"I am busy, but it  helps the day go faster".  How can we spend "one minute" of our lives doing something that is not fulfilling, inspiring and satisfying?  How can we do something over and over and not see GOD in it?  That is NOT LIVING, THAT IS DYING; OVER AND OVER!   When we do anything "just to get it done", we no longer have Great Expectations, Miracles go unnoticed, and the Journey becomes a "death march".  Are we just "biding our time" waiting for a place called Heaven?  Or is Heaven the relationship, expectation, imagination, inspiration and revelation of GOD IN EVERYTHING?   1 Corinthians 2:9, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man  imagined...".  Could it be that in these quiet conversations with GOD, we experience the JOY OF HEAVEN?  Could it be that HEAVEN IS IN LIVING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD;  IN EVERYTHING WE DO? 

How often do we hear non-Christians quote the Bible and not realize it?  "Love is patient, love is kind" (1 Cor. 13:4).  "I'm flying high, like wings of eagles" (Isaiah 40:31).  "The rich get richer" (James 2:6).  "Laughter is the best medicine" (Proverbs 17:22). And, "No one can serve two masters" (Matthew 6:24).  Is there some common gene in our D.N.A. that draws us to the INTEGRITY and TRUTH OF GOD?   Having experienced all of the Pleasures of the world, is there anything more "cleansing" and "satisfying" than being forgiven and loved?  Do we ALL seek that which is GREATER THAN OURSELVES?  Believers and Un-Believers experience the power and conviction of TRUTH, whether we obey it or not.  HAVE WE EVER NOTICED THAT NON-CHRISTIANS QUOTE THE BIBLE AND DO NOT REALIZE IT?  HAVE WE EVER NOTICED THAT "WE" CHRISTIANS QUOTE THE BIBLE, AND DO NOT REALIZE IT?  NOW ISN'T THAT THE TRUTH OF IT?

The worldly knowledge teaches us "more and more" about "less and less", until we know everything about nothing.  Is that why we attempt to describe our "Spiritual Perceptions and Manifestations" as karma, fate, destiny or the Law of Attraction?  The "Voice" inside us reveals the presence or non-presence of spirits.  Have we "discerned" something to be very bad for us when the world tried to convince us it was good?  Did we listen to the Voice?  Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, against rulers of the darkness, against spiritual wickedness".  This Voice is our "supernatural ability" to determine if a person or circumstance is "OF GOD" or "OF EVIL"; this is gift is of THE HOLY SPIRIT.  THE SPIRIT SPEAKS TO THE SPIRIT, THE HEART SPEAKS TO THE HEART.    

Do we wait for those who have offended us, "to make the wrong, right"?  Do we try to "fix", "rationalize" or "undo" the wrong we have inflicted upon others?  Have we not known the "HOLINESS OF FORGIVING", nor have we known the "HUMBLENESS OF BEING FORGIVEN"?  Why have we prayed that those we have offended will forgive us?  Is it to "ease our conscience", or is it so that they will know the TRUE FREEDOM LOVE IN FORGIVENESS?  Is our Prayer for FORGIVENESS for them, for us or for everyone?  Isaiah 43:25, "I, even I, am HE who blots out your transgressions for MY for MY own sake".   HOW CAN MAN HONOR HIMSELF BY THE HUMILIATION AND GUILT OF OTHERS THROUGH UNFORGIVENESS?  DO WE KNOW THE PERMANENT FREEDOM OF FORGIVENESS?

Prayer is not the language of  our lips; it is the language, the silence of  our heart.  Prayer is not "eloquent lip-homage" or "parrot-like repetition"  where the heart is not emptied of worldly passions.  A "silent thank you" when the heart is emptied of  everything but Love, is a complete and pleasing Prayer.  Silence is, having the ability to speak and yet, uttering no idle words.  In this silence we lose our "worldly selves"; and immediately find our Spiritual  Selves.   Each time we experience the "Recreation",  the "Born Again" Delight of our CREATOR.  1 Timothy 4:5, "for it is made HOLY by the WORD OF GOD and prayer".  WE EXPERIENCE HIS PRESENCE IN PRAYERS FROM THE HEART, EVEN WITHOUT WORDS; THAN WE DO WITH "WORDS WITHOUT HEART".  IF WE COULD EXPERIENCE HIS PRESENCE 24 HOURS A DAY, WE  WOULD NOT HAVE TO "SET ASIDE TIME FOR PRAYER".
