FEARLESS
…Fear not; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Holy Bible, St. Luke 2:10
My beauties, fear is self-defeating. That is why it is so important to find within you that Indwelling Presence which is real. That is where you make that connection to the creative power of this universe. I call it God; you can call it anything you wish, but Its nature is pure love, the opposite of fear.
The truth of the matter is we are inundated daily in the outer world with fear-inducing messages—delivered daily from the television, our phones, our frightened neighbors and friends. “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs…” (Rudyard Kipling)
Every day I sit in the silence of my own soul. Over the years, I have developed quite a relationship with the God within me. That God keeps reminding me of the beauty all around me—in the birds, the mountains, the smiling children, the sky, the shared memories with friends, and the endless possibilities of a life surrendered to God.
I have a term for those moments when something happens so perfectly just as if life had been orchestrated to remind me that God (this universe) is always for me, never against me. I call those moments my “cherry pie moments,” (named for a particular incident which was undeniable in its gift).
Once we can see what happens when we become so in harmony with the flow of this universe, when we begin to live our daily lives tuned in to the indwelling presence, there is no question in our minds that we live in a loving universe that is always for us—never against us. We see that “cherry pie moments” are happening all the time. Our gratitude increases mightily which adds even more to our bounty.
This existence I’m describing does not come from the outer world; it comes from a true knowing within yourself that you are a powerful being of light and love, and that is your purpose for living. So move into the stillness, meditate and pray to know yourself. Therein, my Beloveds, you will find the love of your life and your true freedom.
