Your Experience of God is Uniquely Your Own

If you search for God with all your heart, you will surely encounter Him in a way only you can identify.

Everyone will experience Him differently.

We're all many billion facets of His Being, and that's how it will be for each one of us.

And so I wonder why people say theirs is the only true way of experiencing God or of honoring Him.

That's how religions have been formed.

And that's how we've all been controlled to think.

But what if God came to you in an entirely different way?

Would you welcome Him if He came to you differently?

Like in an unexpected dream I once had of Him.

I woke up knowing He was all that, making Himself felt and known as that.

He was gentle and yet powerful.

Soothing and yet sublime.

And since I have been searching for Him all my life as I did my own thinking, He came through in many different ways. 

So who's to say what is right or what is wrong?

Who's to say theirs is the only correct way of experiencing God?

Perhaps, if people stopped arguing or debating, putting each other down, or mocking each other, God can come through beautifully and unimpeded.

I feel that if you really want to experience God personally, all you have to do is ask.

Pray to Him directly.

I pray to Him as a daughter would to Her One True Father -- the Creator of All.

And He always comes through my dreams, visions, or mind's eye in a way I can understand.

Thus, this blog and other blogs I've created.

There's so much to share, only because I have opened my heart and mind to Him.

Perhaps, He doesn't see any block in my receiving Him in my heart, mind, or spirit, so He comes through beautifully.

It has become so for me that I'm like an expectant child, happily awaiting more messages or instruction from Him.

And the same would be for you if you open your heart and mind to Him and Him alone.

Welcome whatever message, answer, or instruction that will come through that you may have asked for.

Only God can clarify your mind and heart.

Only He will give you the answers you seek.

I merely share with you my own experiences.

Your own will be different from mine, for you are uniquely you.

God doesn't need us to create a new religion from our experiences.

As our Father, He would want us to get along and to help each other.

We are all brothers and sisters and He is our Father and Creator.

Why do we make things too complicated?

Where there is complexity, there will be division and confusion.

God is All About Unity.

He knows I like things simple, so He comes into my life that way.

I have a five-year-old heart that seeks clarity, simplicity, and joy.

If you desire Him more than anything in the world, you will love how He will show up in your life.

Make Him the priority in everything and He will reflect the thought and energy you have.

Allow no one to tell you how God will be in your life.

For your soul to be happy, you must know Him directly.

That has been the objective of our lives anyway -- to experience the Love That Only He Can Give.

Actually, all we need to do is re-connect and re-member.

He was never far away from us.

He was always in our hearts. 

When you seek God above all, expect to be forever changed.

Contentment is a Beautiful Thing

When I think of peace, I think of the ocean.

Of quietude and nothingness.

Of not having to be anything or something, but just to be.

To relax and rest your mind.

To have your moment's peace and serenity.

Even as contentment can be anywhere you are, with who you are.

Of not having to compete in any way whatsoever.

Of patiently waiting in line as others do for you know you will have your turn, too.

Of knowing you have done your best and sometimes you just need to let things evolve on their own.

You become content when you have no competitive bone in your body.

It's also when you appreciate everything around you.

Especially when you know God has always been good to you, and that if there was unkindness among humans, it's always because we forget to be kind, sweet, and loving.

Many things we can be content about:

1. That we each were born into a family.
2. That we are able to wake up each day.
3. That we have food on the table.
4. That we have a place to sleep.
5. That we have clothes and shoes to wear.
6. That we have work, no matter how humble it may be.
7. That we are loved by God.
8. That God doesn't judge us.
9. That we have each other, no matter how few friends we have.
10. That we each have great potential.
11. That's there's nothing to prove to anyone.
12. That we are complete as we are.

Of course, that's but a few of the many blessings we have each day and each lifetime.

The days you feel unhappy, restless, or discontented, stop a moment and rest.

You need to care for yourself at that moment.

Perhaps, you're not feeling loved or appreciated.

Be kind to self always.

Don't let others pressure you into being who you are not.

God knew what He was doing when He created you.

You were created in the image and likeness of God.

That's a good ground for serenity. 

Aspire never to compete.

It's much more fun to work harmoniously alongside others.

If you can't, then work well with yourself.

Some are cut out that way. 

Discontent comes from comparing yourself with others.

I've already known a long time ago that there will always be better-looking, luckier, and more intelligent people than me.

I've come to terms with all that.

When you accept, you begin to relax.

You begin to appreciate yourself more.

All that really matters in the end is if you are living up to God's Truth alone.

And this blog intends to explore that.

The Secret to True Communications

It has been and will forever be.

The secret to true communications is "listening".

Take that further and we can say the priceless secret to true communications is "listening with the heart".

Listen with your whole being.

You can tell if people are just tolerating you when they sort of listen but they're not really interested in what you're sharing. They're more intent on speaking or don't really get what you're all about. And possibly, it doesn't matter much to them.

And oftentimes, those who really have a lot to say don't get listened to, only because they're basically quiet, non-invasive, highly-sensitive, and shy.

That's why a lot of people end up in the nut house. These are the forgotten people. They never get to share their wisdom -- drowned in all the world's cacophony.

People don't listen to them, make fun of them, think they're weird, think they're crazy, think they're of no value, just have them along for the ride, and even ridicule them.

But there's a very strong possibility these "forgotten people" may make more sense than we seemingly-normal people do.

Of course, they can't tell us anything anymore because they've gone off the far edge from our neglect and ridicule. This profound and touching movie I saw a few days ago will show you a very good example.

I honestly believe EVERYONE's an interesting person for we are all children of God. And if I had the time and space in the world, I'd listen to ALL of you. Maybe I can still do that. I'd listen to your stories, to what made you who you are, to everything you had to go through, your joys and your pain. I'd listen to your dreams. I'd make it easy for you. Because no one made it easy for me, but I can do it for you. I have it in my heart to do so. That's my dream and my reality. It's my mission. By the Grace of God, I will be able to pull it off.

It takes great heart and sensitivity to be able to "detect" what people truly need. It takes all the listening with our hearts that we can muster. If we can do that, we'd all learn a lot from each other and all our lives will be transformed beautifully.

Interestingly, there's that word "detect" in "detective". Like a good sleuth, you have to find out what people really need or want by listening to them. Oftentimes, the key is in what they're not saying. Coax them to verbalize it.

That's how we can communicate better. Let's listen with our whole being to who people are, what they are, what they have to say. 

I've even trained myself to listen to those who cannot speak. I live and breathe it every single day. They test our love, care, attention, and compassion.

The eyes speak much. So do the hands, the face, the voice, the smile, the inflection, the tone, the person's whole countenance, the things they do, and the things they don't do.

Everything actually speaks for you before you even open your mouth.

The only question, has been, have we been listening?

Do we know the message behind the words, the laughter, the tears, the joys, the sorrows, and all that sharing?

Do we listen with our heart?

Do we listen with our whole being?

Do we listen with the God in us?

You will love all the things you will learn just by listening that way.

And your life will be forever changed because you made time and realized what  mattered most. You will be grateful for everything.

Make time to listen to others now and really listen with your whole heart now.

You don't need a stethoscope.
