Trust

God trusts us, forgives and knows infinite grace, his compassion is paramount and he is always with me, you and every being.

Overwhelming? I am invited to trust as he trusts, to forgive and show grace, to be compassionate even though my own self-interest screams otherwise.

Doubt? Guilt? How can i reach these heights? How can i ever compare? Why bother, whispers an insecure, distrusting, unforgiving and selfish being.

Yet, that is not who i am!

I, too, am light and love, grace and forgiveness. I know the truth of this because i know the feeling of joy and peace i have when i am compassionate. Being these qualities, i know God. I am more than just a suffering being, grinding his way through life, clothing, feeding, paying taxes unto the grave. Do i see this? Am i awake? Can i say 'yes'? 'Yes, Lord, here i am, your servant is listening'.

Trust is the key word.

Trust and listen and do as Jesus did among men.

Fear is our greatest enemy.

Find inner peace, listen for the wisdom of ages, listen for the proclamation of love, an know that trust grows, evolves and transforms the heart into something great, radiant and eternal.

Do Not Worry

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Luke 12:34)

Ravens live off the fruits of the Earth and gorgeous lilies bloom with ease and grace,
There is no talent or supernatural effort required to do as they do,
Why then must men then struggle with doubts and fears?
Why all the running, grasping and effort to amass wealth and status and power?
Just like the birds and flowers are what they are
So too, man can be simply that which he is.
In God's image, born to love, give and sing praise to his Father.
Awake! He will see past worldly shadows and know the lie of lesser treasures,
Love, our greatest treasure, our only Truth, cannot be stolen away,
It is ours to give with joy of heart and peace of mind.
