With the busyness of life it is important that we slow down and take the
time to reflect on what is most important in our life. We should take
time to give thanks to God for our many blessings. We should take time to
pray and seek the Lord's will for our life and ask the simple question “Am
I doing the right things with my life right now?” We should also take
time to enjoy the presence of our loved ones. We should ask how they are
doing, see if they need anything from us and simply show our love by
showing our attentiveness to them. We must remember and keep in mind that
the good seeds that we sow into the lives of our family and friends will
take root and bring forth a great harvest.
(1 John 4:7-12) (Philippians 2:14-15)
Loving others is like making a deposit in your bank account; it will be
safe, it will multiply and it will be there for you when you need it the
most. I encourage you to be introspective and see what is most important
in your life. If you think deeply enough, it will always come back to the
simple things; love, family, friends, health, peace and joy. Do your best
to build each of these as high as you possibly can because when you do you
will have found the true riches of life.
I hope this message inspires and challenges your heart to spread joy, peace
and love in whatever situation you may find yourself.
ONENESS
Have you ever had a moment of Oneness? Have you ever had a moment when you
felt at one not only with your highest self but also with life, love, the
universe, God, and everyone everywhere? Have you ever had a moment when
you felt the heart beating in your chest was in perfect rhythm with the
song of all creation? Have you ever had a moment when you finally felt the
joy inside of you that you have wanted all of your life?
The first time I had a moment like that I was a little boy sitting on my
Mom’s lap while she read me a story. In that second everything felt right
with the world. I remember too having moments like that each time I held
my own baby children in my arms and gently rocked them to sleep. Holding
those peaceful angels so close made my heart grow warmer and my love grow
deeper. I had another moment like that the first time I realized that God
loves me just as I am with all my weaknesses and faults. It was then too
that I first decided that I wanted to grow better for the Heavenly Father
who loved me so much. Over the years these moments of Oneness have grown
more frequent as well. Each one has filled me with joy. Each one has
connected me with others. Each one has brought a wholeness, completeness
and divinity into my life. Each one has made me more at One with the Love
that created us all.
Our moments of Oneness are the greatest moments in life. They are moments
we would all forever create if we could. Well, the wonderful truth is we
can!
How do you create these moments of Oneness? You just love. It is that
simple. It is that easy. The more you love the more you become one with
others, with life, and with God. The more you love the more these joyous
moments begin to fill your life. The more you love the more you bring the
eternal Oneness of Heaven down here to Earth.

Read and meditate on these scriptures:
Romans 12:15-18 “Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that
weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but
condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of
all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with
all men.”
1 John 4:7-11 “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and
every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not
knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God
toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that
we might live through Him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that
He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.”
Romans 12:9-10 “Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is
evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another
with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another.”
1 Peter 3:8-11 “Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of
another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil
for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that
ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. For he that
will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil,
and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good;
let him seek peace, and ensue it.”
All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
