with the idea that what it sees may not be true. But I ask all to ask of Me anything. Do not be afraid to ask. There is so much truth in life which from your perspective you cannot see. Ask Me. Trust Me. Let Me in. Crack the door. Let some of My luscious light in.

As you begin to see with this new light you will question more and I will tell you more of My ways. I always Love you. Do not be afraid to come to Me. If you say you have not felt My love, it is because you have not allowed My love. Your heart has been hardened by life. Come to Me and let My love soften it. I’ll be gentle and take your hand and lead you to a better life.

You say you have asked questions but have not heard. I ask you when did you ever take time to listen? You are so distracted you cannot even hear a little bird. So how can you hear the voice of God within your heart? You ask and then run ahead with whatever you think you need to do. It’s as if you really don’t care, trust or believe I am here for you. And many perhaps don’t fully believe there is any more to life than one can see with their two eyes and hold within their hand. Oh, ye of little faith, I ask you to try again.

If you do not want to believe in more then continue to shut the door. But if you do feel a tug within your heart, call My name and We will start. Go within to the quiet place where I reside. Yes, I live within you deep inside. There My Love for you awaits, waiting, just waiting for you to awake. Awaken to the fact that I, God, am Love and that I live within you, not someplace high above. Ask Me to help hold the door ajar. Ask Me to help you know I am not afar.

Ask Me for the knowing of My love. Ask Me to send angels on the wings of a dove. Ask Me for gifts of grace. Ask for My will yours to replace. Ask most of all for My Divine Love, as this is the gift I have for you when you really want to live through Me and live life anew. My Divine Love will fill you, but only as you ask. And as you ask you will know, you will know what peace truly is. For this love is of such substance that your fears will flee and all you will know is the grace of My love and will want to stay close to Me.

Please don’t tarry. Time has been long enough. I am ready to gather all of My sheep back to My fold. Yes, I gave you a free will to live as you choose, but deep in My heart it has been My desire that each of you would desire higher, desire to know more, desire to know Me, desire My will over your will. You cannot have it two ways. It is your way, by your own will or it is by Mine. My will lives on earth only through you, as you choose to do. Yet you cannot choose to do My will. It is not in the power of your mind to do this. A change of heart has to happen. I will change your heart when you ask. When you ask for My love to flow free, when you burst open the door and allow Me to fully be. Then My love will fill your heart and soul. This is the story of all saints, new and old.

Your ego may be saying “no way, that’s not real” or “that’s no fun,” but believe me this is as real as it gets and this is when the real fun begins. Let Me show you life from My side, from the side where the sun always shines within your heart. Let Me into your life. I’m here waiting patiently in love; it’s up to you to start. Some believe they are not worthy of God’s love. But God does not hold back the gift of His love from any of His children and all are children of God by birth. It is only the mind of man which has created separation, a separation from knowing God and God as Love.

God is Love and you can feel God’s love. But there are many that do not know of God’s love. It has never been a secret of God but kept a secret by man to enslave other men and keep them small. It is the Truth of God’s love, the gift of His love that God offers, the love of God, Divine Love. The love of God which I speak of now is not the love man has for God, not the man to God love. I speak of the highest form of love, “the love of God” which is Divine Love. This is the very substance of God, the love God is.

On special request God gifts His Divine Love into hearts. This is the saving grace, the Comforter of which Jesus spoke, delivered unto a human heart by the power of the Holy Spirit. A worthy heart is a yearning, hungry heart, one who truly desires to know God fully, but one must ask to receive. Ask and ask, again and again. I will change your life with My love says God, ask and you shall receive.

Sometimes the walls have to crumble, so we can see.

May 2011 - Revelation: Acts of God.

In light of the recent most devastating tornado, which destroyed the Missouri town of Joplin, many may ask why God allows such disasters to occur and bring harm to His people. Others may see this occurrence as a specific “act of God” as if it was a punishment or warning. These people believe God is a judgmental being, whom doses out harsh penalties as needed to an evil world.

