IT'S ALL ABOUT GOD, IT'S NOT ABOUT ME. As soon as we said or thought, ME, it was no longer ALL ABOUT GOD! When we do something GOOD for someone, even when we really had to force ourselves to do it; that's FAITH right, and that pleases GOD, right? FAITH is being in AGREEMENT WITH GOD, anything else is "False Humility", because again, IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT GOD. Philippians 4:7, "...surpasses all understanding..." WE KNOW, AND EVERYONE KNOWS when something is done in LOVE. LOVE, the serenity, tranquility and simplicity of GOD. Today, can we speak, act and Love without saying, I OR ME? THEN MAYBE IT WILL BE ALL ABOUT GOD.

What is the most satisfactory, suitable, desirable and uniquely calm freshness we have ever experienced? Was it humbling and yet renewed? Did it RESTORE us to the sweet fragrance of Love and Purity, where our lives were starting all over again. We were Blessed with A NEW BEGINNING that came in a smile, a hug, the words we never expected to hear; "YOU'RE FORGIVEN". Ephesians 4:31, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted and FORGIVING one another". Spontaneously; anger, insecurity, thoughts of injustice and abuse (whether Real or Imagined) vanish. We areHEALED AND RESTORED THROUGH FORGIVENESS. Do we want the world to change? FORGIVE, AND THE FORGIVEN WILL HEAL.
Do we sit quietly and listen for GOD to speak to us? Do we hear HIM? Or, do we begin to LISTEN WHEN WE SPEAK? Have we ever begun to SPEAK without logic or reason and been enlightened with the answer? Could it be that we have just PRAYED without traditional forms, positions and formality? Maybe when we SPEAK, we hear GOD SPEAKING TO GOD and we LISTEN with trust and conviction. Does our SPEAKING produce FAITH that is not of our own doing? There is no "perhaps" or "maybe" it is THERE, WE HAVE IT, IT IS A GIFT. "...these things delight GOD (Jeremiah 9:24). Could this be living " a constant PRAYER" the Bible talks about that brings us in agreement with GOD? The Voice we hear, the Voice who speaks, IS ONE! THIS IS THE INTIMATE JOY that comes when we LISTEN WHEN WHEN WE SPEAK; WE ARE ONE WITH GOD.
Today, everything is enough! We don't wish anything different, Today, we are called to a JOYFUL MEANINGFUL LIFE. John 10:10, "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly". Today we have NO NEED, TO NEED; Today we have NO WANT, TO WANT; Today we are dwelling in GOD'S PERSONAL FAVOR where JOY IS ABUNDANT. GOD IS ENOUGH, WE ARE ENOUGH; WE HAVE NO NEED, TO NEED; NO WANT TO WANT.
Which way do our thoughts flow with the MOST PLEASURE? Is it "gratification of the senses", or is it the affections of the SPIRIT that gives us the TASTE OF BLISSFUL IMMORTALITY? Romans 8:6, "For the carnally minded is death; but for the SPIRITUALLY minded is life and peace". The command of LOVE cannot be accomplished or fulfilled BY us, BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD, IT IS FULFILLED IN US! WHICH WAY DO OUR THOUGHTS FLOW; THOUGHTS OF GRATEFULNESS, THANKFULNESS AND LOVE, OR GRATIFICATION OF THE SENSES? WHICH WAYS OUR THOUGHTS FLOW, IS WHO WE ARE.
