When Christ is within me
I become like a child again
Joyful and curious
When Christ is within me
I have the wisdom of the cosmos within me
When Christ is within me
True peace and love flow through me
Bringing light into the darkness of the world
When Christ is within me
I become like a child again
Joyful and curious
When Christ is within me
I have the wisdom of the cosmos within me
When Christ is within me
True peace and love flow through me
Bringing light into the darkness of the world
Do not cling to this world
All worldly riches, fame, and possessions will fade away in the end
But God’s love is infinite and everlasting
Christ firmly stands within us till the end
The inner riches of being with God are what satisfy our soul
The outer riches only give us temporary pleasure but leave us hollow
Only his love can give our soul true peace and joy
If you want to be free
If you desire union with God in perfect love
Always point the arrow inwards
For God is always within us
Patiently waiting for us to listen
As Jesus said in the gospel of Matthew
“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
We must enter our inner room where the divine therapy takes place
Focus on your breathe till your mind is calm and at ease so you can hear his spirit
Contemplate God’s love and words within your heart and you will be healed, restored, and guided
Bow to your brother’s and sister’s
Bow to the homeless
Bow to the sick and mentally ill
Bow to animals and the planet
Bow to your enemies
Bow to the entire cosmos
Bow to your last breathe
And God will bow to you
And fill you with his spirit of love and peace
If we want to be close to God
We must only strive for perfect humility
As I walk with the homeless
I see the divinity within them
What the world sees as unclean and unworthy
I see through the lens of compassion, mercy, and unconditional love
They are my brothers and sisters
They are worthy of love
Jesus’s one commandment to his disciples was to love your neighbor
What is your neighbor?
Your neighbor is the poor, sick, and homeless
Your neighbor is the immigrant
Your neighbor is the LGBTQ community
Your neighbor is the pig, chicken, cow, and sheep
Your neighbor is the rainforest and it’s many wildlife
Your neighbor is the Earth
Love them with all your heart and soul
Don’t let fear, hatred or greed keep you from expanding your circle of love and compassion
“I am in my father
You are in me
And I am in you”
-Jesus
When the holy spirit touches our heart deeply through contemplation and inner silence we can become one with God’s love. You may call this Theosis or Nirvana but in direct experience it is pure mercy and love. An emptying of all notions or concepts of fear, hatred, greed, and suffering. Nothing compares to becoming one with God’s love. 🙏🏻
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.
Let them push you, but do not push;
Let them crucify you, but do not crucify.
Let them insult, but do not insult.
Let them slander, but do not slander.
Be meek, and do not be zealous in evil.
SAINT ISAAC THE SYRIAN
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
