‘ how necessary it is to be true to a path of love ’

Oh how much we need such guidance! To remain loving, to truly act from love, to be love in a broken world, to feel loved and flow with love ourselves, how beautiful this sounds, how determined to follow, how necessary it is to be true to a path of love, to be a true Christian and yet how hard in practice to sustain. 

We must seek congruence within and without ourselves in all our thoughts, actions, deeds, motivations. Easy perhaps in brighter moments, the true challenge comes when we are sorely tested, mistreated, maligned, abused, harmed by others, let down and abandoned by friends and betrayed by our enemies. Let us see that this is truly when the loving heart needs most to be aligned with the Heart of Love, that it might not break and be irreparably damaged. This is when we must turn our faces to the cross and seek Christ to come to our aid and show us how to live truly from love. This is when we must call on the Spirit for Wisdom and Discernment, for the Power to overcome evil and to not follow a path away from love, based on our hurting, broken selves. This is when we must ask the Father to tenderly hold us and keep us safe, even through death that will bring us through to new life in God. For we seek not to condemn, not to cruelly punish, not to hurt back, if we truly love and yet we also ask for Justice, Truth : bringing responsibility and accountability to our persecutors and harmers, whether deliberate or through ignorance. But we also ask that all painful, hurtful, harmful situations be immersed in love and that we are kept safe ultimately and remain loving in the core of our being, nurtured and safe guarded by the Heart of Love, that we do not fall from grace and find ourselves lost to goodness.

 And so we cling on to God and pray with absolute desire, to be led always towards love and to be continually guided to live a life that is fundamentally unconditionally loving, not just a shallow, conditional, shadow of what is possible with God in our hearts and a true to desire to love and serve. Amen

I bask in the Light of the Son

So, I thought I would try something new - and start sharing my personal experience of God.

So here I am and it is a beautiful sunny day. The daffodils are shining, gloriously, the sun flowing straight through them, illuminating them in all their translucent beauty. 

The tulips have their petals wide open as if they are saying, “Here I am Lord, let me adore you. See, I am wide open to receive your blessing. I open my heart and receive your light.”

And so it is with me, as I venture outside and bask in the loveliness and warmth of the Sun, that lights up my life today. Or should I say, I bask in the Light of the Son, for indeed the sun is God’s gift of life to us all?

Living in the Heart of Love - a new review!

Recently, I received this wonderful book review, for ‘Living in the Heart of love’. You can find more information about the book here: 

http://www.holyway.co.uk/love/index.html

“What a magnificent piece of work !!! I love the design of the book. It is easy for the eyes to look at and the bold letters, the space and length of passages makes it easy to read. It is a testimony of two people facing ongoing and never ending suffering together and thereby finding a deeper love that only few ever come to know. In the midst of deep heart lived pain, they shine the light and love of the Almighty One so bright and so cleaThrough their personal experience they share their horrible and beautiful testimony of how they have survived for decades living with unbearable suffering in all aspects of life and yet found not only courage and strength to go on, but also a deeper love and peace as they discovered the secret of entering into The Heart of Love.

It is life lived as painfully raw as it gets and love so tender and compassionate put together in the most breathtaking way. It is a masterpiece!”

‘For God is ever present and His love flows in all abundance.’

How can we not be surrounded by His love? For God is ever present and His love flows in all abundance.  As you pray and enter more fully into awareness of the Heart of Love, so you can come to this profound revelation. Yet in times of difficulty and stress, pain, discomfort, overwhelming problems, grief, fear, we can so easily forget it and feel isolated, alone, desolate and hopeless. 

It is then of the utmost importance to look with inner eyes and see God with us. It is then of the utmost need to look up and see His face before you. It is then that it is safe to cry out Lord heal me, Lord help me, Lord protect me, Lord save me. Lord surround me with your love. Amen

He has no limit

Oh Heart of Love, oh Mighty Trinity

Bless us with miracles.

‘ He has no limit.’

All things are possible to God. He has no limit. Let us remember this when we pray. Let us know in our hearts that miracles flow from the Trinity. That they are very real and very possible. That when we ask, let us ask mightily in confidence that we will be heard and that God will answer mightily. Let us also pray humbly that we know it is His power working in us that will save us. Let us pray silently when words will not come to our lips, let us pray in stillness when words will not come to our minds, let us pray in tears, in actions, in tenderness, in all that we are, that we might receive this incredible blessing. And when we can no longer feel that we can pray ourselves, let others pray for us, in hope and faith and when we are all spent, let the Spirit Himself carry our prayers of the heart, of the soul, of our most desperate need, to the Father. And even more, let Him there pray for us, that we might know the intimate connectedness of the One in Three and may we receive the miracle that we need. For The Trinity are one and they are the utter totality of love, within and beyond time and space and they hold us close and immerse us in that love. Therefore we need never be fearful or hopeless again. Only turn our eyes inwards and reach our hearts upwards, that miracles might pour out upon us. Amen
