When God says "no"

God's "No" is not a rejection,

It is a redirection..

Hidden Gifts

There is no such thing as a problem without a Divine Gift hidden within it.  You have these problems because you need the gifts they carry within.

Wealth

... that letting go makes you wealthier.  Wealth is never measured by what you have, but by what you can give away.  You are rich with money when you can afford to donate.  You are rich with love when you can give love freely.  You are rich with God when you can behold your enemy with compassion.

Magical

On this day, God wants you to know.. that every little part of you is magical.

Yes, even the parts that hurt, even the ones that are feeling disease right now.  

It's alright to love what is in pain. More than alright, that's exactly where your love is needed the most. So why not touch that part that hurts and smile at it, at yourself through it, and whisper: ''I love you.''

 I always forget to love myself. If I don't love myself, how can I love anyone else or accept that love from someone else?

 

Slow Down

... that when whispers do not get your attention,

bricks will fly your way.

Don't speed through life so fast that someone

has to throw a brick at you to get your

attention.  Slow down and be present.

True Self

God wants you to know... that the way you treat others is the way you treat yourself. True respect comes from self respect.  True love for another comes from self love.  True forgiveness for another comes from self forgiveness...

Who you really are...

... that it's time you remembered who you really are.

You are not your wallet, your job, your kids, your house.

You are not your activities or your worries or the labels other people give you.  Like an actor you play these roles,

and like a good actor you sometimes forget who you really are.

It is time to wake up now, and remember that 

you are a being of immense power and breathtaking beauty

created in the image of God.

Nourishment

... that your soul wants the freedom to sing, dance, love. As your body needs nourishment - food, drink, sleep, so does your soul need nourishment - sing, dance, love. Life is not all work, work is not all hard toil. Nourish your soul with the food that is right for it, for it is the altar of your own inner temple

On this day, God wants you to know

... that your love is a gift to the world. Let your love radiate out to all you meet. Let your love touch the hearts of people you don't even know. Let your love reach to the far corners of the earth. Love is what is saving the world.

Faith

Faith is exactly what it takes to get through uncertainty.

Faith is not necessary when you know how things are going to work out, that's knowledge. It's in the time of unknowing that having faith is what sees you through to the other side.

Faith is what gives you strength.  Faith is that light in your heart that keeps on shining even when it's all darkness outside.  Now is the time to keep that faith alive!
