Someone recently told me, I prayed and God answered, and it gave me goose bumps, or chills. Why would that be? It is because we feel we are not important enough for God to answer. We think we are too insignificant for Him to notice.
But nothing in life is too small for God's attention. No words go unheard. God allows what is for our best interest. He increases our faith by answering our prayers but He also makes us turn to Him by giving us hardships we cannot handle alone.
Seek me says God. Make me the pivotal point of your life that I may send blessings down upon you. God knows when each sparrow drops from the sky, when each flower opens up and turns its face to Him.
If we do not include God in our accomplishments they are empty, without spirit. With Him, even the most trivial of successes becomes a joy. How does He ask us to repay Him? Through gratitude, through humility, through love, and through sharing with others.
We also become the tools He uses to answer the prayers of others when we pass it on. Always give back a part of all you receive, that others too may prosper. That they too, in kind may pass it on. Thus God's love is shared and His word is spread.
Oftentimes what we want is not received. We think God does not hear. That is not true. It is we that are not listening. We have a fixed goal. He has a bigger path in mind. He is saying what you ask is not in your best interest.
Be open and I will lead you where you have never dreamed possible. But all things are possible in me. Put your faith in my guidance. Allow my will to fulfill your life. For you are my child and I want what is best for you. That's what God is saying to us.

Bounty
Reach out in gratitude for all life's gifts. Take time for stillness. Still the mind so you may hear the words of the Lord. All blessings are yours says the Lord, see and be thankful. Your home is not empty for the angels reside with you and you are never alone.
Open you heart to the fullness of life. God has plans for you and in good time they will be revealed. This is a time of healing and meditation so that you are better prepared. It is not yet time for the enlightenment, but it soon will be.
God is the way and the truth. He is the light in the darkness, all things come from Him. To believe is to see and know. When it is time all awareness will be yours. For now be at peace. The sanctuary of the garden is a place of peacefulness as is the heart of a righteous man or woman.
Believe, have faith, and trust. This is not the time to harvest but the time to plant the seeds and to water and nurture the soul. God is not all lightning and thunder. He is also the soft breeze and the ripening fruit.
Keep your vines healthy through prayer and seeking and in faithfulness and you will be rewarded with much bounty in due time.

Taking Wing
The angels came to me
like a dream it seems
in their arms I was free
together we took wing

God brings fulfillment
Life can give us so much more than we anticipated when we give control over to God. Our dreams are all so small compared with what He has prepared for our path. The surprises we will encounter, the twists and turns along the way.
Life truly is not a straight path to an intended goal but one full of new marvels, new people, new experiences, a return to school, a new career, and new hope. In the midst of what we planned God shows us the unplanned, at least not by us.
It is His guidance that leads us to a fuller life. One much more enriched than we ourselves ever dreamed possible, and it usually always involves making a differences in the lives of others.
Each of us, in some small way, can and will make a ripple in the world in our comings and our goings and in our contributions along the way.
We may not see or feel the ripple, but it is there non-the-less. A hummingbird may count on you for its meals, or your smile lights up someone's day. Your encouragement helps others to continue seeking a higher path.
The example you set is noticed in the eyes of those around you. Even the little things make a difference. Share what you receive that others may benefit also. Let the gifts God gives you not be wasted, but be a means of enhancing the world in some way.
Take time to notice the beauty in your surroundings, they are a gift from God. All things that come from Him are filled with goodness. He even gives us the gift of pets that we are never lonely, and have purpose to each day.
Open up your hearts, your minds, and your spirit to receive and God will fill them. In God there is only abundance. It is we who create a deficit. It does not exist in God. Through Him all things are possible. Without Him, no matter what we possess we are lacking and unfulfilled.

