The Words of Jesus of Nazareth
The Great Commission
Truly, it is a fire that I have come to bring upon the earth. How I long to see it ablaze! Did you imagine that I had come to bring peace and tranquility? No, I tell you, I have come to spread division! From now on, there will be five in one house, divided as to what they should believe, three against two, and two against three. When you are confronted by the world's hatred, remember how it hated me before your time. And when they persecute you in one place, move on to the next. You will not have reached all the peoples of the world before the Messiah returns. If a city refuses to accept you or heed your message, shake the dust of that city from your feet as you depart. In the final day of judgment, it will have been better to be from the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than from such a place.

Abba, Father, Lord God, grateful and aware; learning how to keep a thankful and humble mind and heart in all things, in all times, in whatever way I maybe passing through for I know the feeling of walking in the Words of Jesus by the Spirit and the closeness I feel to You. Ready and expecting Him to convict me and when needed bring me back to the foot of the Cross in His presence whether by leaving my gift at the altar to go and reconcile with those I have an issue with, or by shaking the dust from my feet as I move on in the Spirit with faith, hope and in love. This realization that I have come to know through feeling the presence and oneness with You in Jesus by the Spirit is not easy or always in the moment I am in, but I always ask, pray and seek to keep it with me and bring it back to each moment with me. Help me Jesus to always find Your hand to grasp onto when I cannot see the way. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

If Hope goes it alone, it ought to be called presumption, which is the highway to ruin.

Philippians 1:1-11<http://www.ewtn.com/vbible/search.asp?abbr=Phil&ch=1&bv1=1&ev1=11>
6 And I am sure that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 9 And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve what is excellent, and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruits of righteousness which come through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:
The Diamond in Your Pocket: Discovering Your True Radiance<http://www.audible.com/adbl/site/products/ProductDetail.jsp?productID=BK_TRUE_000250&BV_UseBVCookie=Yes> unabridged By Gangaji Narrated by Gangaji – The first major book release from Gangaji, describes our never-ending search to find fulfillment, which, paradoxically, is already present if we will only stop long enough to discover its true source. "I have discovered that it is actually impossible to find happiness," Gangaji explains. "As long as you are seeking to find happiness somewhere, you are overlooking where happiness is…in your true nature."
