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
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
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
Only those who have been humbled by life
Will desire mercy
Those who don’t desire mercy will never receive it
We must abandon all pride and only strive for perfect humility
In this perfect humility we receive God’s grace
In this grace
God’s love lifts us up from humiliation into glory
Any Christian movement that does not love their neighbor
That spews hatred, fear, and greed
Will die on the vine and burn up
For God is love and love purifies our heart and soul of fear
If we remain in the vine
If we remain in his love
We will bare much fruit
Christ will live within us
Shining his light into the darkness of the world and thus glorify the light
If we remain in his love we will truly be children of God and embody Christ in our way of life
Bringing true love, peace, and truth to the world
God’s love liberates our inner parts that are enslaved to greed, hatred and fear.
Each day we must return to the infinite source of life and love within our own heart and soul.
A sanctuary of healing within us that is available each moment.
Be still and know.
If you focus on the surface of life
Everything appears as suffering
But look deep within yourself and you will see the ultimate reality beneath the surface of life
You will see that at the center of your being and all creation is God’s unconditional love
Take refuge in this sanctuary of unconditional love within your own heart and soul
It’s water so pure
Its love is everlasting and healing
Be still and seek the Kingdom of love within you
God, may all who suffer be healed through your love
God, may all beings be liberated from the shackles of greed, hatred and fear
God, may all beings rest in your sanctuary of unconditional love within their own heart
I pray that we can all be one with your love as Jesus did and still does through the holy spirit
The world seems to be upside down but do not be distressed.
True love will always overcome hatred, fear, and violence like water smoothing out sharp rocks.
True love does not shape the world by force but through persistence, compassion, grace, and patience.
The light will always transform darkness.
Love will always transform fear.
Do not let this world drag you into the darkness. Focus on the light within you and be the lighthouse shining into the darkness.
