God’s perfection and purity reveals that man created in His image is also perfect. This is God’s Truth, for the Soul of spiritual man is created by God, belongs to God, and is therefore a pure part of the eternal God. My pure soul is a creation of our perfect God, as is yours.

Our Bible teaches that my identity is a reflection of God’s Spirit reflecting purity. My Soul, belonging to God, cannot reflect inferiority; if my mortal side does, I am sinning by allowing society to govern my soul. Jesus’s transformation allows me to renew my soul’s connection the that of God, the supreme Soul.

The limited short-sighted materiality of mankind and society try to convince me that theirs is reality; nothing outside of God’s Reality is pure and eternal. Mortal society pulls us to the finite and the temporary. God’s Truth, The Word, enfolds our spirits and souls into the eternal grace of Love, Life, and Spirit. . . God’s world.

Be gentle to others;

share yourself and Love!

The treasures are yours.

Listen to the hearts of others;

soothe sorrow and pray.

Glorify His power!

Abide with others

in Truth and Life,

but mostly Love!

My life runs amok each time I fail to pause allowing the presence of God in my very being. When I fail to open the room of my heart to God, I cannot function in my ministry. Regardless of the difficulty, I do not fear for God encloses me in His beloved care. God is all-in-all and His ever-present Life of Love eases the path I walk. God truly wipes away the fear and indecision in my Life. His Live of Life encompasses and boosts my very being.

I struggle to deny the forces that try to prevent me from attaining the totality of my meditative spirituality. My mortal brain tends to slip into outdated, forsaken thoughts. But when I reach the level of blessedness to grasp pure spirituality, my struggles slip into insignificance. Thus, I am spiritually governed by divine Truth. Artificial charisma and material despotism no longer control my waking hours.

My prayers and meditations cry to Wisdom; Her voice expands my understanding of Truth and Life, allowing me to supplant my own physical suffering with prayers for those in need of God’s Love and attention.

Make room for prayer in your life; enjoy the benefits of Jesus, the Christ within.

God is Love; God is Life; God is eternal; therefore, Love and Life are eternal. In God’s realm, all are eternal. As with all of us, I am God’s creation in Life and Love. I, therefore, am both perfect and eternal. We are, I am if anything a perfect reflection of God, and as with a reflection, things are reversed which can distort our understanding of the relationship between God and Man.

We are the living temples of the living God. Although we are merely reflections, our core is our Soul and that belongs to God. For this reason, I and my spirit, not my flesh, represents myself when praying and meditating with God at my side. This is spiritual love; this is God’s Love at work within. We lack nothing in life for God speaks and works with us and through us all our lives.

“I am the Lord, your God” shouts Leviticus (26:1).

All we need do is open our hearts and listen with our souls and find God. I follow my heart, finding the treasure of eternal life and the everlasting lovingkindness that only God grants. He fills me with goodness and longing to share His good news with all. Like all, I am ignited by His divine flame which nurtures honesty and Truth within myself. Where God dwells!

My meditations on the teachings of Jesus lead me from the darkness of my life to understand the glory of God, who created me as an amazing and complex entity, an entity that is eternally spiritual. Jesus, the Divine way-shower leads me into Truth and Life, giving me more knowledge than I can possibly understand. But it is there for me to learn; it is there for me to purify myself in God’s Love and Life, as Jesus did.

Through God’s miracle of Life I breathe freely each day; this breath is God within and without, communicating with me. I need not look any further, for God is in me, God surrounds me.

God’s Love opens the glorious possibilities of mankind, removing any limitations seemingly so relevant by mortality; God enlightens my darkness. I ask you to celebrate this with me. Join me in this journey. Please, join me. It is a journey; no, it is a beloved journey to finding joy.

God is at work in and around us, healing, loving, and comforting, giving us light, not darkness, eliminating hatred with Love, overcoming evil with good. needing courage to bring the joy of Love to our life.

The Holy Spirit is filled with gracious and loving aid to the poor bringing the brotherhood of the living God to our midst. God rejoices when we turn to face those in need rather than refuse to look at it. Our tender love and compassion brings the joy that only God can give to all involved.

Matthew writes that it is wrong for us to amass great wealth at the expense of the poor. We are to act in love and compassion in anticipation of the good, God in our lives. My mission in life is to keep bringing goodness, healing, and love to all whom I meet. The Kingdom of Heaven rules within, only we can allow This Kingdom to rule without.

