Open Heart            By Sandy Jones

 

Love is with us Always. It is Here and It is Now and it is All That Is.

With the pure Faith of my own deep knowing I leap into Life's Everlasting Love.

I cherish this, my own trusting Heart.

If you want to live in Joy and Peace then you have to take the action of Living in Joy and Peace.

Catherine of Sienna said:

"My me is God.... Nor do I see any other me but my God himself."

And then we have this from St. Teresa of Avila:

"We bloomed in Spring. Our bodies are the leaves of God. The apparent seasons of life and death our eyes can suffer; but our souls, dear, I will just say this forthright: they are God Himself, we will never perish unless He does."

There is no loss of our tangible world, when we find this 'greater understanding". There is no loss of at all. In fact we see Life becomes more abundant and we understand that no one and nothing is ever lost. We discover everything is as wonderful as we had ever hoped, and better--sweeter, simpler, easier.

The Joy is like "low and behold" I am still standing right here, and I am my self, just the same self, but at peace and in love and not afraid. The child again. I am in the world and the world is mine.

Here I find my Heart and I find myself in simple childlikeness again.

How beautiful this is, so uncomplicated and easy.

What a joy to leap into the intangible, invisible and unprovable and find It proves Itself at every living moment and shows itself to us in all ways.

“Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.”

And I thank This Living Light of the Truth so perfect and real. All of this is indeed the Truth, this is so.

Love, Sandy
