A Prayer of Love

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

Jesus

Just as the Earth rotates around the Sun

Our heart and soul must rotate around Jesus and his unconditional love

Every time our eyes drift to anything else

No matter how good it may seems

We lose all peace and joy

We must remain in his vine

And we shall bear much fruit

Light Transforms the Darkness

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.

Born in the Image of Love

Why is God merciful to us?
Because we are his children.
Born in the image of love.


No matter how lost we are in the darkness of greed, fear, or hatred.
Our essence is his essence.
Our essence is love.

We all have the capacity to walk as Christ did. It’s our true nature that is buried under years of fear.
This is what God sees within us and when his spirit touches us deeply we see the divinity in others and become more peaceful and merciful. ❤️🙏🏻

The Way, The Truth, and The Life

When you practice the way

Cosmic truths will be revealed

And you will be liberated from all greed, hatred and fear

But what is the way?

Mercy for our enemies

Both inside and out

Radical non-violence

Turning our cheek to all violence

A complete surrender to unconditional love is required moment by moment

Our heart must be as light as a feather to walk the way

A complete faith in the power of love to guide us

Total Surrender

A total surrender is required on the spiritual path

Surrender of our fears, worries, and doubts

A total surrender of our will to the power of unconditional love within our heart and soul

We must surrender our addictions, destructive habits and wrong views

Let the power of love transform you from within

Let it heal you and shape you in its image

Humble yourself and you will be free

Surrender everything and you will be liberated from fear, hatred, greed and addiction

The Divinity Within

At our core

We are holy

We are divine

We are one with God

One with love

At our core

We are Buddha’s

Born in the image of God

Even the harshest, violent and mean spirited people have love at their core

This is why we love our enemies and pray for them

This is why we turn the other cheek to violence and hatred

This is why we show grace, compassion and unconditional love to those lost in hatred and fear.

Your brother,

Johnny

Light into the Darkness

Shine your light into the darkness

Shine love into the darkness of fear

Shine compassion into apathy

Shine forgiveness into vengeance

Shine mercy into ruthlessness

Shine humility into the darkness of pride

This is the way of true transformation

The light of unconditional love will always transform the darkness of fear, hatred, and greed

Beatitudes

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God

Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

All of these quotes from Jesus speak of one thing, an open heart to unconditional love of all beings, even your enemies

With love,

Johnny

Everything is Holy

When you realize that everything is holy

That everyone deep down is divine

You will not steal

You will not lie

You will not cause harm to others

When you realize through meditation that all is born in the image of God, divinity, and love

You will be truly blessed

Many parts of us forget this noble truth and stray us away towards greed, hatred, and fear

Causing much necessary suffering and pain in the world
