Nourishment for the Soul In Word and Song: “Life Everlasting”

Gratitude and thanks will open wide the door to God’s divine presence. Do not hurry through the door; rather, step through quietly. Walk with Him a while, sit with Him a while, and listen to the resounding silence. Within your mind, you hear your thoughts, but in the quiet of His peace, you will hear Him. The foundation of His source of love is life everlasting.

What materials are you using to add to this foundation of His love? While you are in the quiet of His peace, let Him whisper to you the very first building block, for the strength in this block will open wider the door to His divine presence.

Forgive…Forgive yourself!…Forgive others!

Doing so will give you the courage and the strength to know His love. To live in His love. To be an instrument of His love. Courage and strength are the ingredients of having faith in forgiveness.

Understanding what it means to forgive is like understanding the recipe to your grandmother’s home cooking. Here are the ingredients in God’s command to us to “forgive”:

F……Faith in His Word is the key to trust.
O……Opening your heart to His truth leads to joy.
R……Recognizing that real love is encouraging will help you grow in your faith.
G……Giving more than you take is how I want you to live your life.
I……I (God) will always be with you.
V……Victory over death is love.
E……Emotion is the breath of love.

When you learn to forgive, you become filled with joy and wonder! Life is full of opportunity, joy, and wonder.
