What Would Jesus Do Today?

Ask yourself,
what would Jesus do today?

This is a question to ask yourself if you consider yourself a Christian.

When I started this article, I was directed to address it to the American Evangelical Church, because of the moral and political crisis that is facing that group in this moment of history.

The more I meditated and prayed on this time in the world; I realized that the problems being faced by the world today are being experienced around the world, in every geopolitical environment because they are the spiritual challenge facing humanity right now.

It Is A Time Of Crisis

Across the planet, throughout the Country, throughout the church, people are being called to make decisions about what is wrong, and what is right, what is not moral and what is moral.

It is a time of crisis, indeed in the United States of America, yet, when I take a more realistic and global look at this moment in the evolution of human life and consciousness, the decisions and choices are being played out on a world stage and apply to all nations.

When I was first directed in my meditation to write this message, I must admit I resisted it. I suggested the spiritual insights and guidance would reach the evangelical community better through ministers who focus on serving this group. They are well known and would undoubtedly be listened to better than I, and although a Christian I am not of the evangelical tribe.

As I argued and resisted with myself internally, I was then reminded that I often pray “here I am Lord, use me.” I was being asked to honor my word. The Lord was asking to use me. Would I turn my back in disobedience, or was I a woman of my word?

So, prayerfully and meditatively I opened my mind, my heart, and my Soul to listen to the message I was being called to share. My argument that I was not worthy was countered by the reminder that those called to deliver a message from God often felt unworthy. My Biblical knowledge flashed through a myriad of stories of the dire and disastrous consequences of those called to deliver a message from God, and the results when they tried to flee or disobey God’s call.

Chastised and committed to obedience in my meditation, I picked up my proverbial pen (although, it is a computer) re-entered a prayerful and receptive meditative state and began to record the thoughts and impressions being sent through me to this community.

What Would Jesus Do?

I was reminded that among Evangelical Christians many strive to live their faith by asking themselves the question, “What would Jesus do?” This was the question I was guided to ask in this letter.

It is abundantly clear that asking that question is an excellent way to consider the many life choices we are called upon to make.

As I continued to ponder and consider the direction, I realized that the value and import of this question were broader than just one country or only one church.

However, the need for this article to be sent to and directed to Evangelical Christians is clear.

If you are an Evangelical Christian, or if you know Evangelical Christians I ask your help in sending this article to that group, for that was my initial instruction and purpose for writing this article.

As I continued to pray and meditate on this question “What would Jesus Do?” my thoughts expanded. In the history of humanity, the choices Jesus made were so powerful and profound that over two thousand years later we are in awe of what he taught and demonstrated in His life and more amazingly in His death and sacrifice.

To make your life and moral choices by the guidance of the question “What would Jesus Do” can be a tough moral standard to follow. His path was not an easy path, and choosing what is right over what is wrong may never be the easy way.

Human nature and being human is vulnerable to pride. Self-righteousness and assurance of moral superiority are sins we must all consider when we make a moral choice.

To take a stand for right action in life, especially if you consider “what Jesus would do” requires that you answer how Love is served, how harmlessness and compassion are demonstrated.

With that in mind, I am reminded of the parable Jesus told as guidance for following Him.

The parable in Matthew 25:40 Jesus said:

The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ (New International Bible Version)

Now I believe that of all the lessons that Jesus taught and all of the ways he guided those who say they follow Him, there is no better guide for our moral decision to determine what you should do, than those words. So, I ask you to consider the moral and political choices of today’s world and challenges by examining the question of “what would Jesus do?”

What would Jesus do about . . . immigration? Would he close the borders to refugees? Would he deport the DACA young people and deprive them the opportunity to live their lives and fulfill their Soul purpose because they are of a different culture?

Would Jesus deprive children of Health Care because their parents are poor? Would he deprive the disabled of Medicare? Would He defund Health insurance supplements for working families in need?

What would Jesus do about the Homeless, especially Homeless and Disabled Veterans?

Would Jesus eliminate funding for breakfast for school-age children or meals for seniors?

Would he punish addiction by profitable prisons, or might he support treatment and rehabilitation?

“What would Jesus do?” is a question I invite all of you to consider in light of the many issues and challenges coming before the American people and Evangelical Christians in these troubling times.

There is in our world and in our society a battle for the Soul of America. If America is to be a Christian nation as I believe the Evangelical Christian Church desires, then we must behave in a way that is congruent with the teachings of Matthew 25:40, or risk being rejected by the King as the parable teaches.

Asking the question “What would Jesus do today?” is a call of conscience to not only the Evangelical Church but to the Catholic Church and every denomination that identifies as Christian.

Many countries have made these decisions, yet I write especially to the United States of America today because she is in a battle for the Soul of American over the forces of greed.

Make A Choice & Take A Stand

If you want America to be a Christian Nation, then you must in your political life take a stand.

The forces of greed and selfishness are strong. Asking yourself “what would Jesus do?” will help you consider what you can do to solve many of these social and societal issues. What are you funding to support and help in the world? Does it reflect what Jesus would do, or does it support the forces of selfishness and greed?

These are the questions every citizen who identifies themselves as a Christian are being called to consider. It is not easy to follow Christ. Jesus was an example that we all fall short of achieving. As I pen these words, I remember that in every Christian variation is the creed and affirmation that Christ will come again.

The promise, the hope and the belief of the reappearance of the Christ cross all the divisions in the Christian faith. We are told of His coming, “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Matthew 24:36.

We, as Christians are charged to live every day prepared for His coming. Certainly, looking at the choices and changes in the world today, the world may well be preparing for that moment. Are you?

Are the causes you are supporting today compatible with you being more than a Sunday morning Christian? Are you living your life and making your political decisions based on the guidance of the question, “What would Jesus Do?”

