A New Day is Unfolding

I wrote this poem at the begining of this year, initially I titled it A New Year is Unfolding then I realized that it really applies to each new day and changed it. It is a reminder to me that each new day is a new begining no matter what it reveals and that God is constantly by my side. It reminds me to constantly challenge my fears and to leartn to trust God and when I do let go of control and trust, miracles can happen and I witness this each day. A new day is unfolding with its endless potential, what will you do with it? What will I?

A New Day is Unfolding

A new day is unfolding with all of its hidden potential and mystery
Will you embrace it and all that it has to offer?
Or will you just sit on the sidelines and watch it pass you by?
Will you rise to its challenges and walk with God by your side?
Or will you hide in fear and confusion?
Will you have the courage to follow your passions and desires
no matter how small or grand?
Or will you convince yourself that you are unworthy of even the smallest triumph?
A new day is unfolding, beckoning you on
Don’t be afraid to step into the unknown for you never walk alone
God is always by your side and also your unseen guides
It is time to look deep within, to heed the voice that calls you on.
It is time to let your light shine.
A new day is unfolding with all of its hidden potential and mystery
Will you have the courage to carry God’s light and love
Into the darkness for others to see?
Will you have the courage to carry God’s light and love into the darkness
So that She may reveal all that is hidden there?
Will you have the courage to show the way and together with your brothers
And sisters reveal a hidden paradise that lies waiting for all to enjoy?
A new day is unfolding beckoning you on
Waiting for you to discover its treasures.
Don’t be afraid to step into the unknown
For you never walk alone.

Lost in the Wilderness and God's Gentleness

Dear God,

Why did you make this so hard? There is an ache deep within my soul crying out to be loved and to love my soulmate and at the same time there is a deep shame and fear preventing me from doing so fully and I don’t understand it! I don’t understand what this pain and shame is about and I don’t understand why I am so afraid to face it!.. Can You help me please? I can’t do this alone and right now I feel so very alone and confused and afraid and I don’t know what to do.

I have tried connecting to this emotion but it feels scary and too painful to face. Will I ever be able to make love with my soulmate again without pain or shame? God, I love him so much it hurts and yet I am not able to show him my love fully but still he loves me, still he wants me, still he holds and comforts me and I feel so very unworthy of his love. What is this soulmate love Father? Have I really been privileged enough to have known this one true love for over thirty years God? Why? I feel so fat and unlovable in this body Father and I don’t understand why he would even want to love me! Why do You love me?

This all feels so confusing and I have nowhere to turn. I wish I could understand! I wish I had the courage and willingness to face the truth of this emotion, but I am weary God, and I have no strength or motivation now – it is late and I am tired, confused and doubting everything! I wish I understood!

Where are You Father when I need You? Am I such a lost and hopeless cause that my voice is so weak and distorted in the wilderness that even You do not hear me? I want to understand but deep within me there is a huge resistance to this truth that I am to afraid to go there. Right now I find that I don’t trust You, I can’t trust You and I don’t understand why this is? Can You help me to understand please? Please God, will You hear my cry? Will You answer me? Will You help me?

I can’t sleep – I can’t feel – what am I left to do? Will You help me please? Help me to have the courage and willingness to face the truth of this emotion! What is the truth Father? Will I ever know it? Will I ever be free of this burden? Will I ever understand?

He lies in our bed, asleep now, is he dreaming of me? Dreaming of the love we once new, the love that now seems to be a faint memory? He is everything I aspire to be – loving, gentle, patient, kind, forgiving, clever, sharp and I can’t believe he is mine, and worse, I can’t believe I am testing him like this! What did I do to deserve his love? Will I ever feel worthy of it?

Please God, can You help me face the truth? Will my guides help me?

This letter to God was a continuation on from the War of the Souls that I have published earlier. It highlights how difficult I find this emotional work at times and how difficult I find it to let go of addictions. I have been working on these emotions for months now, on and off, and still find that there is still much to work through around my soulmate relationship and particularly around sexual abuse and shame. All I can do is to continue to pray to God for the courage and willingness to go into the emotions and when they do begin to surface to allow myself to surrender to them rather than to fight which has been my pattern.

And then when I do have the courage to fully face an emotion and I feel God's Love enter my soul I feel the gentleness of God and I know it is all worthwhile.

God’s Gentleness

Shame rising in waves and crashing over me
Walls, strong and resilient, resisting the waves
Fear, overpowering me, blocking the emotions from flowing free
Grief overflowing, beckoning me into my cave

Falling deeper and deeper into myself
Unlocking the mysteries buried deep within
Grace lifting me up, giving me strength
Unlocking the errors that lie hidden inside

Truth emerging, setting me free
God’s Love filling my soul allowing me
Peace radiating outwards for all to see
God’s gentleness in loving me

Thank You for loving me

Continuing on with the theme of Gatitude I share this poem with you

with love

Linda


Thank You for loving me

Thank You for loving me
For letting me know You are there
I know I don’t always show it
But Your love sets me free

Thank You for loving me
For holding me in your tender care
Sometimes it is a challenge
For me to trust that You really are there

Thank You for loving me
For teaching me everything I need to know
For the perfect ways that Your Laws
always bring me back home to You

Thank You for loving me
Even though I do not yet understand
Just what Your love means
And the power of something so grand

Thank You for loving me
For Your patience, grace and mercy
At times I feel so unworthy
It is hard to comprehend Your majesty

Thank You for loving me
For never giving up on me
At times I feel Your love so powerfully
It seems to overwhelm me.

