Surrendering

Inevitability is best accepted with serenity. There are times when you absolutely see no solution. When you've thought and thought and prayed and prayed; when you've sat still in meditation listening for an answer and still no answer comes.  There are times when it's okay to just surrender.

Open Your Heart...

 ...that to love is to be vulnerable. Love is the opening of the heart, the welcoming of your beloved. Loving is not secure, authentic loving is risky. Security lies behind the walls of a closed heart. You either invite the union by opening in love, or you secure the isolation by closing down.

Faith and Doubts

---

 

On this day of your life, we believe

God wants you to know...

that true faith flowers from and through doubt.

 

If you never questioned your beliefs, - you are just a puppet dancing to somebody's strings. If God had wanted your mindless obedience, you would've been created without mind and without free will. But you have both so you can come to God of your own accord. Just look at the lives of saints, - most of them had gone through a dark night of the soul, and that's why their faith was so strong. The path to true faith always goes through doubt. So ask those questions you've always been afraid to ask, and find the answers, and then your faith will become unshakable.

Whispers

 

Your life is speaking to you.   

 What is it saying?

Life's Lessons

Millions of people from all over the world watched as Oprah signed off on her 25 year talkshow.  Here are some of the highlights for me.

Each one of you has your own platform. Do not let the trappings here fool you. Mine is a stage in a studio, yours is wherever you are with your own reach, however small or however large that reach is. Maybe it's 20 people, maybe it's 30 people, 40 people, your family, your friends, your neighbors, your classmates, your classroom, your co-workers. Wherever you are, that is your platform, your stage, your circle of influence. That is your talk show, and that is where your power lies. In every way, in every day, you are showing people exactly who you are. You're letting your life speak for you. And when you do that, you will receive in direct proportion to how you give in whatever platform you have.  

My great wish for all of you who allowed me to honor my calling through this show is that you carry whatever you're supposed to be doing, carry that forward and don't waste any more time. Start embracing the life that is calling you and use your life to serve the world.

You are responsible for your life. ... You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself, and you're responsible for the energy that you bring to others.

Every single person you will ever meet shares that common desire. They want to know: 'Do you see me? Do you hear me? Does what I say mean anything to you?

"The only time I've ever made mistakes is when I didn't listen. So what I know is, God is love and God is life, and your life is always speaking to you. First in whispers. ... It's subtle, those whispers. And if you don't pay attention to the whispers, it gets louder and louder."

Because nothing but the hand of God has made this possible f or me.  I know I've never been alone, and you haven't either. And I know that that presence, that flow—

Some people call it grace—is working in my life at every single turn. And yours too,  if you let it in. It's closer than your breath, and it is yours for the asking.

Ask

God wants you to know... that you only need to ask.

He is waiting for your asking,

waiting to reach out to you.

It is ok to ask for help. Sometimes we get overwhelmed with the details and complexities of our lives.   Sometimes we need some help to get untangled, to gain a new perspective.  Ask for help.  Help may come in human or divine form.  It may be seen or unseen. Ask and ye shall receive.

Child of God

If you just learned of the sudden death of someone who harmed you deeply, what would it take to pray for him/her? The agonizing triumph of conscience over revenge. Interesting concept. We all have someone whom has disappointed us. Maybe even harmed us, by thought, deed, or abuse. Christ Jesus called us to forgive and to "turn the other cheek" But how difficult that is. You are a child of God. There is nothing worthy enough to make us forget that. Thank you Lord, for closure. Thank you for taking my place. A new day, a new chance to follow You.  A new day to let go of what could have been, Help me to see You today, in all I come in contact.  

You've Got To Live Life.

...  that humans learn only by trial and error, and that includes you. You've got to live life, not think about it. Step into the midst of things, try and fail and  learn and stand up again. The question is not whether you will or will not make mistakes - you will. The question is do you want to learn and grow, or do you want to shrink back and be stuck? Take that step you've been avoiding. You can succeed, or you can get feedback that it didn't work, but in either case you are sure to feel alive.

new day, new possibilities...

Remember that a new day is just around the bend.

Each new day we are given new hope, new possibilities, new opportunities,  Each new day is a miracle

Meaning

...On this day of your life, God wants you to know that when the night feels very long, remember that a new day is just around the bend.

With each new day we are given new hope, new possibilities, new opportunities.  Each new day is a miracle.
