My Son --by Isabel Ferreira

I greet you in this day of Grace. I offer you, today, my Love, extending It to all the aspects of your life. I share with you My Joy in Its fullness -- FULLNESS of Joy. The Joy of perpetual Guidance. The Joy of knowing that every detail of your lives is planned by Me, but planned with a wealth of tenderness and Love.

Wait for Guidance in every step. Wait to be shown My way. The thought of this loving leading should give you great Joy. All the responsibility of Life taken off your shoulders. All its business worry taken off your shoulders.

It is indeed a joy for you to feel so free and yet so planned for. Oh! the wonder of this -- a God-guided life! To think anything is impossible in such circumstances, is to say it cannot be done by Me. To say that is surely a denial of Me. Denying Me is denying your Self as you are part of Me! You are a part of Me and without you I am not complete.

My Son, hold My hand, today, and feel the warmth of My Love and I shall walk with you along your path and embrace you with My Light, filling your heart with Happiness and Peace! Give Me your thoughts, your eyes, your arms and legs, today, My beloved Son, and I shall fill them with My Power and unlimited Joy! Give Me your words, your decisions and plans, and I shall make them Mine and lead you to Heaven.

My Son, today give Me your hurts, your conflicts and fears and I shall wash them clean with Heaven's blessings and shower all seconds of your day with loving golden rays of Light that will shine through them and raise you to Heaven, along with all your brothers.

On this day, My Son, bring your tears to Me and I shall dry them instantly! Bring the brother you think you hurt and I will restore in both the kingdom of Peace. Bring the brother that you thought has hurt you and I will extend him your forgiveness to him and to Me, so freedom unites both of you and Love will bind you forever!

On this holy day, My Son, talk to Me about your uncertainties, your weaknesses, your sicknesses, your limits and frustrations, and depressions. In Me you will find the healing for all of it, and the comfort is sure. I shall remind you of an old fairytale, long forgotten, and as I whisper it in your ears I will wake up your memory of Paradise and your memory of your Self.

As you wake up, today, My Son, even before you open your eyes to the world around you, invite Me to share with you your senses, your feelings, your dreams, your fears and illusions. And as you do that, feel My Love surrounding and embracing you. Get closer to Me, in your mind. Listen to your heart beat and know that My heart is beating with you, so close, that soon you will not know the difference! Your heart will melt in Mine and all of your worries will melt as well. I will bring your heart back to your day, full of joy and happiness.

As you encounter any brother, My son, today, look instead at his heart and take all his fears and hurts and bring them to Me. I wait for you to help Me heal him and heal you.

As you think of or meet a friend, My dear Son, share with Me the Love you feel and extend and offer Me your willingness to bring him or her to Me in Heaven.
Today, as you think or meet an enemy, my dearest Son, bring his swords, weapons, fears, arrogance, attacks and all you think you see in him or her, to Me, and I promise you, that no more will you weep and no more will your heart cry in agony and pain… You and him or her will enter My Peace in Glory and your hate will be melted in the Universal Melting Loving Pot, where all hates and pains are transformed into peace and joy.

During this day, this holy day, My Son, spend your minutes and hours with Me, holding My hand. Ask Me to do your work, whatever it may be, to plan and manage all your businesses and attend all meetings, to face the challenges presented to you, to solve all problems that may seem to come to you.

Hand your driving to Me. Hand all your pains and discomforts. Hand all your medicines and sicknesses, and all difficulties with your colleagues, friends, enemies, employer or employees and I shall manifest in you My Wisdom and know how in all circumstances, to bring forward the best benefits for you and all those involved.

I Am the maker of the Universe. I Am the Truth and the only solution to any problem or situation. I do not know what a difficulty means and I am the ultimate Creative Power. In Me all things are possible, and nothing can be more difficult or easier than another. All Creation is equally perfect. Nothing in My Creation is more or less of anything. Simply, All Is. There is no order of difficulty in My Mind or in My Creation. All is perfect and complete.

So, My holy Son, on this day, trust Me, your Father, the One that has given you all Power and Joy of the Universe. Learn from Me, that I wish for you only Joy and Love. In Me you find the power to change the world you see. In Me you rest all day. In Me you Create eternally. Learn now that, besides Me, there is nowhere else to go, as I Am All There Is. Learn now, My holy and perfect Son, that you are the Son of the Only and Ultimate Power and Love that exists. You are my Son. So repeat during all minutes of your day, today, that you are Perfect, Unlimited, Powerful, Creative, Happy, Peaceful and forever in Paradise.

Hand to Me all that you may think is impossible to change. Hand to Me all the limits you believe I have placed in your life. Hand Me all conflicts that your heart keeps regarding my unconditional Love for you. Hand Me the failure of your memory that has stolen you the dignity of your Being. Hand Me all doubts and fears about a better future. Hand Me all hurts and pains from your past.

