I feel that many ‘religious’ people falsely believe that they need to be pious, serious, or disciplined, in order to represent themselves as a spiritually-oriented person. But I’m quite certain that God wants us to be happy and have fun, even in our earth life. I also feel that it’s important for us to ‘love ourselves’ and to learn that ‘everything done in love’ is in harmony with the laws of God.
I also have found that many of the ‘disciplines’, created by ‘religious establishments’, have caused God’s beloved children to believe they are sinners, when they are not. This goes against-the-grain of helpful instructions for spiritual growth. When we do our best to be kind, helpful and loving, we will receive help from guardian spirits. Suggestion; Accept that you are a beloved child of an awesome Creator, and that you have many opportunities to discover ways you’ve been given to see yourself as one of God’s precious children.
After I started writing these Blogs, in December 2009, to share the Angel’s teachings, I discovered that they were averaging about one blog per week. Later, when relatives were planning to visit us in Santa Cruz, to celebrate my 80th Birthday, I could see that I’d be able to contribute 80 blogs, by my 80th B’day in July. This game gave me incentive to continue sharing the wonderful information given to us from Celestial Spirits.
This may not seem like a very ‘spiritual’ message, but I feel an important lesson to be learned is that human beings are children of God, and that we do not need to do anything momentous, or spectacular, to be loved by our Creator. We need to do our best, and have Faith that God will do the rest.
God is Merciful. When we pray for forgiveness for our sins, which are things we’ve done out-of-harmony with love, we will be forgiven when we pray earnestly with a contrite heart. I said once to a friend that, “We cannot love others more than we love ourselves.” And their response was something like, “I know I love my daughter more than I love myself.” Let’s try to recognize that God’s laws are accurate, even if we ‘think’ we love others more than we love ourselves, it may not be true.
Lesson for today; Know that you are a beloved child of God, accept yourself as ‘special’ to our loving Creator, with wonderful oppotrunities to progress in Love. Amen