Are you making the choices as if your Lord himself were one of the disenfranchised, needy and poor? Do you see Jesus in the face of every person? Are you following His commandment, indeed His only commandment to Love, but to your neighbor as yourself?

These are the questions I was guided to place before you as a member of the Christian movement. This is the message I was directed to offer to you from my morning prayers and meditations.

There are significant decisions before you in our modern world, in our country, America and indeed in every country across the planet.

We need to decide who and what defines us as a culture, as a society. I invite you and encourage you to take direction and guidance of your faith as you ask yourself and then answer, “What would Jesus Do Today?”

The Christ in me greets the Christ in you with the ancient greeting “The Peace of the Lord be with you.”
– Genevieve Gerard

Before I close this article and my own prayerful meditations I am guided to offer you a prayer to support you in your desire to follow the teachings of Jesus. This is a prayer to support you as you strive to walk your talk, to demonstrate to the world what Jesus would do.

Lord, I Want To Be Like Jesus Prayer

Let Us Pray

Beloved Lord,

I humbly ask that you come to me and guide me in the choices I make today. Lord, I want to be like Jesus in my heart and in my life.

I open my heart to the power of the Holy Spirit that I may find the strength to Love my neighbor as myself.

As I invite the Love of the Christ into my heart compassion fills me. In the face of every stranger let me see the face of Jesus. Let every act of kindness be of service to you my beloved Lord. So, you instructed us, and so I strive to be more like you today.

I know I may fall short of being able to accomplish this, so I surrender to the Love of the Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit to fill me and infuse me so that I may be an active demonstration of what Jesus would do.

As I offer myself to this work and service, I ask that not my will but thine be done, through me.

Help me to consider harmlessness as I consider the plight of others. Please guide my thoughts and words. Grant me the strength to stand up for what my heart and Love tell me are right action in this world of sorrow and need.

Lord empower me to see your face in everyone I see that I may express my gratitude to you for your sacrifice by my own service to those you called “the least of these my brethren.”

Help me remember that my service to the hungry and sick, the refugees and prisoners, the addicts and alcoholics is my service to You.

Let me be a living example of Your life, Your Love and Your Grace. Let me be a source of good in the world.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray.

Amen

The Blessing of Love on all that you do!

Genevieve

To The Least of These My Brethren

Genevieve Gerard

To The Least of These My Brethren

While in my heart Celebrating the Canonization and Sainthood of Mother Teresa, now Saint Teresa by Pope Francis, I was listening to a video about her life where she held up the hand of her guest and counted off the five words “You did it (un)to me.”

I was touched that as we look at her life, her strength and her service, she was motivated and driven that every act of kindness, every service she performed in the “black hole of Calcutta” where she worked to aid the poorest of the poor; those whose lives were discarded was an act of Love that she performed to the least of these “my brethren” because she saw in them the Divine Light.

I had never heard that story before.

I had written the article below recently about living a life in service to others by seeing in them, “inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me,” as instructed by Jesus (in the King James Bible version.)

Realizing that Saint Teresa of Calcutta, known for most of my life as Mother Teresa lived by those five words (You, Did, It, To, Me as a way to explain the five gospels) demonstrates how powerful those five words can be.

The story I share here, about my grandmother will hopefully demonstrate alone with Saint Teresa’s canonization that this instruction by Jesus was not an impossible task, but rather a way we can each decide to walk the world in Love, service, and fellowship with one another.

Here is a shorter video I found with Mother Teresa explaining the
5 Finger Prayer:

Let her Love and her service inspire people around the world to realize that what she did in her life each and every one of us can do.

Although we may never be declared a Saint we can follow the teachings of these five words of Jesus and the marvelous example of the life and work of Saint Teresa. We can live a meaningful life, a blessed life and be a blessing to those we encounter on our journey through life.

Some of us may feel the tasks ahead are beyond us. Indeed, we are told that Mother Teresa felt the vast poverty she was sent by her convent to minister to was beyond her, but in her daily walk with Christ as a demonstration of Love, she became a beacon of Light for the entire world.

Parables have been a method of spiritual teachers throughout the ages. Much like the tradition of a Zen Koan, a parable is a story for you to consider and ponder the deeper truth and lesson being offered. The lesson of a parable must be pondered in your heart as it is considered in your mind. Ponder on this.

The guidance of a parable is revealed through your inner wisdom through a sense of knowing and what has the resonance of a ring of truth to it. Often, it is the very pondering of what the teacher meant that gives the greatest spiritual insight.

The Bible phrase above found in Matthew 25:40 is a parable. In the simple phrase “Yeah though you have done it for the least of these my brethren” is a profound life guidance statement that is often ignored by those who say they follow Jesus. This little line in this simple parable ignites many questions that are worthy of pondering and considering.

In my life, I was blessed by a wonderful grandmother who had given this passage enough gravitas and consideration that it guided her whole life. I cannot remember and count all of the unwed mothers who migrated through my grandmother’s home over the years. The young women who were often disowned or cast out by their families found a haven in my grandmother’s home.

One by one she saw the woman through their pregnancy and birth then helped them find honorable and respectable men who would marry them and become a father to their child. As a child observing this, I do not know the details of how she managed to accomplish this task.

Mostly, I remember the often bittersweet joy of the young woman moving on to a better life that was mixed with my grandmother missing the baby who had been born into this situation.

Likewise, my grandmother had a neighbor who had transferred the deed to her home to her son so that when she passed on he would not have to pay inheritance tax. He then immediately sold the house out from under her, thus rendering the woman homeless. The result was my grandmother took her in. They were not friends, only neighbors. In fact, they never even addressed one another by their first names. I only knew this resident in my grandmother’s home as Mrs. Malloy.

My grandmother housed and cared for Mrs. Malloy for many years until caring for her became beyond my grandmother’s health abilities. She then found a home that could provide the care, Mrs. Malloy, now needed. She then visited her weekly until Mrs. Malloy passed.

