Journey : James Dillett Freeman
"We make a journey, but from where to where?"
She asked. " To God" I said, and left it there.
But I have asked, too why we had to start
Out of the shelter of his loving heart
And take so roundabout a road to come
Back to the loving heart we started from.
The Journey has to be our way to grow
Toward some fulfillment more than we may know.
God & I are Love
Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He that does not love does not know God for God is love. John 4:7, 8
Happy Easter! Christ is Risen!
Easter is the awakening and raising to spiritual consciousness of the I AM in us, which has been dead in trespasses and sins (the messes of our lives) and buried in the tomb of materiality.
We are called to leave behind us the limited sense of being only human, give up dependence on things of the world and others, and follow the inspiration and guidance of Spirit.
We are called to this new life and way of being and to live this way always. Easter may be celebrated on a particular day but must be lived daily. We know that the Christ presence is within and Jesus has said “I am with you always” Matthew 28:20
My prayer for you this Easter is that you awaken to the spiritual consciousness of I Am and spread love in the world.
Happy Easter! Christ is risen!!
God is blessing you!
Love
John

Good Friday--22nd Psalm
Of Jesus' last words some of the most famous are "My God My God why have you forsaken me."
Some scholars suggest that these words were actually Jesus reciting the 22nd Psalm. You are probably more familiar with the 23rd Psalm. (the Lord is my shepherd...)
So here is the 22nd Psalm for your reflection.
God is blessing you!

Psalm 22
1My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
2O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
4Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
5They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
10I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
11Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
20Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
21Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
22I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
23Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
24For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
27All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations.
29All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
31They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
