Amazing Grace ~

How I began my relationship with God. My own personal relationship. This is something I want to write about. I want to weep for the feelings that have consumed me. Some sad, yet others joyful. With every shade of feeling in between. I liken my feelings to a rainbow.  Wow, I am learning to smile again. Really smile, from the inside out. As children we know how to do this. Yet somewhere along the way we forget when we have suffered. We wear our suffering, we become our suffering and all who come into contact with us are exposed to our suffering. Could not the purpose be to become LOVE. Become it. Be your life. Be your love. Be you.  Because you are what the world encounters so practice being you, in love.  It's a steady pulse.  Like a heartbeat. Constant.  Allowing the light to fill me up and then let it overflow. I love God. God is within and without there is support for the times we need external reminders, when our confidence in our faith is shaken. We seek others to lift us up, to validate, to fellowship about the virtues of man. Yet in love, we are the greatest virtue of man. The essence of pure white light. God is so vast it is beyond comprehension. So many divine messengers have come to speak our lazy languages as we have ceased to trust our intuition. The guide that is built within us all. A quote I read (I believe it's the Buddha, but don't quote me on this) says, "The key and the door lie within us all." I once again almost fell into another box just recently, a much larger box to be sure, yet a box all the same marked "religion".  I have wept, I mean wept. Sorrow leaking out of the depths of my soul. Wracking, heaving, yet subsiding, growing, and strengthening. Grieving and letting go. There is no turning back. I am a Pure Daughter of God. Love is my religion. My philosophy is kindness. I think that's what needs to be the focus of my life. Becoming not a "better" version of myself. It's creating a gentler, kinder me by changing behaviors that work against my own true essence. By embracing who I was meant to be and becoming who I am and letting go of who I was. By the Grace of God I am free to have the most loving relationship of all time, beginning with myself. This I can teach to my children. How to love the God within. Embrace the essence of who we are intended to be. Set the intention. Follow the virtues of love as dictated by the heart not reasoned by the mind. Quiet the mind. Your real intelligence will reveal itself. At least these are my thoughts at this hour...

Evolving into an authentic human BEING. Right here. Right now.