When as a child I would question the reasoning behind my Grandmother’s generosity she explained it through this biblical passage. In her mind and heart, each of these people who had found themselves in unfortunate circumstances was cared for as if they were Jesus knocking on the door of her heart. She welcomed them and treated them as if they were Him.

This extraordinary example of living that biblical passage has had a profound influence in my life and is one which I have pondered throughout my life. What I have come to understand and realize is that this is a complex lesson. The answers are not simple.

A whole myriad of factors must be considered that are related to issues of personal responsibility. There are life lessons to be learned from every situation that is not yours or mine to disrupt through charity.

One of the clearest of these lessons is the concept of seeing the Divine spark within each person that led Jesus to say in this parable “I was sick, and you cared for me; I was in prison, and you visited me; I was hungry, and you fed me.” We find this Divine spark within those who are even the “least of these my brethren.”

It is in serving and caring for others with Love, while still empowering them to co-create in their own life the fulfillment of their dreams and desires, which you can best be of service.

The respect and honor you give to even the least of these the brethren of the Christ, and the least of these your brethren a demonstration of how brotherhood works. It is through the brotherhood of men and sisterhood among woman that you best acknowledge the Divine spark that is within each of us. This acknowledgment is captured in the phrase of the ancient greeting of “Namaste – The Divine spark in me honors and recognizes the Divine spark in you.”

In this way we are all brothers and sisters, we are all the children of God. We are One Humanity.

None of us is an island, our separateness and separation are an illusion. We cannot hurt one another without hurting ourselves. Likewise, when we help and serve another, we help ourselves. This connection is real no matter how much we may strive to think in selfish and separate ways.

Deep in your heart and more importantly deep in your Soul this truth is known. No matter how individual life may seem, there is a unity of connection we all have with one another.

The biblical phrase that guided so much of my Grandmother’s life and service was “Yeah though you have done it unto the least of these my brethren you have done it unto me.” For my grandmother, every unwed mother who traveled through her care and her homeless neighbor were all part of her expression of love and service to the Christ.

This living example of the active principle of love had a profound influence on my life that guides my life situations today. I am so grateful that this loving woman was in my life. Her example and love have been a constant source of strength in my life journey.

I am eternally grateful for the blessing of her presence in my life and her tireless example of what love and service mean.

Although I have known many wonderful spiritual teachers throughout my life, my grandmother living her life by that simple phrase from the book of Matthew 25:40 was more of an example of following the teachings of Jesus than the many sermons I have heard in my life.

She truly “walked her talk,” and I was so blessed by the opportunity to observe someone who “walked their talk” in my formative years. Her living expression of Love and Grace has been ongoing support (even though her body has passed on) and I am grateful for the blessing of her example and her love in my life.

In all of her expressions of Love and Service, to the various unwed mothers who cycled through her home, I recall a complete lack of judgment toward the woman she brought under her protection. She opened her heart and her home to help them get their life back on track, so a mistake was not the definition of their future.

Her demonstration of grace and her example of forgiveness and especially self-forgiveness have been an example of what forgiveness means and the unconditional nature of love.

For my Grandmother, it was Christ that she served and Christ who knocked on the door to her heart and Christ she housed and cared for when she gave comfort and shelter to those in need. I can only marvel at what a beautiful demonstration of love her life was for with gratitude in my heart for having been blessed by the love and support of such an amazing disciple of Christ.

I am blessed to share her story with you with love and invite you to open your heart and Do It Unto Me.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Be the Change You Want to See

Genevieve Gerard

Be the Change You Want to See in the World

The new day dawns.

Once again I am reminded that the Light is victorious. This world gives us that reminder every day.

For me the transition from darkness into light every morning is one that brings joy and hope into my heart.

Yet, as I enjoy and appreciate the blessing of peace, love and joy that comes as the prequel to my morning meditations I am aware that for many the peace of mind and spirit that I enjoy is only a dream.

As I began my morning meditation with the question of what I can teach and demonstrate that will help and serve those who read my words this week, I became aware of how fear limits so many lives.

Recent geopolitical events, the Presidential impeachment hearings of Donald Trump, the threat of Countries being invaded, bombings and multiple acts of terrorism across the planet have raised the fear threshold.

As I write these words the logical part of my mind argues that the world has long been plagued by both wars and rumors of wars. Certainly in my lifetime I cannot remember a time of peace in the world.

It seems that new words are used to describe the “not peace” experience of life on the planet that deprives people of the peace that is so deeply desired.

Although in my life I spent great effort working for peace, being both an advocate and activist for peace, the only thing I could ever really achieve was inner peace, the peace I enjoyed in my morning’s meditations. Sadly, the peace in my heart and mind is not the peace in the world.

How Can Peace Be Achieved?

What can I do and what can you do to create peace?

As I pondered on this awareness a quote that Mahatma Gandhi made during his epic fight to end apartheid came to my mind. He said:

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
– Mahatma Gandhi

As he fought against the evil of apartheid you can observe in his life and his writings something that is very important:

Evil cannot be overcome by using the tools of evil.
– Genevieve Gerard

Evil has a way of taking the forces of Light and converting them and perverting them to serve its purpose. Fear mongering, hate and anger can be dressed up by what is evil in the world to justify and encourage greater evil. Revenge and retribution long used, draped in patriotism and nationalism serve to perpetuate war and stimulate hatred.

Love Is Stronger Than Hate

Gandhi, in the midst of his life’s struggle for equality, and liberty realized, much like Martin Luther King did, that love was where the power is.

Recently, reactions to a variety of global acts have increased people’s fears once again. And fear seems to quickly be the handmaiden to hate. The well of man’s inhumanity to their fellow man seems to never run dry. If when you look at another who believes differently or dresses differently you focus upon what is different it is easy to create a belief in separateness. Yet, that separateness is an illusion. That sense of separateness is used to create fear and from that fear comes violence. That fear stimulates hatred and for some justifies acts of evil.

