Genuine YOU!

Claim nothing that is not true of your real self - your Christ-Self. I keep hearing people talk about "my diabetes, my arthritis, my ....". Quit taking these experiences in as if they were family members or good friends. Be very careful as to what you claim for yourself because it will show up on the screen of your life ready for full expression.

Claim what is true of your real self. Study your Bible and sacred texts; and meditate or listen to the Holy Spirit - indeed the Living Spirit within you to know what is true of you. Then boldy be that genuine YOU!

OMNIPRESENCE

Sometimes it does seem hard to get through situations; and more difficult still is trying to know GOD is with us even through the hard, dark and even ugly and disappointing situations. But when we LOOK UP, by changing our perspective from “half empty to near full” we see GOD in the midst and we can GET UP and move beyond the current circumstances.

We learn that there is value here in what we are going through and that we are being lifted to higher ground. The circumstances are happening to give us golden nuggets and answers to move into better options and up to higher standards. We begin to see that it's an experience that we're going through and therefore a change will come because experiences don't last forever; that this too will pass, unless we keep holding onto them and to the emotion to which we gravitated.

Hold onto GOD PRESENCE and gravitate to LOVE. When we recognize that the Presence of GOOD and MERCY and HOPE is alive and with us right there in our goings on, we begin to come up out of the hole. Recognizing the Presence of GOD leads us to see good in the midst, and, doing so gives GOD the glory.

When we glorify GOD-the Generous Giver in the midst, victory spills out, splashes forth and blooms all over, in and through us, lavishly. GOD’s giving is priceless. Oh-h-h yeah-h-h, I can feel this. It's joy…hope you can too? We need to know GOD in all we do to flow with the ALMIGHTY POWER which makes us productive and makes us who we are.

Search your heart. Think for yourself! Listen to and feel your own inner nudging which is loving, good and nourishing; then you’ll know it is of GOD because GOD is beyond good. Selah baby!

Smooches and Hugs,
Rev. Ethel
