Welcome to Friday Food! A little bit of food for your soul…every Friday. For the next few months, we are looking at “Downloads from Heaven”. In these “downloads” we are contemplating what it would be like if we got a message from God (however you understand God). We will be exploring messages from God about pain and suffering and healing and blessing and love and peace other topics too! When you read these “downloads” you will notice that they are in quotes. This is to help you think from your heart NOT your head. Don’t get caught up in whether or not God, (however you understand God) actually said these things. Just let them speak to your heart. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Here is today’s download:
I Am Here Now
“ I am here now. It will take your entire life to know what that means. But each day we journey together, you will begin to know more and more about what that means. Each day brings the opportunity for you to surrender to my love for you and to become the person you have always wanted to be. This is a person filled with my grace and love. A Spirit so full that it spills out into the world. Therefore, this brings peace and wholeness to the whole world. I am here right now, always very near to you. I am always with you, in your heart, in the heart of your neighbor and in the heart of the one who is different from you. Release those things that say differently. Let me heal the wounds of your heart and soul so that you are clear about my presence in your life and so that love and joy may flow freely. I love you”
There is a religious tradition that eagerly waits for God (however you understand God) to return to the earth, redeem everything, and make it all right and just. Usually, this tradition has very specific ideas and ways about how this will happen. And this tradition can even give you scriptural references for such a return. However, God (however you understand God) is here now and has given us skills and tools to participate in the redemption of our lives, the lives of others and the cosmos. So, it does us no good to watch and wait if we are not in the process of doing what God (however you understand God) is calling us to do now in this present moment to redeem our own lives, the lives of others and the whole cosmos.”
What are you doing to participate in this redemption of yourself, the world and the cosmos today? I would love to read your comments below.
this is perfect and perfectly beautiful knowing and writing. thank you for this, Michael.
