Heaven is Now
Truly I say to you
When Christ unites with us in the depths of our soul
Heaven comes down to earth and lives in our heart
Heaven is not some distant land to enter into after death
Heaven is the presence of God’s love in our innermost being
Freeing us from all suffering
Our soul is at true peace when we enter the Kingdom of God within our heart
Truly I say to you
The gate to heaven is everywhere
God’s Only Desire
God’s only desire
Is to unite with you in pure love

His pure unconditional love purifies our heart and uplifts the soul
God will never abandon you
His Kingdom of love is already within you
Seek him in the depths of your soul and you will find the treasure you have been looking for your entire life
My Life’s Purpose
My life’s purpose is not to seek money, fame, or status
It is not to seek comfort and pleasure in external things
My purpose is to serve the homeless, sick, vulnerable, and poor through Christ’s love
My purpose to serve the lord and do his will on this earth
May I remain in your love Christ so you may remain in me
So I can bare much fruit and show that I am a true disciple of yours
May I enter through the narrow gate and walk in the Kingdom of God’s love moment by moment
God’s Divine Presence in All Creation
When we follow Christ within our own soul in pure love
We can experience complete unity with him

We begin to see and experience Gods love in all creation
This love sets our soul on fire and Christ lives within us fully
We see that all creation is holy and seek not to harm any of God’s creation
May all experience this divine union at least for a moment so they see God’s love in all things
Bring true peace and joy to their inner most being
Heart of Love
Oh lord
My heart is overflowing with your love
Your light is shining within me into the darkness of the world
Giving love to all those around me
It’s as if a river of flowing life has penetrated my inner most being
My soul is finally at peace
Your presence alone gives me great joy lord
May I be with you and remain in your love
Blessed Our the Pure of Heart
A pure heart rests his worries onto God’s loving arms and receives his grace
A pure heart loves all unconditionally and shines God’s love into the world
A pure heart sees the image and likeness of God in all beings, even his enemies
A pure heart is not attached to any earthly desires
For God must must possess our heart alone
Any fear, hatred or greed within us keep us from his love
“Blessed our the pure of heart for shall see God” ❤️🙏🏻
Christian Mysticism
God is beyond all thoughts
God is beyond all words
God is beyond all concepts
God is pure being beyond being
God can only be experienced through love
God can not be grasped by any thoughts or reason
The more we speak of God’s true nature
The more we speak lies
May we be silent to God’s true nature and rest in his love
Shining his light into the world
Seek the Kingdom of God Within
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
