The Father’s Love

Leave a reply

Wow . .  I started this blog in August 2013.   Now it’s November 2014.  It’s been quite a journey.  I’ve taken a break but now I’m back.  Pretty sure I’m suppose to be posting on a regular basis.  So here it is again.

Over the year I’ve learned something HUGE!  My largest revelation is The Father’s Love.  My Father, Your Father-   I’m talking about our Spiritual Father.  I’ve known he was hearing and answering my prayers.  I’ve known that he is so amazing and wonderful and anything is possible when you lean on him.  What took me awhile to get . .  I mean REALLY get . . is how much he loves me.  He really LOVES ME!  I’ve been a spiritual freelancer (yes- I just made that title up)  all of my life until this past year.  When I began to focus in on the word of God and soak up all the information I could get my hands on God’s Love-  I started receiving the idea that maybe HE Really DOES Love ME.  The depth of our Father’s Love is so very deep.  When I stop and think about how he has never given up on us, I am amazed.  Certainly only our creator can have the patience and compassion to continually give us another chance after we mess up over and over and over again.  Understanding what Jesus did for us really brought everything home for me.  The fact that Jesus- a man without sin – walked this earth for the sole purpose of sacrificing his life for our sins – is just incredible.   I studied this concept- this notion-  why did he have to do this?  I realize it was all in the covenant of God who never breaks his word.  Well, as a lawyer, I understand contracts.  To my amazement God takes them pretty seriously especially when it comes to the ones he makes with us.  I’ll get more into this whole notion later-  but what I really want to share is the fact that at first I just couldn’t get my head around why do I DESERVE unconditional Love from our Father.  I mean who am I to have my prayers answered- who am I to deserve the attention of the creator of heaven and earth.  Then I realized or maybe God just whispered to me in my thoughts-  it’s not because of what I did but it’s because of WHO HE IS.  He is the King of Kings- the MOST HIGH GOD!  Well the King of Kings have children- one of those children is ME.  Just like a daughter of a King-  she is born and by virtue of her birth she IS ROYALTY.  Well as a daughter of the King of Kings- that makes ME ROYALTY.  WOW.  What an absolute honor.  So something so simple took so long for me to actually Get- to actually Receive.  I’m Royalty!  I’m My Father’s  Daughter.  Just as most parents can testify to-  there’s nothing your child can do to really make you stop loving them.  You may get mad – but STOP LOVING?  Well, we are just humans- we are not the CREATOR-  He Loves us Just as We Are-  Right Now!  Unconditionally.  If a human parent can’t stop loving his/her child-  why would we ever think our Heavenly Father would stop loving us?   I am so delighted- excited-honored- grateful of My Father’s Love!!  It’s the only thing that really matters.  Praise God!

Planted by Streams of Living Water

I want to be like a tree . . planted by the streams of living water.   My roots will be deep and long and strong.  I thrive from the living water of life . . . joy . . .  love . . . happiness . . . . compassion . . . and patience.  We ARE like trees if we stand and rely on God as our foundation, letting his word feed us like streams of living water.   This world is not heaven.  Because of this we must stay strong and continuously receive our Father’s living water of his word.   Giving God continuous praise and in all our ways acknowledging him –  he will direct our path.  Our souls are hungry for his love.  Our God is always more than enough.

A Tree and Strength

Approaching a tree and placing my hand on its trunk is an amazing feeling.  The very second my palm rests upon the majestic trunk, I feel the strength of the tree within me.  A tree that is large and has withstood the years of time, has survived strong winds and magnificent storms, still stands so tall and strong.  I am amazed at its height, the firmness of its structure, it’s maze of thick branches.  The trunk of the tree fills my soul with inner strength, so powerful, so real.    LIKE THE STRENGTH OF A TREE . . . SO TO AM I.

Complete Abundance

Leave a reply

Abundance to me is absolute happiness, financial wealth, a sense of completeness that fills my soul.  Abundance is everlasting and is offered to us without limits or conditions.  Asking for abundance fulfills our primary purpose on earth.   All we need to have it is faith, belief and love.  Love for God, love for others and most definitely love for ourselves.

Like Water Off a Duck’s Back

Just think.  If everything that comes our way flows off of us like water off a duck’s back, the peace we would have.  Just as simple as a drop of water sliding off slick feathers so to could our problems. It’s in our perception.  It’s in our faith.  If we truly believe that we are so much more than our physical beings because we are a child of God, we could see and feel and believe that we are perfect just as we are.  The struggles of our lives bring to us new adventures, new experiences, new lessons.  Trusting in the Lord graces us with the peaceful bliss that we seek.

