One good deed is worth a thousand prayers. ZARATHUSHTRA

Each physical item in this world has an innate intelligence and responds to our thinking patterns, and our moods.

THE LIFE BASED ON LOVE IS THE

life well lived. You have the poten-tial to love every situation in your life, both good and bad. Every event, whether seemingly positive or negative is really quite possibly always positive.

Love is the substance, feeling, energy that binds us together. We are said to experience maximum life when we are connected to or at one with God, our Higher Self, or The One. All of these names refer to the maker of all things. The creator of worlds, universes, fire, ice, sand and so much more.

The creator is a positive force in your life and he wants you to enjoy and live a happy life for the rest of your short stay on earth.

The Near Death Experience is the closest I have come to realizing what lies beyond, in our next life-time. There are many nuances and several contradictions in stories of those who have “been there and back”, but for the most part, their tales speak of coming back with an overwhelming sense of love for each and every one of God’s creations.

Each physical item in this world has an innate intelligence and responds to our thinking patterns, and our moods. Plants are con-stantly striving to be more. They are constantly growing and moving further into the physical form from a light source which brings it energy for growth.

A Life of Loveis a life worth living

Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. H. L. MENCKEN

God is the greatest creator and source of love in this universe and all others. God loves us to no end. We are God’s children and we must remember this.

What one does to himself/her-self, he/she does to the whole. This also goes for hurting or helping others, the more we do it the more our world experiences. Let’s choose helping and healing each other. There is no need for pain, unless it is meant as a learning experience.

There is a great need for love. Not just of self and neighbor, but of God. God is the greatest creator and source of love in this universe and all others. God loves us to no end. We are God’s children and we must remember this. God suffers when we suffer. We are here to make choices out of love purely from our hearts. If we are guided by our feelings we have a very strong desire to help people close

by and afar. We are responsible for this

earth. We are responsible for the pollution or the beauty in how we take care of this planet. My best ideal is to let it be. To interfere as little as possible. It pains me to see animals hurt. It pains me to see nature destroyed for our sake. In fact, if it was actually for our sake we would do all in our power to help it survive and thrive and reach new potentials and become closer to divinity.

We are not bad people. In fact, inside each one of us is a light which emenates the more we are in a positive frame of mind. It is a beautiful state to be in. Stay in the light. Stay with the love of God.

Day by day we are building for eternity, every gentle word, every generous thought, every unselfish deed will become a pillar of eternal beauty in the life to come. REBECCA SPRINGER

It is important to forgive those who have hurt you. It will release you and allow you to accept the blessing of forgiveness from our Lord.

God is the power which keeps this world together. God is love. God is all things. God is in all things. We are god.

We forgive ourselves when we are patient and forgiving of others. It is important to forgive those who have hurt you. It will release you and allow you to accept the blessing of forgiveness from our Lord. He is ready to fill us with blessing as we pass things along. We work because God loves us. We can love God back and things get even better than we could possibly imagine.

We are always forgiven, it is sim-ply a matter of asking. “Ask and ye shall recieve” could never have been more true. God wants to help

us and give us blessings because we are who we are. Not because we are something we think God needs us to be. He loves us as we are, defects and all. He created us the way that we are. We can either accept our-selves through God’s loving eyes, or reject ourselves – but that won’t get us far. We believe in the power of life. We believe in the power of light and love. God is with us every step of the way.

AngelsAngels are with us always. They do not want to interfere but if we ask for their help they do such a thing. Living in God’s shadow is such a beautiful thing. He protects us always. We are always safe. We are

always successful. God is there for us and God loves us. Whatever it is that we have done that we cannot accept, God accepts. Jesus paid for our sins so we could live happy lives. When we help and care for each other we are showing our love and we are living in the right way.

We are all one. What I do to you, I am essentially doing to my-self. If I hurt you, I hurt myself. If I love you, I love myself. If I force my beliefs or if I force anything on you I am really doing this because I am not accepting who you are. It is important to remember that we must love one another and that can be a good thing. Love is all-conquering. It stands up to all battles. Love pervades this whole

life system.The planets, the stars, the space

in between, are all love.