My understanding is different and certainly more comforting to me personally. I am now understanding God differently than the ideas engrained into me throughout my life. I have opened myself to a constant flow of God’s Goodness and Love. As this Love flows into my soul and warms the very core of my being so flows a new level of wisdom. This wisdom tells me that God or what I and others call God is only Good, all Good; all Love here and at hand. It is up to each of us to choose whether or not we allow God’s Love to flow to and through us. Our free will is what makes us feel separate as well as deeply connected. It’s what we do with this free will that matters. We can choose our own selfish ways or God’s Good ways of Love.

Our ego’s try and keep us tied to the physical world and tell us that we need to look out for number one and our ego’s number one is always self, our small self. So small that the only way it can begin to feel big is to collect stuff and then work hard to protect it’s stuff. Our larger and unlimited Self is God or maybe easier to understand as our God Connection, our Universal Connection to the One All Good.

No one can really have both. The Bible tells us we can only worship one, one God, one good. When we choose our small self and say me, me, me, more, more, more and live in fear and worry, we are not putting our attention toward the good of God. Okay, so I believe in the Ultimate Creative Force, the Eternal Spirit which created each of us and as well created the universe and thus this universe runs perfectly according to the laws of nature established in the beginning. These laws are unchangeable but we and our world, our bodies and our earth are. Magnificently powerful forces of nature have been changing the face of our planet continually since the beginning.

So the great storm was a natural occurrence. It just was. Man cannot change the weather. Man can be aware and take measures to protect himself from rain, wind, snow and sun but that is all. It is life. Life is change. Change is what happens. This tornado was a great change. A most powerful and upsetting change. It changed lives forever. It changed the face of the earth. It took away what one survivor described as “everything she knew as real.” It took away and tossed around the material. What was left was spirit. When people crawled out from the rubble and they saw the shamble made of their physical reality, their spirits awoke and gave thanks for their lives. Their good came out and more good came forth. Good is God.

So yes, I do believe an “Act of God” has changed Joplin. But I’m not referring to the great storm. I am instead referring to the so very many acts of God, acts of selfless good being performed as I write. This is why we are here, to help each other, to lend a hand and an ear, to be good to each other and to be God for each other and to see God in each other.

Many ask why does it take a tragedy to bring out people’s good? My reply: the lives we build, the walls we build of separation sometimes have to crumble before us so we can see the light, the light in each other’s eyes and in our own.

God bless, good blesses. You gotta feel good about it, whatever it is. The only way to bring good your way is to attract it with good. So you have to feel good, to feel good. You have to think good. Thinking good is a choice. A choice each always has. We each have free will to choose our thoughts and as our thoughts create our life we each have free will to choose and create the life we want.

Feel the Love, the Love I have for you. It is yours already. Don’t block the flow. Go with the flow. Pass it on. No one can hoard Love. Take time out to spend time in. Within yourself lies the wisdom for your life as you need it, it is there. Quiet yourself.

How can this be?

Why can it not be? Why would you not want it to be?
Does it not comfort you to know that you are not in this life alone?
We are here for you. We are your most loving spiritual family.
We come from a higher perspective on life, which we love to share
with you and we will as you allow, as you will us to be a part of your life.
We are God's Love for you. To know God is to know God's Love.

Question Everything

Detail of Debra Clemente painting "Magical Forest"
Without questions there can be no answers. Question everything. There is no such thing as too many questions. It is wrong to tell a child that they ask too many questions. Instead tell them you don’t know all the answers. Let them continue to ask and allow them to find the answers to life themselves. Allow the child to be curious. Curiosity may have killed the cat but lack of curiosity kills the ability to know and grow as a human and as a free spirit. Be a free spirit. Become a free spirit. Ask the questions you yearn to know. Then listen in with awe and wonder. The answers are there for those whom are aware.