If when you look at someone you realize we are all more alike than different then the unity of the human experience stimulates compassion. Love is ultimately stronger than hate. The desire for peace can be a common denominator in our human experience.

Transcending fear is a part of the path to enlightened awareness. Learning to Love is what our spiritual journey is about. As Light by its very nature ends the darkness, so love ends hatred.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love
will have the final word.
– Martin Luther King, Jr.

Be The Change You Want To See

Ultimately, you can choose to be the change you want to see in the world.

To bring love into the world you must love. To bring peace into the world you must be peaceful.

At times despite your best efforts you may not be able to achieve peace of mind. At times even when you strive to love unconditionally you may realize that your needs and expectations have more influence than you desire.

Compassion for others and compassion for yourself are very important. Forgiveness of yourself and forgiveness of others is a grace you can claim as you acknowledge that you are a work in progress.

Just to strive to be the change you want to see in the world is already a significant choice.

You are not perfect and fortunately you don’t have to be perfect but each time and circumstance in your life that you demonstrate unconditional love you have brought love into the world.

Each time you have forgiven, even what seems to be unforgivable, you are an instrument of grace and compassion.

Each time you conquer anger or the ravages of hate you are joining in bringing in the Light to dispel the darkness. Each time you are able to bring peace to your heart and peace to your mind is a victory.

The more life situations where you are kind, loving and treat others the way you wish to be treated you are an instrument of good in the world.

Do To Others What You Want Them To Do To You

Since the ancient times of Babylon when the code of Hammurabi was first written, a code of right relationship was created.

In many human religions, human cultures, and animal kingdoms it is believed that one should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself. Today we know this as “The Golden Rule.”

The “Golden Rule” has been attributed to Jesus of Nazareth, who used it to summarize the Torah:

Do to others what you want them to do to you. This is the meaning of the law of Moses and the teaching of the prophets.
– Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 7:12)

It is such a simple concept, yet as I often say, “simple is not easy.” So much of what is wrong in the world would be eliminated if everyone followed that simple Golden Rule.

If you are considering how you can be the change you want to see in the world this simple golden rule is a good place to start. The Golden Rule is found in almost every religion and affirms the unity of the human experience in a way that acknowledges the principles of brotherhood of all humankind.

Imagine for a minute what the world would be like if everyone everywhere did only to others what they wish for themselves. Harmlessness, one of the most important parts of Right Relationships is inherent in the Golden Rule (checkout my article about the Golden Rule.) Right speech is also included.

Loftier and profound concepts such as love, forgiveness, and kindness are enjoined by this way of being. World peace is the logical conclusion. It seems that to fall back to this very ancient code of conduct creates the change that the world needs today.

Loving unconditionally and forgiveness may not be that easy. However, to treat someone in any interaction in life the way that you wish to be treated is eminently understandable. By the very application of this way of relating you are affirming unity with all of humanity.

So, today I encourage you to be the change you want to see by actively treating all who cross your path the way you wish to be treated. To do so is to be an agent for Light in the world.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Open Your Heart To Love

Genevieve Gerard

Open Your Heart To Love

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

In this great university that we call life, there is perhaps no more important lesson we receive than learning to love.

Love manifests in our lives in so many different forms and circumstances that it is an ongoing opportunity to explore, experiment and express. If we open our heart and deeply consider what we have been learning in life that has given us the most joy and the most challenges, we can see that love is a predominant theme.

The great philosophers of old, most particularly Plato, defined love in three basic categories, that of Agape, how God loves us or how we are directed to love God; Philos, or love of friends and others; and the all important Eros, erotic or sexual love. And of course, the love of parents and children and family seems to be another important category.

Indeed, within these three or four very diverse categories that define love is enough lessons and life experiences to fuel millions of books, thousands of films and television scripts, and a seemingly endless stream of talk shows on media outlets around the world.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
~ Khalil Gibran

There is perhaps no greater desire in the human heart than that of both giving and receiving love. Of course, as with so many dynamics of our all too human consciousness, we seem to feel that it is better to receive than to give. But if we explore the experience of love, dispassionately and deeply, we may find that we receive as much if not more love by giving rather than receiving it.

This may explain the teaching of Jesus when he said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Love, and lessons about Love are without question exalted in the life and teachings of the Christ.

When we think of the span of our years and focus on the times we have loved and the ways we have loved, we may realize that those times and events where we gave love unconditionally created such joy that we treasure the experience throughout our life. If we hold those experiences in our hearts and consider the power of those times to guide and transform our lives, we will begin to understand more of the dynamics of this great life lesson called love.

An honest review of our life will reveal to us that the times we have succeeded beyond our expectations in giving love have yielded rich dynamics to our experience of living. Likewise, those times when we have failed, on either side of the experience of love, to either give or receive, have resulted in profound heart-wrenching pain and sorrow.

Contained within the lessons of love is a microcosm of the many consciousness shifts we need to make to live a life of joy. We truly do need to be aware of the benefit of mastering this great lesson of life. Love is best learned in the act of letting ourselves give love and equally important, letting ourselves receive love. Ponder on this!

If we open our hearts to give love, we are immediately transported into the joy and blessings of love.
~ Genevieve Gerard

Loving is an experience that is immediately reinforced by expanding and enhancing our life experience.

Therefore, to learn about love we need only to give love as fully and completely as we can and to accept all that love offers to our life. It is profoundly simple, but strangely, it is often not easy.

Opening to love opens us to so much of what is the very best of life that making a commitment to love is a powerful portal to the gifts of awareness and joy. I encourage you to open your heart to love and embrace this lesson as a great adventurer and explorer of life.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Invoking Healing Miracles

Invoking Healing Miracles Today

Pondering how miracles happen and considering the next subject for my ongoing series on Healing, I realize that healing, either for oneself or a loved one, is the most common reason a miracle is requested.

