Psalm 30
Mother Teresa
knew how to be
God's Hand Maiden.
She shared her love
where others feared to tread.
In the poverty
of those she fed
came God's love in them:
A family of 10 divides a bowl
of rice in half
to share with another family.
Let us love one another
Let us love one another.1
John the Baptist
came before Jesus
announcing His arrival.2
"Jesus is Coming!"
That was years ago.
People still say
"Jesus is Coming!"
I say,
HE IS ALREADY HERE!
He's been here since
LOVE saw fit
to leave a witness of
LOVE'S SELF
IN SPIRIT.3
A Divine Love Triangle
for us
so that we could always
be loved back.
God is loving the world through you and me.
Here's How:
Every time you encourage someone
When you give something you have
When you give someone your time
When you listen
or help
When you sacrifice your needs
for someone else
(Mothers and women you do this
constantly)
Bless all of you for the love you give!
You have what it takes!
Give yourself back
that love by opening
to the love that never stops!
You deserve it.
Give yourself praise
for agape love
the Love of God working through you.
The world needs it so badly.
And I for one am glad you are here.
May many blessings
come to you and your loved ones!
Peace be with you!
Peace be with you!
Amen

2 John 1: 5. But now, dear lady, I ask you, not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but one we have had from the beginning, let us love one another

2Mark 1: 4.John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.5.And people from the whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were going out to him, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.6.Now John was clothed with camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.7.He proclaimed, "The one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals.8.I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
3Luke 17: 20.Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, and he answered, "The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed;21.nor will they say, "Look, here it is!' or "There it is!' For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you."
John 14: 26.But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you.27.Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.28.You heard me say to you, "I am going away, and I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

for agape love

The world needs it so badly"
Amen to that!

Julie - God Bless You too!
Mother Meera also brings that direct presence of God, or whatever we'd like to call it, to people who see her. Amma's style is all lively celebration--she gives big hugs with her blessings, and people dance and sing--and Mother Meera walks in and sits in absolute silence. Even as I make this focus primary in my life, when she walked into a church in Concord to give blessings, I still caught my breath and had the immediate thought, "This is a Holy person." Exactly what the word means.
Blessed, indeed.