God calls me in my meditations and prayers; He reminds me that my mission is to spread love, compassion, and righteous comfort to all whom I meet, all of His beloved children. I can never separate myself from God for I am an ambassador of prayer, as you are, as we all are. We are all blessed to be of God’s flock. When I pray with a brother or sister, we are both manifested in God’s Glory.

Through prayer, I unloosen the psychological sandals of those in need, and we are both found worthy for doing God’s will. All God’s power is given to those who pray for the healing of mankind. We remember Jesus’s words in Luke: “And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick (9;2).” We may not be able to heal the sick by touch, but we can very much ask God to heal spiritually. That my brothers and sisters is my mission in life.

My old body, broken and painful as it is, is the world as we know it, struggling to survive with an uncertain future. There are three promises I make to those with whom I pray. But I also make them to God. As we suffer and pray together, our loving and tender Father-Mother God nurtures us.

St. Paul offers three ways we can heal ourselves; we must show concern and love each other with no walls to separate us. God asks us to respect and love those members of society on the bottom rungs. Jesus demonstrated this every day of His life on Earth. Finally, we must accept that we are all one body in God’s Creation. And when one of us is ailing we are all weakened by our illness.

These practices are God’s gifts to us; they are easy to keep in mind, but difficult to put into practice. When we practice these gifts, we are blessed to be in the protective comfort of God’s loving world.

God asks so little and gives so much. Together we accept God’s eternal creation, and we are created eternal, as God is. We are Her children, perfect in every way. The tender Love of God is forever; She is the God who sees us and walks with us, every day of our lives.

Before you all jump on me for my feminine pronoun, remember, God is not human and has no human features. and reading the Bible, God created male and female, created He them in His (or Her) image and likeness.

We are ambassadors of goodness, the Divine Love of God. There is no way around it, brothers and sisters, we are God’s children and must act as such. We are the new ministers of God’s Word. I look beyond the words of our Bible to understand what message the authors were sending. If we truly believe in the scriptures as God’s Words, then it is our duty to search for what God wants when reading them.

My understanding of scripture begins and ends with love, the Divine Love that Jesus taught and lived by example for us. Because it is only through the Light of God and the Knowledge Jesus taught that we are truly able to say to our fellow man, I Love You, thereby bringing eternal peace. Jesus gave and demonstrated true Life and true Love.

When our spiritual reality is understood, we see each other as equals, not of a particular race or sex but as brothers and sisters living under the protective and loving care of an infinite god, the only true God, the creator of all. It is only when we understand that we are only truly spiritual that this is possible. Our mortal bodies have limited use; our spiritual selves are eternally bonded to God.

During my daily meditations, I search scripture and other theological works; since these are written by mere men and women, I understand that there are personalities and possible prejudices included in the interpretations. But there is always a truth underlying what is written. It is these truths that I investigate. It is these that come directly from God. Our mortality is our fictitious creation; the mind we call our own, which is given by and an eternal part of God, is the Mind that I study and crave.

It is this Mind that I believe for which we are all ambassadors, created to spread the Truth and Light that Jesus offered and invited us to share.

I believe that my life is a period of probation, a term to prove my love of human kindness. This Love given to us freely by the protective and gracious God.

I believe that only my physical body faces death. The real me, the true me, created by God and placed in my mother’s womb, is eternal. I am reflective of the living God’s Holy Creation of Man.

OKAY! Let’s get to a discussion: the   writes: “In God have I put my trust. . . (56:11).” There are times that my mortal mind shows me that the darkness I face is the true light. If that is so, then I would not face disappointment and regret when the end does not meet the expectation. Only the Light of God gives truly positive endings. My success is only evident when I walk in the light of the living. I know this because whenever I read my Bible, new or old testaments, God’s Truth and Life triumphs

Reading the story in Luke when Jesus entered Nain, he stopped to bring a man back to life who was being transported for burial. Jesus understood that death does not conquer life. The spiritual man, God’s creation, does not die. When we understand the significance of stories such as this, God delivers us from death for our seeing true Light brings us eternal Life. Isaiah reminds us, “Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee (60:1).”

God gives us the Spirit of Love not fear, so I do not fear death. As a mortal, I am in no hurry to experience it, but I know that it is God’s choice when. God does not work on my time frame. My life, my probation time on earth, is filled with Love, which gives me power unheard of; God is within me forever, allowing me to be a chaplain of Truth to all I meet.