The synchronicity of this thought motivates and focuses my meditations to explore creating healing miracles.

Understanding the dynamics of what must take place to create a true life-transforming healing miracle is important because within that dynamic we see without any hesitation the most practical and profound aspect of spirituality. A miracle, especially a miraculous healing experience, is where the rubber meets the road in the dual aspect of being both a human being and a spiritual being.

You Can Be a Co-Creator in Your Life

Miracles can teach and demonstrate to us that as you live your life, you are also the co-creator of your life. This is one of the great mysteries of life. It is a concept that is both amazingly empowering and awesomely threatening.

The part of this that is uncomfortable is the responsibility that comes with this understanding. In the process of becoming a co-creator in your life adventure, thousands of questions may come to mind. Your mind chatter may begin to argue and reject the concept that you would create any of the problems and challenges that you face.

It is, of course, a concept that may not be easy to grasp. You might reject the idea completely because it seems unfathomable that you would create problems for yourself and most certainly illness and suffering. It is within this mysterious concept about the nature of reality that the real power of miracles exists.

It is certainly easier to go through life believing yourself to be a victim of happenstance. You can blame others for anything bad that happens to you, or you can even ultimately blame God, as many do. You can even blame luck or karma, placing responsibility on anybody or anything but yourself. Yet to be and become the powerful, amazing, being you were created to be when God chose to create humankind in His image, this concept deserves consideration.

If you are a person of faith, you may bruise God’s ears with your prayers and petitions for what you think you want or need. You may call upon the angels and the whole congregation of saints to intercede on your behalf. Yet with all of this, you are still not stepping into the role of a child of God who is the Son of Man. It is in this mysterious, miraculous concept of co-creating with God that you are empowered beyond your current understanding.

Being in this co-creator role is being all that you were created to become as a partner with God in the experience of living. It is in this co-creator concept that Jesus taught, when after his great healing miracles he proclaimed, “I and the Father are One.” The absolute bliss that is inherent in that affirmation opens you to a new understanding of miracles. Ponder on this!

To accept that you are both able to influence your life and by extension, the life of others, requires some deeper openness and understanding of both the miracle of life and how you can be aligned with the Divine and an instrument for Divine blessings to others.

Universal Laws & Principals

The role of claiming your co-creator part with the Creator requires taking on a level of responsibility that may be beyond what you are willing to accept. Nevertheless, it is in that responsibility that you can gain a deeper understanding of the Laws of the Universe, transform your life and empower the service you can be to your fellow man.

Now, what is fascinating, and in relationship to the concept of miracles and healing, is to realize that there are universal laws and principles in place, and these are completely impersonal. You can use them or deny them. They are at work both when consciously used and equally at work when you are completely unconscious of them. It seems that the more you can work with the Laws of the Universe consciously in your life, the more you are coming into the fullness of what you were created to be.

In a miracle, Universal Laws are not circumvented but rather exalted. Amazingly, the desire for miracles and the need for healing in life motivate people to come to a greater understanding of these laws and principles. Equally amazing is that when you work with and wield these laws and principles consciously, miraculous things happen.

Healing Miracles

I think that it is around the issue of healing miracles that the biggest dichotomy of what is meant by being a co-creator is faced. As perhaps the greatest healer of our time, “John of God” always pointed out, “It is God that heals, not me.” I think any successful healer, physician or energetic healer would acknowledge that a true statement.

I know in my life when I have been blessed to be a part of a miracle, I have been overwhelmed with awe and gratitude to have even been allowed to be a part of a miracle. The energy that has flowed through me is so far beyond what I can usually touch and experience that I am immediately humbled. The grace that flows is beyond my understanding and most certainly my abilities.

It is crystal clear that like John of God I can say without any doubt in full acceptance, it is God that heals. The gift and grace that I have been granted are to have been a part of the event. It is in the absolute bliss of having come to that place of utter surrender of personal will and attachment that you can blend into the activation of Divine Will, and a miracle can occur.

Prayer

Now you might say, “if this is true then all that I need to do is pray for healing.” Certainly, prayer is an effective way to request a miracle. But to think that prayer does not involve activating and utilizing the very principles and Universal laws that empower a miracle is looking at prayer in a very simplistic way and ignoring the powerful dynamics that are activated with prayer.

Prayer works within the universal laws and principles that are causative factors in the creation of miracles. The fact that you don’t have to understand those laws in order to pray does not mean that prayer works outside of the laws, but rather as fulfillment and manifestation of them. For many to pray is easier. But it would be incorrect to ignore the dynamic power of the tools and techniques utilized in prayer.

Prayer works within the universal laws and healing miracles work within universal laws. There is no need to go outside of laws to manifest healing miracles but rather to look deeper at the way the word works to manifest miracles.

Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.
– C. S. Lewis

Bringing your awareness into the mechanics of both miracles and prayer is a way to see the many ways that you can collaborate with God and co-create with God in your life.

Those who actively practice the Law of Attraction in their life often see a miraculous transformation in their material circumstances and the material world. Countless miracle tales demonstrate the universal laws as people learn that “energy follows thought.” This is a real dynamic in the mystery of miracles and the magic of being a co-creator in your life.

Using the power of the invocation of energies that prayer employs, or using the dynamic that energy follows thought, are not different. Consciously working with invocation and intention creates miracles and it could be said that the miraculous property of prayer is in the act of invocation and intention.

The Use of Intention and Invocation

The use of intention and invocation are an active part of the dynamic of our being created in the image of God, as a Son of God. This duality of our human nature is our greatest mystery and our biggest blessing. It is in wielding that dual nature that we are empowered to “do greater things than I have done” as promised and foretold by Jesus (John 14:12.)

