Begin Anew
Nearly a week since we
Began
Anew
.
Wondering,
Souljourner,
how all of this feels to you?
*
Are you beginning to notice less noise?
Are you taking time to Practice the Presence?
Are you seeking clarity regarding your
Spiritual
?
Are you beginning to recognize
that
ALL
that
you
need
IS
{always has been}
right
where
YOU
are
?
Are you beginning
to
realize
that there is
NO-thing
separating you from
God
but
false belief
?
And,
if you are here to be
a
unique expression of God
&
{you are here to do this}
then
do
you
see
how
worthy
you
are
?
Do you see
how
splendid
you
are
?
And
this splendor is not yours alone,
souljourner,
for
each
&
every
ONE
of us are made of the same stuff.
God.
Purely.
Simply.
God.
So how can I not be worthy of God?
How can I not be good enough for God,
when that which I am,
is
God
.
No, I am not God,
but I am the only way in which God can, does,
express on this earth.
Phewww.
What freedom in this!
Let’s take time to recognize this through prayer.
*
In this sacred moment of time.
This precious moment called now
my desire is to recognize that God and I are One.
God is in around and through me
God is in, around and through everything and everyone!
God is the Divine Essence of all.
There is NO-thing that can separate me from this.
God and I are One
&
In this Oneness
I hear God speak.
In this Oneness
I hear God direct.
In this Oneness
I hear God say,
let go,
beloved.
Allow me to BE.
Allow me to BE
the Divine expression that comes forth through thee.
I allow God’s voice to be heard.
I allow God’s expression to come forth.
I am open to receive.
I am open to accept my divine inheritance.
I am One with the One.
{Be still & know, my friend. Right where you are God is. Relax. Receive.}
I give thanks,
for this infinite gift of Oneness that is my Truth of Being.
I give thanks,
for my increasing awareness of this.
I give thanks for the recognition that the only way that I can glorify God
is as I boldly accept my truth.
I let go of my thoughts
the thoughts which limit me
&
allow God thoughts to be heard.
To be expressed through me.
It is with joy that I accept this Oneness with God.
It is with joy that I expand this awareness of God within me right now.
I let go and let God
I
Begin
Anew
and so it is.
Are you Practicing this Presence throughout your day?
Tuning into the divine circuit that provides all?
You must if your personal resolve is to experience oneness with God.
It is only through the Practice of the Presence of God that
true peace is known.
*
In this spirit of Oneness I encourage you to read the Epistle of James;
the passage I have chosen for us to reflect upon is in the 4th chapter, the 8th verse:
“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you”
*
As you take time to “draw nigh to God”, to meditate upon this passage,
I invite you to open your hearts to the awareness of God’s Presence.
Do you have to “call” that Presence to you?
Is it somewhere out there or is it nigh always?
Reflect upon the true meaning of this.
*
In this complete peace that is yours right now
journal about your feelings: the thoughts, the songs, the verses,
the words that came forth
as you chose to be in this glorious state of oneness with God.
*
{Remember, this is the state of Grace: infinitely available to you!}
*
How is this time that you are taking for God showing up in your life?
What changes are you noticing?
Reflect upon the question asked in the beginning:
is there less noise?
How can you abide in this sweet essence all the day long?
Is this sweet essence God?
And if this essence is God desiring to express through you,
are beginning to see just how precious you are?
Are you beginning to see the delight God feels as you allow this Oneness with Him to BE?
*
Here are my thoughts regarding the verse in James.
Do you know what happens to me when I do not take the time to begin my day becoming “nigh to God?”
When I do not choose to literally “feel” the connection,
the Omnipresence, the Omnipotence, the Omniscience
of God?
My day goes amiss.
Period.
Why?
Because I am relying upon “my” understanding,
upon “my” limited wisdom,
upon “my” phobia’s and fears.
But, as it says in the Epistle of James,
my interpretation
as I draw nigh to God {4:8} I am allowing the wisdom {1:5} of the Omniscient One
to guide, guard, govern my day!
When I connect with the One
when I allow this One
to provide all of my needs,
Grace
is
my sufficiency,
I
am
at
peace.
Of course, throughout the day, I have the choice to “be aware”
to be conscious of this Presence
this “nighness” of God
and it is in this continuous awareness that the harmonious day unfolds
but it is essential to
BEGIN
the
day
aright.
To
BEGIN
the
day
with
God.
To
BEGIN
Anew.
Once you feel this connection to God, you cannot go without it!
It is like having your very best friend, attached at the hip, all of the time.
Cheering you on!
It is glorious!
It is magnificent!
It is God!
Please, my friend. Practice the Presence.
Become nigh to God.
Live in Grace.
Accept the Magnificent
Expression
You
Are
!
*
Thank you, O’ lover of our souls,
for this increasing awareness that you are indeed our best friend,
that your desire is for us to recognize
that we truly are attached at the hip,
we are
{One with the One}
and all that we need do is become aware,
tune into,
Your Grace.
Our Sufficiency.
It Guides. It Governs. It Guards
us
this day
&
so it is
!
