Unleash the Power Within!

unlimited (1)

Within you.

Within me.

Is the Power —

 that sets us free!

God is not “out there” —

 waiting to give.

God is “right there” —

encouraging us to live.

A life that exemplifies —

 all that we are.

A life that glorifies —

the Presence & Power.

How can God express —

except through you & me?

How can God display

our divinity?

Think what unleashing this Power {within} will do.

Think of the freedom you will feel, too.

You are not on this path alone.

Right where you are all that you need is known.

NO+thing can prevent your good to unfold.

NO+thing can prevent joy untold.

When you release the belief that there are two powers.

When you stand firm — choose not to cower.

Trust in the ONE Presence & Power within.

Let go of all thoughts when they begin —

 taking you down the road of insecurity.

God alone = IS. Magnificently!

Unleash the Power Within!

Watch as your life begins

taking you places heretofore unknown.

Accept this gift. You are never alone!

Lamp unto My Feet.

One Presence.
One Power.
One Substance.
One Source.
One Creator.
One Sustainer
of
All~

Here.
Right now.
I Am
One with this
Holy Presence.

It is the lamp unto my feet~
Feet in pretty shoes, of course.

Nearer than hands & feet.

I step
{Grace}fully
into this day.
With thanksgiving & purpose
{from head to painted toes}

en+joy
&

so it is.

Accepting God. Wanting No+Thing.

 

ImageIn this sacred moment of time —

it is so easy to recognize that God. Good. Is all that IS.

God

IS

in, around & through me.

Five Minute Friday, Friend!

{Let the joy begin}

Love for you to play along —

go to: http://lisajobaker.com

 where ALL belong

!

***

You. You. Yes, you, too —

are a friend of mine.

Although I have not met you

I know you are divine.

*

When I think of  you — I see God’s full intent.

You are completely loved. In His image as is meant.

*

I see your fullness.  I see His glory.

I see the wondrous story

&

 I choose to see it despite the matter —

I choose to see it despite the “worlds” chatter

for

each

&

every

one

of

us

is

made out of THE same stuff.

*

Think of what this world would be

if we loved one another as true friends indeed.

Instead of displaying  judgement & blame

 we truly saw God’s image we would be ashamed

of the manner we view our neighbor —

Was there a hint of this in Christ’s nature?

Think, dear friend, of how you choose to love.

It’s not a choice — 

It’s His Holy Presence we are speaking of.

It’s found in You. You  & especially YOU dear one!!!

You are God in expression.

So worth my love.

{Grace} the Sound.

ImageWithin you. Within me.  There is One Song. One Harmony.

Ever present. Ever near.

Awaiting

 each

One

to

hear

.

The sound of Grace resonates that which is true.

The sound of Grace reveals your pure essence, too.

{Listen}

It is there with you.

The sound of Grace

upholding you.

Give no thought for the morrow.

Turn your heart away from sorrow.

Tune, instead, into the sound of Grace.

I tell you it is all over the place.

You see there is no place where Grace is not —

look there { yes even there} it is in that spot.

Behold the goodness that God is.

Receive the gift that Grace gives.

Resplendent.

Magnificent.

That is what you are.

The sound of Grace familiar

because you are a holy star.

Shining brightly for all to see.

 Grace.

God.

Supporting

thee

In the Garden {Grace}

Image

It was Fall

when the package of seeds called

 {Grace Illustrated}

was opened;

lovingly

they were

sewn

each & every day.

Uncertain of their variety

yet certain of their perennial vein

{God}

I

awaited the arrival of Spring.

Now Spring

I begin to see

God’s unmistakable hand

bringing forth such beauty & bounty in all.

{Grace Illustrated}

coming to life

in

such

unexpected

ways

.

For this.

For each one of you.

I give thanks.

All that is needed is at hand –

 HERE

&

 now

.

The Power

The Presence

The Intelligence

that

God

IS –

is

HERE

now

.

The One & Only Substance & Source

of

ALL –

is

HERE

now

&

as

I

accept

this

Truth –

I

feel

the

ease

&

Grace

that

is

HERE

now

.

I choose to abide –

HERE

now

.

I listened.

To see Truth & Beauty.

The  question has been answered.

For today at least.

For I believe what has been spoken.

We must depend upon today’s manna alone.

For that is ALL sufficiency.

As promised.

The question swirling around & around.

If I am looking to God alone.

Underneath all of that

am I not STILL looking for

some-THING

for my self.

Some ANSWER that will benefit me?

And doesn’t seek God alone

mean seek God alone?

Then,

the swirling ceases.

The stillness comes.

As does the answer.

prayer

To see Truth & Beauty.

To outpour this into the world.

To be the vehicle that accomplishes this.

For His glory

alone

.

Awwwww.  The beauty & truth in this.

&

for this

I am grateful

.