It is in studying and considering the miracles of Jesus that we see a demonstration of the miraculous healing power that is available from the dual consciousness of being in this co-creator role with God. Jesus even said regarding his miracles, “Greater things than I have done you shall do.” It was in his energetic merging with the Father that Jesus demonstrated the power and importance of the union with God by going to the Father.

Because He did that, he empowered all of humankind to follow his path. It is in the desire to help and heal with miracles that you can find the motivation to surrender your personal Will to Divine Will. Even if you can yield sufficiently to that Oneness with the Father for only a second of time, that second is held in eternity in the eternal NOW and that act is so very amazingly powerful and profound that a miracle happens.

Oneness with a Higher Power

If you talk to those healers who have participated in healing miracles, the transforming bliss and astounding joy of that moment is what they remember most. And although they may not have been able to sustain that awareness of Oneness with the Father that marked the miracle, it is both affirming and confirming that that pathway exists.

In the energetic release that happens with a miracle, the illusion is cleared and at that moment, “The Son of God creates to bring him joy, sharing the Father’s purpose in his own creation, that his joy be increased and God’s along with his. – A Course on Miracles page 489”

It seems appropriate when you consider the role you are striving to play to facilitate a miracle, that you are as God created you. You are one with him, and He is one with you. That great miracle of your creation and your oneness with the Father is the basis of all of your abilities to live as a co-creator with God.

When you can sufficiently surrender your personal will to Divine Will, you will be blessed to help facilitate and participate in miracles.
– Genevieve Gerard

Before this article concludes, I think it is important to delve deeper into the role of prayer in miracles, for prayer serves as the portal to aligning your personal will with God’s Will. Prayer can help you reach the place where you can open your mind, your heart and your Soul to the Oneness with the Father.

And certainly when the bliss of that union has been touched, and you know to the depth of your Soul that a miracle has happened prayers are the best way to express your overwhelming gratitude for the blessing you have received in healing another.

In the afterglow of a healing miracle, I have found that the expression of joy is spontaneous as is the gratitude of having been blessed with the opportunity to be a part of a Healing Miracle.

What is learned through participating in a healing miracle can fuel your understanding in profound and life-enhancing ways that you can ponder in your meditations and incorporate into your spiritual life.

A Meditation on Merging With Your Soul

Coming into a state of Oneness with the Divine and with Divine Will (the Father aspect of God,) while beyond what you (or I) can typically accomplish from our current awareness, is an exercise of being in Soul consciousness and completely surrendering. What you need to do is open yourself as much as you can to the conscious awareness of your Soul, with the expressed desire and intention to as fully as you can, open to the presence of your Soul in an attitude of complete surrender.

This can be incorporated into an act of healing and service to another. In fact, the intention to create miraculous healing for another helps you bring your consciousness to the highest place you can experience. Then, surrendering your personal will to Divine Will, while aligning as fully as you are able with your Soul, you can open to the touch of your Soul.

Mantras may help with this as you hold your intention to calm your mind and fully open your heart as you invite the light. In the related posts below, I provide links to articles and meditations to help you open to the touch of your Soul while you are in an aspect of surrender to your Divine Will.

Now is a time when the guidance of your Soul is required, and I cannot presume to direct or guide you on the surface beyond the physical words I write today. Know that when you open energetically to your Soul in surrender with intention, you enter what may be uncharted territory for you and what I am sharing is as much as I can share at this time. Ultimately, any meditation you create for yourself should be under the protection and direction of your Soul. Whatever revelations or realizations you will have are uniquely yours.

As always, when you meditate I recommend you have a pen and journal to record the thoughts and impressions you receive.

Because you are striving to reach a more exalted awareness, I also suggest you prepare your space by setting aside time without limitations in a situation where you are assured you will not be interrupted so you can let the experience flow.

Since your Soul is in control, you will only receive what is exactly right for you at this time. Moreover, since your intention for healing is surrender to Divine Will, the healing will be what is exactly right for the one you are striving to heal.

My final instruction before you embark upon this adventure in consciousness is the reminder to express your gratitude for any insights and blessings you receive.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Love Is The Greatest Law

Genevieve Gerard

Love is the Greatest Law

In every spiritual journey, there come questions about how to live your life that is best in keeping with living a conscious and Soul infused life. Of course, humanity has pondered these questions since the dawn of time.

There are in every religion guidelines and rules that were created to help in those decisions of what is right, what is good. These guidelines often direct what is expected in a variety of situations or circumstances.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

In fact, many religion’s Holy Books contain a myriad of rules and regulations, laws that must be followed or at least considered by those who wish to live a spiritual life. However, guiding your life by laws and rules does not guarantee that you do what is right.

Some of these Laws are timeless. Some of the Laws are archaic and seem irrelevant in modern times, needing interpretation even to be understandable. It may be easier to think that all that is required of you to live a spiritual life is to “follow the rules” however, there is a higher calling. That is to let Love be your guiding law.

Although it is helpful to have guidelines for your behavior, sometimes rules can become an obstacle to living a life that brings you into ever-increasing awareness and expression of your Soul. As I write this post and meditate upon what helps or hinders us as human beings, it seems that just following laws takes you away from what living a spiritual life is all about.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF LAWS

When you consider these laws, I find it easiest if you divide laws into different types of laws.

Some laws are rules and guidelines for right human relationships, such as the 10 Commandments, a mix of guidance for what you should do and what you should not do.

There are also ancient laws from the Ageless Wisdom that direct you to live by principles, which are paramount, such as Harmlessness and Right Speech. These are not “Thou Shall or Thou Shalt Not” rules of conduct, but rather ways to lead your life for greater success to bring you into Right Relationship with others.

There are also in life and nature, Laws that govern life that cannot be changed or overruled. They always apply. They are impersonal but can be used to benefit your life when you understand them and grow in consciousness and live in harmony with these laws. A simple example of this would be the Law of Gravity, which can be harnessed to help you relax in meditation. It is always there. It is always true. You can count on it.

