What do we have inside of us that becomes the greatest gift? It is the love of our Creator, the Divine Presence that lives within our heart.

This World offers many temptations that others judge us for. These inner feelings, these moments of love and compassion can change our planet.

What can we do for our beautiful Mother Earth? How can we live each day with purpose and joy? The secret is to see Spirit in all and to see love behind even "the roughest strokes of God."

We have this treasure, this fountain of unbelievable glory, this unending supply of love right within our soul. Each person is a gift of Spirit to our World. How can we reach this most precious gift? In the silence, the "still small voice" awaits our listening.

It comes from the depths of us, from our "Center" where the Spirit abides. The voice blossoms as soft as a flower, it presents itself without the chatter of our thinking. It has nothing to do with our own internal ideas, or the processes of the mind.

The "voice" comes from the soil of our souls, and is just there for the picking. The words present themselves in a place of great quietude and emptiness. It's as if they "appear" audibly on a perfectly clean, still, slate.

The words are whispered to us by some great wise unseen Master who brings forth great knowledge for our higher learning. These messages can change our lives and bring to us a truth that must be known. They are an eternal gift and proof of our connection to the Divine Spirit within.

"My dwelling place is love. Its home is the heart. It reaches to all corners of the universe and comes right back to live in you. It deems the impossible. It sanctifies the improbable. It performs the miraculous. It feeds all souls. My love encompasses every atom of space - it soars in between the atoms of quantum theory. It fuels all sources of energy. It lives in each breath. It creates anew at each second. My love forgives all weaknesses, all harmful ways. It understands the fall from Spirit with compassion.

"My love knows no boundaries yet is in all the limits of time and space. It fills the entire cosmos and creates more love. This love can be yours, yours for the asking.

"It can fill your being at each moment of time. Like the eagle, it can lift up the most downtrodden heart. It can sing like the sweet birds in the morning welcoming the new sun's light.

"The past is over. The future is what you make it. The now is when I love you, filling your spirit to encompass the whole world. This love is possible to create Heaven on Earth. Its life lives each moment in the creation of time. If I were to speak, there would be words of love...love...evolve. Love evolves into more love. All is in divine order with helping unseen hands. Every moment counts as my children grow into beings of light where love dwells, heals all, is all. Amen."
