Today's Affirmation

"Today I begin expanding my view of my Higher Power."

"Love is an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken."-William Shakespeare

This is one of my favorite quotes from Shakespeare's Sonnet 116.  The love that Shakespeare talks about is unconditional love.  The love that stands firm even when great disruption and turbulence try to disturb it.  The love that keeps loving no matter what.

 

This is the love of the Universal source.  The love of All That Is.  The love of God.   It is an ever-fixed mark.  It is unshakable and immovable. 

 

I have never believed in an angry God, a bitter God, a resentful God, a punishing God, a God of terror and destruction.  And I feel very sorry for those who believe this.  This provincial view was established for the control of the people.  To keep them in fear.  To keep them in line. To follow the rules.  What a horrible thing to always be threatened by an abusive concept of God.

 

Think about this:  We are told we are made in the image of God, so for those people who believe in an abusive God, does that mean that they too are abusive?  critical? resentful?  punishing?

 

NO!  We are made of a diviner essence.  An essence of LOVE.  A pure, true ever expanding heart that never stops loving, never stops giving.  Ever guides us and provides us with celestial help in the form of angels.  Makes available to us spiritual guides to help us along the way.  Encourages  us to commune with our loved one who have already passed over into spirit form.

 

The Universal Source of All That Is, no matter the terminology used to name it-God, Force, Source, it doesn't matter, is all the same--PURE LOVE.

 

So, dear friends, maybe it is time to expand your view of your Higher Power.  Instead of thinking of this pure source of love and kindness as a finite human figure or a image so far away that you can't quite connect with it, think of it as the best and purest form of love-unconditional love.

 

In Love and Light-Always,