Similarly, some universal laws or principles can be harnessed for your benefit like The Law of Attraction or the principle that “Energy Follows Thought.” These can be life enhancing and life transforming but have much broader reach than just living your life by following rules. Understanding these laws can help empower your life.

Nevertheless, there is so much more than just following rules to living a joyful, happy and prosperous life. It is much easier to follow the rules and since you do not blatantly break the rules conclude that you think you have done all that you need to do. The rules, the laws, then take the place of you needing to be in right relationship with God, with your Soul, with your fellow man.

LOVE IS THE GREATEST LAW

These thoughts and considerations between the law and love are not new. St Thomas Aquinas wrote hundreds of years ago extolling the virtue of following, not a series of rules but Love as the guideline for right action and right relationships, between people and between you and God. His teachings have often been summarized into saying, “Love God and do as you please,” or in some translations, “Love God and do as you will.”

Certainly when Jesus was asked to clarify what was most important of the many laws that the Hebrews followed when he walked upon the earth he replied, “You should Love God with all your heart, your mind, and your Soul and you should love your neighbor as yourself.” I have always found this passage in the Bible most instructive for my life.

I have long strived in my spiritual journey to let Love be the guiding principle for how I live. To use Love as the determining factor in relationships with others and with my relationship with God seems a much clearer principle than a legalistic list of rules and laws. Jesus concluded, as St. Augustine later wrote, that Love was the most important guideline for your life, not Law.

To let love be the guide in your life and behavior is a higher standard. When St. Augustine wrote, “Love God and do as you will,” he concluded that if you truly loved God, what you do would honor and respect both God and others. This is also in line with many of the guidelines that are extolled in the Ageless Wisdom of Harmlessness and Right Speech as right action.

As Jesus taught, “God is Love.” When you express Love, you are aligning with the Love that God gives to you and the Love that is the nature of your Soul. It is Love that is the nature of your Soul and Love that is the basis of the “I-Thou” relationship with God that demonstrates the unconditional grace and forgiveness that so bless a spiritual life.

There are those who say that learning to Love is the whole purpose of living. What you learn when you truly love is one of the most valuable things in the universe. It is said that Love is the most powerful force in the universe and it “sets the spheres in motion.” Learning to Love, striving to Love, especially loving unconditionally gives you a truly extraordinary life.

When Love is considered as the way to conduct your life, many positive and significant factors fall into place. This is particularly the case in relationships with others and in what is experienced in your relationship with God and relationship with your Soul. Being in right relationship with God brings with it “The Peace that Passes Understanding.” Being in relationship with your Soul brings Love into your life for Love is the very nature of your Soul. Your Soul loves you completely, understands you completely and as it aligns with your personality, your mind, and your emotions bring to you a sense of well-being that is unique and powerful.

Joy is the spontaneous response to being in right relationship with your Soul. Being guided by Love, and the wisdom of your Soul opens your life to happiness and wonder.

Your Soul is the part of your spiritual anatomy, the spark of Divine Light that has created you, that is eternally One with the Divine. No matter what you do. No matter where you go. Whether you make major failures or mistakes in life or whether you are successful beyond your dreams, this unity of your Soul with God is unlimited by space or time. It is your birthright, and it is your essential nature. And Love is the nature of your Soul and the nature of God. THEY ARE INSEPARABLE.

This basic truth makes Love always the answer, no matter what the question. If you consider this, any ethical decisions you must make in life will be the right choice when you let Love be the guide. To demonstrate Love to others in light of what is truly loving is often a challenge. To make decisions in your life that demonstrate loving yourself is often a challenge. To extend that to showing your Love for God is an even higher standard. It is these considerations that are inherent in Jesus’s two great laws and St. Augustine’s moral shortcut of “Love God and do as you will.”

It is in the consideration of Love as the director of your behavior, that all the laws of any religion are fulfilled. To let Love guide you in your decisions can transform your relationships and can transform your life into a life of greater satisfaction and joy than you can imagine. So many aspects of what is so often frustrating in relationships disappear when you give Love and return Love.

Issues of forgiveness, compassion, and understanding fall naturally into place when Love is applied. If you love God with all of your heart and your Soul and you are loving to others and loving to yourself you are automatically living in agreement with the Ten Commandments, and the rules and codes of conduct created from ancient times into the present.

By doing this you honor the “Golden Rule.” Your actions follow the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom of harmlessness and right speech. Right action and right relationships are automatic when Love guides all that you do.

Let Love be your guide and it will fulfill all the laws.
– Genevieve Gerard

Love is not passive. It is an active and dynamic force for good in the world. It is strong and supported by the Will to Good. To live Love, you are bringing peace and goodwill to the world. It starts a chain of events that makes the world a better place for all.

In today’s often violent and dangerous world, it is good to consider the strength of Love and the power of Goodwill and the “Will to Good.” Love is not weak, and it can stand up for and protect with power, but never hate or negativity. Learning how to live this aspect of Love is vital to a peaceful world. Helping others to not harm themselves or others is a part of loving intelligently with will and wisdom.

LOVE AFFIRMATION

Since “energy follows thought,” it may be helpful to say and use this affirmation when you consider how to relate with another.

“I Love You.”

By Loving You I wish for you
only what is good and beneficial to you.

In all that I am and all that I do with you
I strive to honor and respect who you are.

I know we are different people with different needs.

I love me and strive to honor and respect myself
doing what is good and beneficial for me,
physically, emotionally and mentally.

I Love God and in all that I am and all that I do
I strive to express and demonstrate that Love.

AS YOU USE THIS AFFIRMATION, CONSCIOUSLY CONNECT WITH YOUR SOUL.

Using this affirmation as a guide to determine how Love is best served in any situation in life will be empowering for you. Ponder on this!