How Do You Pray?

Leave a reply

How to Pray? Good question –  easy answer.  There is no wrong way to pray.  You pray from your heart.  You can pray in silence.  You can pray out loud.  You can knell on your knees.  You can cross your legs while sitting on the floor.  You can just sit in a chair.  You can bow your head and clasp your hands.  You can look above and clasp your hands.  You can close your eyes or leave your eyes open.  A prayer is a message from your true self, your soul, your spirit, to the higher power that is above all of us.  You know you are deep within a prayer when you can feel it deep within yourself.  Maybe you cry . . . maybe you just feel peace . . maybe you just keep talking until there is nothing more to say.  A prayer is something that is ALWAYS good.  You are submitting yourself to something so powerful . .  something so wonderful that loves you for YOU . .  that is with you no matter who you are, what you’ve done or what you have.  Allow yourself to listen to the answers to your prayers.  Through prayer I have found peace.  I have found happiness.  I have found answers.  I have found LOVE.  I KNOW prayers are heard . . .they are powerful, magical, wonderful and  they are most definitely Answered.

Wisping Clouds in Blue Skies

wisping clouds sunset

I marvel at the wisping clouds in the blue crisp sky as they slowly move over me.  Although I stand there looking up at the sky alone, I know I am not truly alone.  The Life above me proves otherwise.  What is it that moves those clouds, makes those clouds, creates such beauty?   While I focus on the clouds above me and continue to bring in the beautiful color of the sky, the white of the clouds and feel the energy of the Universe, I realize I am but a small piece of the Universe.  The Universe so powerful and limitless.  I know that with such power all around me that I too am more than I am.  I am more than just a physical being.  I am more than a family member, an employer, an employee, a citizen, a friend.  I am part of the Universe and we are all connected with each other, with nature and with God.  Being a part of something so wonderful brings me peace to know that I am never alone and am never weak.  . . . . . .  I AM . . . . . and that is truly something Great and also something astonishing . . . just as we ALL are  . . .

The Wonders of a Willow Tree

Leave a reply

There’s something about a willow tree that just stops me in my tracks.  It is so majestic with so many long hanging branches.  It’s leaves are gentle and soft.   The willow tree sways with the wind as if to dance.  It’s mass . . . so broad and wide.  My soul stirs with comfort and peace.  It’s as if my grandmother is holding her arms open to me and saying, “come to me child and let me hold and protect you.”  Some cultures hold the willow tree as a spiritual symbol.  Others describe it as a weeping.  I just feel it’s amazing energy of protection and grace.  Another sign that we have been blessed with beauty and that we all have the inner strength of a Willow Tree . . all connected . . all stable . . and never ending.

Do You Need Help Today?

Leave a reply

I think we all need help each day.  The real question is have you asked for help?  All too often we feel we must do it ALL ourselves and we TRY and we TRY so very hard to do what we think is right only to work ourselves to exhaustion and disappointment.  Each day I ask for help and I get it.  I bow my head and ask my prayer to be heard.  I ask to be graced with compassion, love and focus.  I ask to be relieved of the burden of fear.  Sometimes I feel anxiety usually due to a negative thought that is running through my mind.  At that very moment, I take a deep breath and ask for help.  I KNOW my request is granted because I feel better-  maybe just a little bit at first.  You know you have been answered when hours pass and when the fear returns and you see it for what it is “fear”  it’s not real . . it’s just a thought . .  so this time (with the help that you asked for) that “fear” then just vanishes through your awareness that “it’s not real.”   Then more hours pass and within those hours you begin to see the wondrous universe before you, the blue skies, the breeze, a bird, a kind person  (all blessings before us).   You have now forgotten what you asked for.  . . . .   This is how i KNOW my prayers have been answered.  I can’t begin to list all the answered prayers that happen to me daily-  but as they do I hope to continue to share . . .   those amazing gifts that one receives just by asking . . . .

Rays of Light are Rays of Hope

Rays of light

Have you ever looked into the sky and seen rays of light beaming down upon the earth?  Have you ever wondered why?  I’m certain a meteorologist could explain from a scientific standpoint the causes of these rays.  To me . . . no explanation is needed.    I accept those rays as a message- a message from a Being more powerful than I.  When I see these rays, my soul fills with peace and I breathe.  I know that the Grace of the Lord is with me and that I am never alone.  God graces us with beauty in all that he touches.  These beautiful rays of light coming from the gorgeous skies above, many times through wondrous clouds, brings hope to all of us.  They are absolutely breathtaking.  . . .