GivingWhen we give of ourselves and of our resources to benefit others, God is proud of us. God is happy that we are loving and express-ing his love through our actions and deeds. Our thoughts are also powerful. They create our realities. If we think positively and lov-ingly with a happy heart we pass on goodwill and good fortune to our surrounding areas. This world is small yet infinite at the same time. We control nothing. God is the grand orchestrator. We have free will, however, to choose. We

can choose to live a life of love and blessings and care, or we can choose to live a life of torment. I’m not sure about you but I’ll skip the torment thank you very much.

Our bountiful alternative is love. God wants us to love one another. That is how we were built. God knows what is going to hap-pen. God has also let us make our own mistakes. But we learn, and God knows that.

MistakesThere truly are no mistakes in the grander scheme of things. God al-lows for sin (translated to mistake) so that we can correct ourselves and learn a lesson. God wants to prepare us for the spirit world

so we must live in the physical world and reign in our emotions and learn how to communicate. We must be here on earth to test things out and feel the conse-quences of our actions. It is much quicker in the spirit world, so here on earth it’s like having training wheels on. There are restraints to keep us safe until we really have learned how to do the things which we will be doing in the af-terlife, or when life actually begins in the spirit realm.

I cannot prove any of this other than I know when God is working in my life. When I let God in and trust in him, great things happen. I am led from situation to situation and I learn.

Love cannot save life from death, but it can fulfill life’s

purpose. ARNOLD TOYNBEE

Mistakes are simply miscalculations and as long as I can look at them and glean some positive message or lesson from them, it was worth it.

I make mistakes and for the longest time I would kick myself for them. Some more than others. But now I realize it is not neces-sary. Mistakes are simply miscalcu-lations and as long as I can look at them and glean some positive mes-sage or lesson from them, it was worth it. I must ask for forgiveness often and sincerely to be forgiven myself. How can I harbor ill feel-ings for another when it hurts me more to do so than to fogive and let live. I can’t. And I don’t. I forgive. I am forgiven. I love, and I am loved. Things are not perfect but they’re just the way they’re supposed to be right now. Right now is really all we truly have. The proof is in front of us. We either

create hell of heaven or heaven of hell. The effort is the same. It’s just a matter of choice. One is with glowing acceptance of God in our life and our life plan and the other is distance from God and ultimate torment. However, should we distance from God at any point, we are still loved. We must turn around when we know that we are distancing ourselves and bask in the full essence of God by enjoy-ing his presence once again. It is always there, we just have to look.

AskingI can ask for divine guidance at any time and I will receive it. God is in the coincidences. When we see signs or notice patterns it is

The best way to get to heaven is to take it with you. HENRY DRUMMOND

The more we accept God’s blessings for ourselves, the more God blesses us with such wonderful treasures daily.

important to pay attention. These are messages to help you on your journey. When you have a feeling that things are supposed to go one way, then let them. Even help them. God is giving us hints all of the time. If we choose to accept his plan for us, life is so much easier and we are blessed.

BlessingsThe more we accept God’s bless-ings for ourselves, the more God blesses us with such wonderful treasures daily. It is such a beautiful plan, and God delights in making us happy and seeing our love in action. If we allow God’s will to be done, then we will have heaven on earth. It’s coming, no doubt, are

we helping it along or forgetting the bare necessities of life, which are love, love and love. We fill ourselves with forgiveness, compas-sion, kinship, brotherly love, confidence, and all things good.

ConclusionShould you choose to live God’s plan by asking what it is that you are here for and to do things with love, you will be rewarded to almost overflowing with blessings from the Lord. Thoughts are an important resource. They turn ab-stract into reality. The laws of cause and effect are active in this world. Be of a positive influence and love God and you will be fine. That’s all. Pretty easy, huh?