Thank You for loving me.
Thank You

Gratitude

Something that I sometimes forget to do is to express my gratitude to God for all that She has given to me, for the way She supports me through my struggles and doubts. I am aiming to change this, to make gratitude a large part of each and every day even when I am struggling with resistance to a particular emotion. I hope you find this letter to God of some benefit
love
Linda

Dear God,

I want to thank you for today and for showing me that I can trust You and that You are always there when I need You, even though I may not feel Your presence. But God, I want You to know how confused I feel about Your presence in my life. I don’t understand why it is that sometimes You hear and answer me and why sometimes You don’t seem to notice me? This issue with my health and my weight has been ongoing for so many years and I don’t understand how you could take away the success that I had when it had been so long coming? I know that You want me to know that it is I who took it all away but I am really struggling to understand that.

I want so much to understand why it is that I feel so unworthy and unlovable and I am grateful for the truths that You have shown me so far. But, at times I feel so overwhelmed by the toxic stew of emotions that are brewing within me that I find it difficult to really know that You really are with me. I want to remove the barriers that I keep putting between us. I want to experience our connection more fully.

I want to know what it really is to love and feel loved. I feel so unworthy of Your love and I wonder if I will ever be capable of understanding Your Truth and Your Love? And God, I don’t understand my relationship with John. I so want him and our children to know the joy of a relationship with You and to know what it is to be truly, deeply loved as only You can love us. Please help me to show them the way. Help me to remove the barriers that prevent my connection with You so that I may grow in love and understanding and in so doing show them the way to Your great love and truth.

Father, I am so grateful for the opportunity You have given me this weekend and for the beautiful teachers who are sharing their journey and their love with us this weekend. I still can’t believe that I know Jesus and Mary Magdalene!! I feel so unworthy to be here and yet I know that deep down, at some level, I am worthy of Your love and tender care.

Help me to truly feel that worthiness which is hidden deeply within me. Help me to fully feel and release all of the emotions of error within my soul that prevent me from having a truly deep and satisfying relationship with You.

I want so much to understand myself and to find that little girl again – the one who once knew joy and laughter and courage and love, but I fear that she is so well hidden that I may never find her!

I know that if I can only learn to fully trust in Your love and care that I will eventually find her, but I struggle so much at times and I feel so unworthy of Your love, of anyone’s love. I want to understand every aspect of my life and I want to release all of the barriers that prevent me from knowing, feeling and understanding Your great Love for me and Your Truths. I pray for Your guidance, especially when I stumble in the dark, and I pray for the awareness that I might recognize and learn from my Law of Attraction.

Father, I thank You for Your patience, mercy and understanding and I trust that You know that I give You all the love that I am capable of giving right now.

Would You Know Him if You Saw Him

Last week I had an interesting experience with some of my family. As we were talking about what we were going to be doing for the weekend I was asked my plans and I spoke about going to Murgon for the weekend to the workshop on the God's Way of Love Organization. When asked about the organization and who AJ Miller was I said that he is Jesus and is here to reteach the truths that were lost and or distorted in the first century. I was surprised at the degree of anger that was projected and the fireceness with which some people protect their beliefs. I guess I felt a mixture of saddness and also acceptance as I know it is a fairly way out statement to make, especially to staunch Christians who believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and that no other truths could possibly exist. This reminded me of a poem I wrote early in my acquantance with AJ and when I checked the date I realized that this was in fact the first poem that I wrote. I share it now with you.

Would you know him if you saw him?

He walks amongst us once more
Returned as promised 2000 years ago
Living His life as an example to all
Showing the way back home
Would you know Him if you saw Him?
Would you believe it is Him?
How would you know?

His message is honest and filled with love
His mission the same as before
Listen with your heart and you will know
His wisdom will lead you back home
Would you know Him if you saw Him?
Would you believe it is Him?
How would you know?

Go beyond what you think you know
Challenge everything you have been taught
Listen with your heart and open your Soul
His love and wisdom is there for all who seek
There are no boundaries, no limits
Would you know Him if you saw Him?
Would you believe it is Him?
How would you know?

To be in His presence is to be surrounded by love
And yet His absolute honesty and truth will challenge and frighten you.
He asks nothing of us, yet gives everything of Himself.
Are you ready to release your fears and doubts?
Would you know Him if you saw Him?
Would you believe it is Him?
How would you know?

Love and truth and honesty will be your guide.
