Good morning.
Good morning,
Grand Rising,
Great Rising.
So very grateful to wake this morning.
So very grateful.
Before we go into prayer,
Let's just take a few moments here,
Connecting to the breath,
Being in gratitude for the breath.
What an honor.
What a unique honor that we all get to have and experience.
We are all connected with this invisible thread of love through Spirit,
And we are all uniquely different.
It's as if there's this magical puzzle piece,
Excuse me,
It's as if there's this magical puzzle,
And each of us is a unique piece to fit perfectly in that puzzle.
Knowing that we are exactly as we need to be,
Our edges are exactly as they need to be,
Our smoothed out parts are exactly as they need to be,
And that self-discovery is a lifelong process.
Remembering that there is no rush to anything.
Nature is perfect in its law.
Life is perfect in its law.
Creation is perfect in its law.
I was told yesterday,
In order to get to know the Creator,
You must learn,
Look,
And observe the Creation,
And that is what we are.
We are God,
Spirit,
Universe,
The Creation from the Creator.
And so just take a few moments to sit with that.
God loved you that much to create a unique,
Loving extension of itself as you,
As you,
Not as someone else,
As you.
And so this is our great reminder that it does not matter what the opinion is of someone else.
It doesn't matter what the like or dislike is of someone else.
God created you,
Just as you are,
In an expression,
As an expression of Spirit itself.
As we remember that Spirit is always seeking to express itself,
And it can only do so through you as you,
Because there is only one you.
And thank God for that.
Each morning,
Each moment,
Each day,
Each nightfall,
The sun does rise.
The sun does set.
The moon reveals itself and illuminates the entire night sky.
So what worries,
What problems do you speak of?
Because God is,
Spirit is,
Love is present everywhere,
All the time,
In action.
It is with you in every moment.
And thank God for it.
Thank you,
God,
For your presence.
Thank you,
God,
For your life,
Which is an extension of us.
And we are an extension of you.
A small part to a greater whole,
Knowing that the wholeness is in each and every single small part.
As I've been waking these past few days and enjoying these moments of morning prayer,
I am truly humbled and so very grateful to be able to connect with myself,
With Spirit,
And with whoever listens to this prayer,
Knowing that it is blessed.
Knowing that it is blessed because it is blessed,
Not because there's anything that I have done or will do,
Because it is blessed,
Because God is.
And so whatever situation or circumstance we may be facing in this material humanness world,
We remember God is.
God is always in action.
God is always present.
God is always in its fullness.
God is always expressing love.
God is always teaching us.
Are we listening?
Are we listening?
Are we open and available to all that is being revealed and all that is being communicated to us and through us as us?
And if the answer is no,
That is okay because God is always in action.
So right here,
Right now,
In this moment you get to choose differently.
You get to choose to begin again.
You get to choose love.
You get to choose peace.
You get to choose harmony.
You get to choose reciprocity.
You get to choose joy in spite of,
In lieu of,
Because God is.
And in any moment you get to choose differently.
And so each moment I encourage you to connect to the breath,
To connect to the higher being that is within you and that is within all of us.
Knowing that every action and function of our body,
Temple,
Our emotional body,
And our physical,
Mental body is perfect as it is in all spiritual harmony,
In all spiritual orchestration.
Knowing that the rain and the sun and the stars and the moon,
Every day they do exactly as they are designed to do.
And so I ask us again,
Are we listening?
Are we open and available to spirit?
Are we open and available to love?
And if the answer is no,
That is okay because in this moment we get to choose how it is that we want to show up.
You get to choose.
We get to choose and begin again.
A book that I've been reading recently I would like to share.
It's called The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz.
And I want you to understand that love and God is present in this book in ways that you can only fathom if you read it.
Because you are only responsible for 100% of your half in any relationship,
No matter the relationship.
You are only and solely responsible for 100% of your half.
So let us do our half please.
Let us do it well and with joy.
Let us do it with grace and patience.
Let us do it with compassion and understanding.
Let us show up in the name of,
Rooted in,
Holding tall in love.
Remembering wherever you are,
You get to choose.
I recognize this presence is always in action and that it is ever present.
I know this to be true for my life,
Therefore I know it to be true for you and your life right where you are.
Right as you are.
Situation,
Circumstance and all.
Thoughts and all.
Doubts and all.
Fears and all because God is always present and is always in action.
And thank God for that.
So I recognize that peace and joy and patience,
Compassion and prosperity are right here right now.
There is nothing that we need to do to obtain it.
We must simply open ourselves up to align to it.
These are all characteristics and attributes of God.
I know that this presence is always present.
And I know that there is nothing else for us to do but to release this word unto the law,
Knowing that this word is blessed right here,
Right now.
And I encourage you to put a smile upon your face because everything is exactly as it needs to be.
So we thank you spirit.
We sit,
We stand,
We dance,
We laugh,
We cry.
We are in awe and we honor your presence and your very existence.
And so we say thank you.
We release this word into the cosmos.
We release this word into all of existence knowing that there is absolutely nothing for us to do because it is perfect as it is.
And so we breathe.
I love you all.
I honor you.
I see you.
I cherish you.
And I value you exactly where you are,
As you are.
Hold it down family.
Have a beautiful day.
I love you.
And until next time.
