It’s a wonderful life, if we strive to make it so. Challenging, confusing, complicated, yes, but it is what we make of it through our thoughts, expectations, and efforts to be as loving, friendly, and caring as possible. This new Easter message is that we all have the potential to develop our Divine Soul quality, which is the Christ-Principle latent in everyone’s soul. This was, and is, Jesus’ message. He came to announce the rebestowal of the soul’s potential to receive God’s Gift of Divine Love. Our beloved Brother Jesus prayed throughout his childhood and early adult life to be close to his Heavenly Father. He prayed sincerely and frequently, longing for God’s Will to be done in his life. He learned from the scriptures that a Messiah would someday come and bring news of a New Covenant, a Special Gift from God, which would bring redemption to God’s children.
When Jesus was about 20 years old, he had the astounding thought that he might be the one chosen to deliver the Glad Tidings of the New Covenant — the now available Gift of Love, the Substance of God’s Divine Soul. Jesus conferred with his cousin, John, later known as the Baptist, and worked out the plan for John to go forth and prepare the people to repent their sins, and to be baptized in the name of the Holy Spirit. Jesus would become the exemplifier of the Grace of God’s great Gift of Divine Love, and demonstrate what God’s Love in the human soul could enable a person to become in their life.
Today, we, who are living on earth, have the potential to become divine souls through sincere prayers for forgiveness and Mercy. Divine Love has the power to transform the natural soul into a Divine soul when prayed for frequently, earnestly, and with faith that God will answer these heartfelt prayers.
If we wish to develop the highest potential of our souls, we need to do our part by learning to love ourselves and others. Love begets love. Just ‘thinking about wanting to change’ will not bring about a transformation of soul. Our heart’s desire needs to become involved in our quest. Love is a spiritual emotion which comes from the soul. In order to develop our love nature, it needs to be sought for through prayers to a spiritual power, the Source of Love. We can start today. God will bless us all with Love. Amen
