March 31, 2024 – Easter Sunday

          Do not sit, waiting for a miracle to come to make you happy, to take misery from you, lifting you up to a new life.  You see, My child, you are the miracle that has come to Earth.  Wherever you walk, bring joy into that place.  Lift others from misery into a new life filled with light through your loving presence.  Where there is need be My hands, eyes, feet, and heart.  You are the miracle.  Believe.

 And The Holy Spirit says:

           Be still.  Look.  The dawning, of a new light, is with you.  Be still.  Pay attention to the glory of the light with you.  Be still.  The emergence of the powerful light is rising from within you.  You are the source of the light.  It has always been within you, yet its resurrection is now, at this very moment, when you are still.  Look, and see the glory of God illuminated in your presence, all around you, with no end.  The light reaches from you, flowing from you, continuing from you, embracing all you pass, on your earthly journey, holding all that is in The Light of God, creation everlasting, enduring forever.  You are the miracle, sent by God, to be The Bringer of The Light.  Believe.

Pathway into Lent

 

 

 

Pathway into Lent

 

          Good Friday is a Christian holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus and his physical death at Calvary. It is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum.  It is also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Great and Holy Friday, and Black Friday.  Good Friday holds a special place in the hearts of Christians as a day of remembrance, reflection, and reverence for the sacrifice of Jesus. It is a time to contemplate the significance of the crucifixion and to deepen one’s faith in the love and mercy of God. As we observe Good Friday, let us remember the words of Jesus on the cross: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). May we find forgiveness, grace, and salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus on this Holy Day (Information gathered on internet).

          So, how do we really feel today?  What are our thoughts, as we move through the day?  The words, Thy will be done, echo through My thoughts like so many question marks struggling to break free from a room of confusion.  My head takes me into denial about it being God’s will that Jesus suffer in such an ignominious way.  Then, the recollection of Jesus’ prayer in The Garden, prior to His arrest, when He is asking if there is any way for things to go differently.  That certainly fits into what I think I would do.  I would ask, “How could this go differently for me?”  How many times have we asked, no begged, in prayer that someone we love avoid pain, or be saved from death, or humiliation of any kind.  How often has that been our prayer for ourselves.  I know there have been times in my life when I fell to my knees, asking that same question, offering, if it would be done, that I would do something in return, rather like payment for a special favor.  But in the face of the unimaginable happening, right before us, there is an overwhelming energy of peace, an unmistakable sense of knowing that, that which is to be, is happening, and nothing can stop it, or should stop it.  That feeling cannot be sufficiently described with words.  It just is.  Thy Will Be Done.  These powerful words take us from the place of petitioner to the place of partner, one taking part in a Divine Plan, a plan that somewhere within us, we have understanding and knowing beyond what our minds can comprehend.  At that moment we are active participants with God in the continuing of creation, as it moves into us, through us, and onward into eternity.  Somewhere, deep at the core, within us, at that moment, we understand.

             Thank you for walking this path with me, and for making the time to commit to the observance of the Lenten Season.

 

          The reading I have chosen today is from Luke 22:42

          Be still.  Be quiet.  In the stillness and in the quiet you will hear Me, and I will guide thee to where you are to go, to where you are meant to go, to where it is your desire to go.  There will be no outside influence on how this will happen.  It will happen as you take My hand and know I AM with you.  Wherever you go, we go, together, into eternity.

 And The Holy Spirit says:

           It has all been accomplished.  It is done.  It is within you.  We are one.  Do not struggle with that which is fleeting and transitory.  Rise-up and live within that which is eternal, changing, continuing, creation.

          Do not walk with your head held high, in the clouds, ignoring that around you.  You are upon Earth for a reason.  Look down and see that which is with you.  Turn around and see all that is with you.  No matter where you are, look and see.  See My glory in all things.  If you are in a city, see the glory in the dandelion, reaching up through the crack in the sidewalk.  If you are in the country, see the glory in the trees, reaching up their branches.  If you are in a confined space, and you cannot see the glory: throw open the window and let in the light; clean the mirrors so they shine, reflecting the light; place flowers to fill the room, blessing it with the abundance of nature.  No matter where you are, if you do not see glory, be the bringer of glory and sing with joy, for you are My Light.

 And The Holy Spirit says:

           Bring light to that which is around you and see The Glory.

          Do not let anger or revenge darken your thoughts, as they will weave their way into your everyday and cast shadows where there once was light.  The energy used to sustain anger or revenge can be used in a different way, a way which will bring you peace, making room for The Light to fill you.  And the result, gained in the spiritual work this requires, will be illumination of The Ways of Truth.  You see, there is not one thing which is one-sided, or holds only one story.  To know you must be willing to sit with Me and look to see.  What is revealed might surprise you, as you look through My eyes.  And the surprise will be love, unconditional love, which can be found in every situation, if you will be still, look, and see.

 And The Holy Spirit says:

           It is often not easy to see another side, allow for another perspective, when you have wrapped yourself in your version of the unfolding story.  It is important to remember that there is always another page, or chapter, to the story, playing out all around you.  You do not know the ending, yet you hold firm your position on a particular page, of a particular chapter.  The Light of God can reveal answers to mysteries which once seemed unsolvable, impossible.  What is the answer?  The answer is to be still and come to know Me.  I dwell within thee so you might know The Way.  I bring you truth, so you might know peace within it.  Be still, be quiet, and sit with Me, and behold, anger, revenge, and confusion drift away in the illumination of truth.
