Those who seek God outside of themselves seek wrongly and the further they go the more they drift from Christ.
They cause much confusion, violence, and suffering to the world in God’s name.
Always seek the Kingdom of God within you first and God’s grace, love and wisdom will be granted to you.
Only then can you begin to see God’s love in all things
Filling your heart with true peace and joy
God’s love is shining within all things
We are just too blind to see it on a continuous basis
May we be touched by God’s love within our own heart
May our spiritual blindness be lifted so we can see God’s glory in all things
Filling our heart with true joy and peace
Why did God become man?
To restore to our true image
Which is of Gods image and likeness
He came down to love us and liberate us from the suffering of the world
To unite with us and live within us
When we follow Jesus within us with open heart our inner most being is satisfied
And our heart is of stone is transformed by God’s love into flesh
We experience perfect union with God and are transformed into Christ
In the darkness of my soul
There is a bright light
Shining its unconditional love into the darkness
My soul yearns for this light
My inner most desire to be fully united with it
In divine union
Rivers of joy, peace and love rush through my heart
“In the dark night of the soul, bright flows the river of God.”
Saint John of the Cross
“Now pay attention to this. God is nameless for no one can either speak of him or know him. Therefore a pagan master says that what we can know or say of the First Cause reflects ourselves more than it does the First Cause, for this transcends all speech and all understanding . . . He is being beyond being: he is a nothingness beyond being. Therefore St. Augustine says: ‘The finest thing that we can say of God is to be silent concerning him from the wisdom of inner riches.’ Be silent therefore, and do not chatter about God, for by chattering about him, you tell lies and commit a sin. If you wish to be perfect and without sin, then do not prattle about God. Also you should not wish to understand anything about God, for God is beyond all understanding. A master says: If I had a God that I could understand, I would not regard him as God. If you understand anything about him, then he is not in it, and by understanding something of him, you fall into ignorance, and by falling into ignorance, you become like an animal since the animal part in creatures is that which is unknowing. If you do not wish to become like an animal therefore, do not pretend that you understand anything of the ineffable God.”
Meister Eckhart
Breathing in I see myself as a mountain
Solid in any wind, thunder or rain
No storms of the world can bother me
When I am rooted in God’s love
All worldly conflicts can not take me from his peace when I’m contented to him
God’s grace and strength gives my heart and soul true peace that no storm can take away as long as I stay close to him
Don’t look to the sky for Christ
Look within your heart
For Christ is born in a disciples soul
His love shines out into the world through you
Be still and seek Christ within you
When I bow to you
I bow to God
For you are born in Gods image
Which is love
We must learn to bow to all creation
Bow to the homeless
Bow to the sick
Bow to your enemies
If we can’t bow to all beings
God will not bow to us and give us his holy spirit
We must bow until our last breathe
In perfect humility
🙏🏻
If your God is complex
It’s not the true God
But born in your image and likeness
Our intellect can never grasp God
The intellect will never understand God’s infinite grace and love for all
Only the heart can have divine union with God in pure love
Through stillness we can experience Gods love
God in direct experience is simplicity and purity
Pure love and grace
That can purify our heart from stone to flesh
Turning us into Christ moment by moment
The widow struggling is worthy in the Kingdom of God’s love
The immigrant persecuted is worthy in the Kingdom of God’s love
The prostitute is loved
The thief forgiven
The blind given sight
The homeless given shelter and food
All are worthy in the Kingdom of God
May we all rest in his love
No matter how lost you are in shame, guilt, and self hatred
You are loved and matter
🙏🏻❤️
