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:
Something New
“For centuries those in established religious positions and institutions have sought by any means possible to protect and defend the institution. They have done so even when I wanted the institution to change. This is also true of individuals who seek to keep things the same in their own life even as I am calling for something new. However, I am calling the cosmos to a new life. This is a life of forgiveness, healing, love, peace, and joy. In that alone is your hope. So, do your best to understand this process. Each individual and each institution must put aside any obstacle to love. Forgiveness and living in peace with me, yourself and neighbor is my guiding principle for living. If you do this you will change. This change will be a sign that you are listening and hearing my voice. So, don’t lose heart and don’t be afraid when others oppose you. Be strong in my love and you will change and so will the world. I love you.”
All of us have lived through some kind of transition in our lives. It may be a sudden change or something that happens gradually. At any rate, God (however you understand God) is always calling us to something new. That newness is found in love and joy and peace and forgiveness. It is not found in judging, retribution and being stingy with what God (however you understand God) has given us. This is a big lesson we are trying to learn in our world right now. What can you do for yourself, your neighbor or even the one you call enemy do to move us through this transition. And by the way. Religious institutions have and still, do nurture me during my times of transition. In fact that are great places to start when working through changes in your own life and in the world.

“I am calling the cosmos to a new life.”
What a download, Michael!!! This helps to put the transitions in my own life in a grand perspective. As well as the continuing changes and challenges in our country. What sweeping new opportunities become possible with unfettered Divine Love as the compass!
THANK YOU for delivering this message into our world.