The joy of giving
The best gift we can get is giving. The wonder on someone else's face at the generosity of others is a blessing to the give. To help someone in their need and seeing the relief on their face brings us joy. To reach out to others gladdens our hearts.
What difference to someone else's life can we make today? A letter of cheer to someone who is lonely, ill, or depressed can make their day so much better.
A quick call, just to say hi tells someone you care. Whether to aid in a time of trouble or to celebrate a time of joy, when we share ourselves with others we are giving the greatest gift of all, ourselves, our time, our love.
Nothing wrapped and tied with a bow could mean more. Top know that they can count on you is a trust given that is not forgotten. We receive in turn ten-fold what we give from our hearts. It should not be done for any reward or recognition.
It can be done anonymously with only God aware of the good works we do. We can do it in His name and release the need for acknowledgement for all things ultimately come from the Divine. You may hold it to yourself or offer it up in thanks for all the wonders God has worked in your own life.
The gift of friendship and love is the most precious commodity we can give. It is a gift of the heart and the spirit. In some cases, people have been able to give others the ultimate gift, the gift of life, even after they themselves have moved on to the beyond.
Or they have borne a child for those unable to do so themselves. Giving makes life worthwhile. All of us, no matter how impoverished can give something, if only a smile. Be grateful for your ability to give to others in thanks for the many blessings that have filled your life and see the blessing in all things. God is generous indeed.

God makes himself known
God gives us the gift of His word in so many ways today. He reaches out through the media, magazines, books, and song. Maybe this is because people no longer take the time for the bible. It used to be the mainstay of the home.
Now we keep the kids tranquilized by the T.V. In the bible there was always a moral to a story. Now, too often, what we watch has no morals. It is just sex, violence, and foul language. But then God reaches out and gives us stories about Angles, miracles, and the living word.
He inspires songwriters, authors, and filmmakers, and slowly we see a change taking place in what we see, hear, and read. He brings faith to the fallen and discouraged. He makes us aware that He is active in the world and our lives and brings us to share the good news, and people are listening, and rejoicing.
More and more people are turning off the crime shows and onto Christ. The #1 best sellers are inspirational books. Topics such as Christian principles and values are opening people's hearts and strengthening their faith.
Giving and gratitude are encouraged by world famous talk show hosts. Owners of T.V. stations dedicate it to feel good shows with a message of love, compassion, and inspiration. The top songs speak of Angels in our midst.
More people are awakened and seek His world in these troubled times. Meditation and prayer are hot topics. People openly discuss their beliefs, reach out in prayer and make God a central part of their lives.
They make church an important part of their week and the spiritual a realization of who they are. Faith is growing and will continue into each and every millennium as we release fear and seek faith. We know we are not alone as more and more we reach out our hands to others and soon we will circle the earth with God's love.

Live as one with God
Do not only speak to God when you are entreating Him for favors but take time to share your hopes and dreams, your everyday thoughts. Take time to greet Him when you arise as you do the day. Take time to nourish your faith and spirit as you do your human body.
They both run more smoothly when we give them proper care and attention. If we spent as much time in prayer as we do in worry we would find no need for concern for we would allow the Divine to be active in every aspect of our life.
It has never been said that worrying over something has ever answered a dilemma, but it has been said that prayer has. For when we worry we are only seeking an answer from ourselves who obviously don't have it or we wouldn't be so concerned we are stuck in the worrying mode.
But when we pray we are seeking an answer from a Higher, more knowledgeable power. One who knows all the answers. One who can create the universe, move mountains, cause the sun to rise each day, and knows what is in our best interest.
The Divine is all seeing, all knowing, all loving, and desires our sharing in the everyday, in all aspects of our life. When speaking with Him becomes common place we find every aspect of our life changed for it becomes not just an occasional acknowledgement of God, but a Divine relationship.
He is part of everything we do and every decision we make So whatever occurs in our life involves the Divine also. In this manner we can rely on His guidance in all things for we don't wait for trouble to ask for His attention, but have an ongoing dialogue throughout each day, in our minds, in our heart, and with our spirit.
Do not just set aside time for God, but involve God in your life. He wants to be part in all we do, see, think, feel, experience. In order to become one with God we have to let Him in.