Hand Me all whys that you cannot answer. Hand Me all anger that you feel. Hand Me all poverty you think I have imposed on you. Hand Me all sins that you believe you have done, as well as the sins that you think you see in your brothers. Hand Me all codes of behavior and justice that you have learned so far. Hand Me all the theories and stressful researches that you have composed and invested in.

I Am your only and Real Protector. I Am your only Source of Wisdom. I Am your only Employer. I Am your only Love and Peace. I Am your only Solution. I Am your only Meaning. I Am your only Reference. I Am your only Pattern. I Am your only Limit. I Am your only Reality. I Am your only Source of Abundance and Success. I Am your only and Ultimate Essence.

On this eternal day, in this holy instant, My Son, join with Me in Heaven, your Home. Bring your fearful heart and lay it on My sacred Altar. I will make it strong and able to harbor unlimited and unconditional Love. I will adjust its beat to the one of the Universal Heart. I will bring it back to you and with this heart made anew, you will meet Me in Heaven and sit at my side. All angels will join us in our Eternal Joy and as you rest in the Peace of your Home. I thank you, My Son, for with You, I Am now complete, at Home!

Mistaken Identity --by Rev. Christine Anderson

One of the ways that I serve Spirit is through being a volunteer in a hospice program. I visit three Dear Ones at a nearby home for the aged. My job is mainly to provide cheerfulness, support and encouragement and of course, being a messenger of innocence and unity (Course 915). Sometimes that involves holding a precious little hand and just listening while favorite memories are shared.

Last week while I was making my visit, I requested to see Helen. The nurse on the floor responded by leading me to the dining/activity room where several ladies were sitting chatting with each other at the tables. She beckoned me over to my client who was sitting with her oxygen machine nearby. I had a sense that something was different. Had her hair grown that much since I last saw her? And where were her freckles? I had visited Helen in her room last time and perhaps the dimmer lighting had affected my perception of how she looked.

I told her how good it was to see her and asked her how she was doing. I noticed a somewhat inquisitive look coming from this Precious Being. About that time another nurse stepped over and announced that this lady was June! My new friend looked a little disappointed. Maybe because she realized that I had not actually come to see her.

Well, I thought, anyone I meet is part of the Oneness, my One True Self! There's no mistaken identity about that! This was my Divine Appointment with June. How lovely it is to live in my Right Mind. Any seeming "mis-take" can be transformed into a wonderful blessing of joy overflowing. I told her how glad that I was to meet her and that there was no mistake about our meeting. That it was "our time." Her face glowed with the acceptance of the love, innocence and unity that I felt coming from my heart.

Hello, Dear Sister, Brother, Friend in Love --by Rev. Phil Manke

 We've been offered a knowing of truth wherein all ideas thread in perfect harmony, each one in accord with all that is. No more is there need for mind altering substances or "vacation" rest periods because in our reality, for now, there is little or no insanity to alter or to vacate from.

As I accept truth in my mind, all is in perfect accord and I am wealthy beyond the measure of the world. For what has my path in the world been but a metaphor for seeking my higher or truest Mind that resonates with All That Is. All ideas in truth are validated through reason and no proof is required in the sense of the world of "facts."

The undoing of the world of insanity is made through patience and will. Your small will for truth joined with the Holy Spirit in you will bring this into being in your realization. There is truth beyond the planets and stars and the microcosm of science. These truths cannot be threatened or assailed in any way.

Only your enjoyment in acceptance is asked for by your Creator, Who has given this to you, when one Mind was established in you and which God holds to share with you in eternity. This true Mind is held in eternity for you to but accept it when you grow tired of dreams of sickness and war and grievances that cannot protect you.

Illusions are, by definition, not real, yet we spend our lives trying to make them real, yet all the billions of numbers cannot make any illusion real, although the ego strives to believe it can be done. But you can use your power for imagining them to escape them, with corrected and trusted guides. For make no mistake, we have imagined our fears and limitations.

The Holy Spirit in our mind can be connected to our reasonable will if we ask this to be done and for the veils and mists of illusion to be brushed aside for clarity. This is our atonement. Our at-one-ment, also. There are many further tools available to help us complete our connection to all that is true for us. We only need be willing. That is all.

How simple and gracious can the most important ideas in the world be to us? When will we begin? Why would we delay? Is there anything more important to us today, now? Is there any other time?

We must choose. Is fear more important than Love? Our world will be formed in the wake of this decision. Our Father awaits our return Home.

You Are Forever in Peace --by Rev. Robert Stoelting

I feel the loving embrace of Spirit. I hear the following inner message from the Voice of Peace.

You are forever in peace, no matter what you perceive. This is the truth. Peace is a characteristic of unity. Because there is no 'other,' there is no possibility of conflict. Without conflict, there is only peace. Love, by definition, is eternally extending Itself to All That Is. To know your Self, you must identify with the eternal extension of Love. It is through the extension of Love that you know you have received Love. Blocking the extension of Love makes Love unknown to you.

Love is the recognition of unity. It sees no differences. It sees only Itself reflected back. That is the miracle behind all images. That is all you will see when you identify yourself with Love.
