Being One with God

To be One with God,

What a beautiful relationship that would be.

What a marvelous goal.

It would involve being close to God.

Imagine being so close 

You become One with Him.

How do you become One with God?

Who has ever considered that?

Isn’t that going too far?

Is that realistic? 

Is that possible?

Yes, it is!  

And what would that involve? 

Talking to God,

Listening for his voice within,

Thinking of Him,

Making Him present in your life,

And much more,

There will be subsequent poems

On being

One with God.

Remaining Positive

“Remaining positive all the time,”

What a wonderful goal that would be.

The negative way gets you nowhere,

Only the positive way is acceptable.

Make that your choice. 

Remaining positive is a challenge!

My main concern, 

Should not be 

How someone else reacts,

But how I react.

Being negative is not acceptable.

It’s no way to treat anyone,

No way to treat the children of God,

Not to mention God.

All must be shown love.

The positive way

Is the only way to treat God.

My ultimate focus

Is on loving God.

There’s no other way.

What Does God Want of Us?

What Does God Want of Us?

What is it He wants?

What does He expect of us?

What do we want of ourselves?

What do we expect?

Let’s try some possibilities,

How about making the world a better place?

Or making ourselves a better person?

Or helping others excel?

Or perhaps he wants all three,

A more beautiful me and you,

Which would make a more beautiful world.

Now that would be something.

Wouldn’t God want us

To take care of his incredible world,

And its splendid inhabitants?

Imagine the reward you will receive!

Enjoy Life

In order to totally do so,

You must accept every event in your life

As having a positive outcome.

If you can’t accept it,

You won’t enjoy it.

Enjoy life

Means you must enjoy everything

That happens in your life,

Not just the things you choose,

But destiny’s choices as well.

Accept your life

Wherever you are,

Regardless of the circumstances.

Let destiny play its hand, 

And life will be a joy.

When you accept destiny’s gifts,

You are in destiny’s perfect place,

And you undoubtedly are the perfect one

For that perfect place.

Enjoy!

Your Perfect Place to be

This applies to every person in the universe,

It’s the only place to be,

It’s in the now,

In the present.

There is never a better place to be at any moment,

That’s where a saint must be.

Don’t you want to be a saint?

Destiny,

(Might that be God?)

Has brought you there.

That adds to making it the best place to be.

And what must you do there?

You must wholeheartedly accept it,

That’s all you have to do.

And remember,

It’s the perfect place to be,

And you are there.

It might not have been your choice,

But now

You must accept it

Because it has become your perfect place to be.

Enjoy it!

There is a Good God

There is a Good God

There is only a Good God,

There is no Bad God.

He does not exist.

That God,

Is a figment of your imagination.

How can there be negativity

In God?

A Bad God would be a negative God.

Why would you want that?

Don’t you want a Good God?

There’s no other God that could exist,

Certainly not a Bad God.

How could you think that? 

We have been told not to worship a False God,

That’s what a Bad God is.

The Bad God does not exist.

Don’t create Him in your head.

My dear, dear fellow traveler,

You are on a journey,

Just as I am.

We are fellow travelers,

As is every inhabitant of this universe.

Perhaps,

We ought to be assisting one another 

On our journey.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we all traveled together?

Then we would truly be fellow travelers.

It’s such an important journey,

It means everything.

Let’s make it a good journey.

Let’s travel together, 

Let’s be there for one another.

Focus on People

Focus on People

11/14/16

Monday

Focus on people,

Those beautiful creatures of God.

We often overlook and minimize their importance to us.

We need them,

They need us,

We need each other.

But we tend to focus on ourselves, 

Not on others.

The more we do that, the less we gain.

On the other hand,

The more we focus on people, 

The more we gain.

We are here to help people.

They need us,

We need them,

We need each other.

My task is

To focus on the people.

Anxiety Ain’t Cool

In fact, it’s foolish.

It’s no where’s land. 

When you’re anxious 

You’re nowhere, 

You’re stuck.

Anxiety will get you nowhere,

It’s not the place to be.

Anxiety is never the place to be,

It won’t get you anywhere,

It’s no where’s land.

There’s only one thing to do

Get out of there.

It’s the only constructive thing to do,

It’s your only task,

Find your way out.

To protect yourself from anxiety,

You always have to know your way out,

In case you fall into the anxiety trap.

So make a plan to get out

Before anxiety strikes.

And the goal will be 

To find peace and calm,

Quiet and stillness 

That’s heaven.

Make it your home.

The Essence of Prayer

Prayer is our connection with God,

That’s the very heart of prayer.

It enables us to become One with God,

It allows us to develop a relationship with God.

Do you want to be close to God?

Pray! 

Prayer is a way, a channel

To understand God,

To get to know God,

To unite with God,

To love God,

Pray!

And this is just the beginning of the story,

About the essence of prayer.

It’s the tie that exists

Between

Heaven and earth.

Pray!

Lesson Four

Let’s Learn to Pray

Lesson Four

Let’s Make Lesson Four

Your Creation.

Let it be totally your idea,

Your prayer.

And God will see it as a work of art,

Emanating from your heart

And soul and inner being.

It’s your prayer, 

Be still.

It’s totally Yours,

Let it come forth. 

And you may hear yourself speak,

But it may really be the voice of God.

Listen to what He has to say to You.

You’re in God’s presence,

Maybe you’ll see Him, or hear Him

Or feel Him.

He wants to hear from you.

Speak to Him. 

He’ll be pleased,

He loves you.

And God will appreciate what you said to Him.

Lesson Three

Friday  

Let’s Learn to Pray

Lesson Three

Let’s combine receiving gifts from God 

With giving Him gifts.

It’s fine to ask God for gifts,

But don’t limit your prayers

To “please give me…”

For every gift you receive from God

Give a gift to his universe.

Do something that will make the world a better place.

God would approve of that,

And you in turn will be showered with more gifts.

There are three prayer lessons to note:

Talk to God as a friend.

Be grateful to God for His gifts.

And when God gives you a gift, 

Give Him a gift for His universe.

He will not let you out-do Him.

Lesson Two

11-2-16

Wednesday

In Lesson One

We noted prayer is simply

Talking to God.

But it’s best when it’s done

With Love, Peace and Joy,

And we feel it within,

As we converse with God.

In Lesson Two

We note that in addition 

To being filled with Love, Peace and Joy,

It’s good to be filled with gratitude.

We need to be grateful

For all God’s gifts,

And we need to identify those special ones.

Gratitude 

It’s so important.

It says to people we’re not selfish

We think of others,

And that opens the door to receive,

And for God to give

And we continue to be blessed

Gratitude

It is our second prayer lesson.

It shows God we appreciate his gifts.

And God appreciates your gratitude
