As I wake up, I’m learning more about love, true love.
True love, unconditional love, is not about limitation, judgment, or comparison.
True love accepts beings as they are and offers compassion and mercy. It extends itself out. It is awareness. It is present.
It is Presence.
Thank You, Spirit, for the dissolution of the old earth that obscures love, and for the new earth arising in which waking up reveals our true love for all.

Win or Lose
“... If you think you have nothing to lose, you win. If you think you have something to win, you lose. Life is not about win-and-lose. Life is about being or not being, expressing or not expressing, who you are.” - Neale Donald Walsch
How I frame a situation makes all the difference in the world as to whether I am feeling at peace, being my authentic self.
And, having attachment to things and outcomes keep me from that peace. For it is only in the world of form that the notion of win or lose arises.
Everything that happens in the world of form is for my upliftment. Hence, it’s always win-win.
As I release my concerns, judgments, and attachments to Spirit, I find myself in a “win” position. For I am at peace, resting safely in the loving arms of God.

Just For One Day
“God just for one day let me see only the good. Give me the eyes of faith, the heart of hope.” – Daily Guideposts, February 7, 2010
God just for one day let me be free of judgment. Let me see through Your eyes with love and understanding of my fellows, practicing compassion and mercy.
God just for one day let me be full of faith every second. Give me the courage and the strength to trust in You and Your Will.
God just for one day may I honor You and praise You first, and then ask for Your Help. Let me feel Your Love, Your Joy, Your Peace.
And, God, just for one day let me live in the Now, not the future nor the past. Let me truly live one day at a time.

Listening
I strive to be a good listener when someone is talking to me. That entails being attentive and focused, not thinking of how I will respond or making judgments or being somewhere else. To be a good listener for someone is a loving, respectful act.
It’s also an honorable act. When I am attentive, I’m honoring that person - and God. For God sends messages and information in many ways, and through the words of humans is a prolific format.
What fun it is to be alert to God’s words when face-to-face with another human being! What an opportunity to bless one another! Who knows what I will hear from God as I serve another by fully listening with my ears, my mind, and my heart?...
Dear Spirit -
Make me a channel of clear two-way communication in the presence of others, and in the Presence of You and Your unseen helpers.

A Part of Me
As I was sitting in the Silence this morning, my mind wasn’t so silent. My ego was off making judgments about other people. But then, the Seventh Step Prayer from Alcoholics Anonymous came to mind and stopped my wrong mindedness in its tracks.
“My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad. I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows. Grant me strength, as I go out from here, to do your bidding. Amen.” (Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 76)
One of the many wonderful blessings of being in Program many years and having attended I don’t know how many hundreds of meetings during that time, is that many pearls of wisdom are ingrained in my psyche (soul) and can resurface at just the right time to help me with a situation, to get me back on course.
Judgment is a character defect of mine that still rears its ugly head from time to time. It’s a symptom signaling I am into myself and making comparisons, instead of being right-sized and in my right mind. The Seventh Step is about shifting my attitude so that I move out of myself toward others and God.
Having the words of the prayer come to mind did just that, and I gratefully went back to being in the Silence with God.

Beauty
I flipped my wall calendar this morning to welcome the new month of July... I cannot believe how quickly the time is flying these days!
The photo for the month is of a gorgeous purplish evening sky, with the moon rising behind a tree amid mountains. The quote by Confucius states: “Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.” How true this is.
And, is it not true of moi? And, not just in terms of the physical. How often do I not see the beauty in people, in their spirit? I don’t see past their ideas, their quirks, their complaints, their fears. Or I get stuck in my ego with its ideas, fears, and judgments.
Love is all there is, which means that each of us is love, and where there is love there surely is beauty.
May I take the time to see past the outer, and see the inner beautiful spirit of all whom I encounter this day.