Namaste,

Genevieve

Love One Another

Genevieve Gerard

Love One Another

This article is part of my on-going series on love.

It is recorded in the Bible that when Jesus still walked among His disciples He gave this commandment “that you Love one another as I have loved you.” (John 15:12).

That this was given as a commandment is interesting and certainly demonstrates the importance of this instruction since the Bible records Jesus teaching his disciples throughout his time with them, but this is the only time I recall in the Bible that he made his teachings a commandment.

To me that means that this instruction takes on special emphasis. The commandment was not simply to Love One Another, but to Love One Another As I Have Loved You.

That He gave it as a commandment rather than teaching or instruction means that He was speaking this direction from the part of His consciousness as the Son of God. As such, He was instructing His disciples to love one another with a Love that was unconditional and transcendent. He was talking about Divine Love.

He was commanding his disciples to love one another from the consciousness of their Soul, to Love one another as a manifestation of Divine Love.

To even try to fulfill that commandment there are some things that must be understood about both Divine Love and the nature of the Soul. That Jesus was speaking of Divine Love is hinted at just before He gave that commandment. It is recorded that He said, “As the Father has Loved me, so I have Loved you.” (John 15:9). Divine Love is unconditional. Divine Love is eternal; therefore, when you love with Divine Love you love them from your Soul to their Soul.

Of course, to forge a bond of Soul Love, you must come from your Soul. Since your Soul is the part of your whole being that delivers and provides Divine Love in your life consciousness it is essential to open yourself and your awareness to your Soul if you wish to fulfill Jesus’s commandment.

Now, if you have been following my articles and my teachings you will note that coming into conscious awareness of the Presence of your Soul is something about which I write about a lot. It is to strengthen that teaching that I am writing this article.

For me to help you come into conscious awareness of your Soul is my mission in life. It is my purpose for writing these articles and it is my joy. It is a demonstration of the Love of the Christ which I invoke daily in my meditation to flow through me out into the world as an act of service and a manifestation of the Love of my own Soul. It is a way that I can fulfill Jesus’s commandment to Love one another as I have loved you to the very best of my ability.

To help you to come into conscious awareness of your Soul I recommend meditation.

As a start to that meditation I recommend that you set aside some sacred time for meditation. There are many things you can do to “set the stage” for meditation. Just know, there is nothing you must do to start meditating.

A Simple Guided Meditation

It is helpful if you begin your meditation time with intention. It is your intention to meditate rather than just think. This is a subtle but important difference. Intention ignites the process.

It is most effective when you choose to meditate to sit with your spine vertically aligned. That is a point of agreement among almost all who teach meditation. There are many reasons for this posture that I will discuss in future teachings, but this is the preferred posture for meditation.

Then to enter into meditation I suggest that you:

Calm your mind, open your heart, invite the Light. The Light you are inviting is the Light of your Soul.

As you sit quietly and receptively, there are some things you can do to bring the Light of your Soul into your conscious awareness. I have written about these steps in previous articles and encouraged you to read them for the insight, techniques, and instruction they provide (see related links at the end of this article.)

Since the purpose of today’s article and today’s instruction is to help you experience the Love of the Soul and Divine Love I would like to focus this meditation on that.

I encourage you to sit quietly and receptively with your mind calmed as much as you are able and your heart opened to receive the Love of your Soul and God’s Love as fully as you are able. Invite into your awareness the Light of your Soul.

These simple steps followed by quiet, receptive contemplation may be all that you need. I do recommend that you have a journal beside you so that you can record any thoughts and impressions you have received in the silence.

To go deeper into the experience and to focus your meditation on Love, the Love from your Soul to the Soul of another I encourage you to say from your heart, your mind and your Soul this mantra:

I open my heart to the Love of the Christ
and invite it to flow through me
out into the world to all who need it.

I open my life to be an instrument of Divine Love in the world
so that my life and my Love may be a blessing
and a service to others.

For this blessing, I give thanks.”

– Genevieve Gerard

Follow the intoning of this mantra with a meditative time of receptivity and contemplation. I suggest sitting quietly for 15 to 20 minutes in the silence, and then recording any insights, thoughts or impressions you have received.

– GG

When I have done this meditation, I feel my heart filled to overflowing with Divine Love and Transcendent Joy. I realize that by giving I have received such an abundance of Love that my heart has become a chalice overflowing that can touch and bless anyone I am in contact with throughout my day as I return to the challenges and chores of my life.

This blessing fills my day with a sense of peace, purpose, and joy. It is interesting to note that Jesus goes on to say in the Bible when he gives the commandment to “Love one another as I have loved you” in John 15:12 “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” Ponder on this.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Embracing Your Divine Nature

Genevieve Gerard

Embracing God’s Will
and Your Divine Nature

What role in your life do you play vs. what role in your life does God play, and how do these work together in a cohesive and cooperative way?

Long ago philosopher
and spiritual teacher
Saint Augustine said,

Pray as though everything depended on God.
Work as though everything depended on you.

This duality of prayer and our individual efforts speak to the underlying confusion of the role that God plays in our lives and our responsibilities as a human being.

On one hand most feel perfectly comfortable taking an issue or a problem to the Lord in prayer and asking for divine intervention however most truly have a harder time surrendering to his divine guidance and will as called for in the famous words of Jesus when he prayed “not my Will but Thine be done.”

As old and wise as this concept is the concept of surrender is often touted but it seems is woefully misunderstood by those on the spiritual path. Surrender is just one of the many concepts where spiritual teachings and spiritual traditions seem to be in conflict. The conflict seems to arise from our misunderstanding of what we are as human beings, the nature of God or the Divine, and most importantly how these diverse influences work together.

On a deeper level of our misunderstanding is our failure to comprehend how spirit and matter work in the intricate dance of creation and co-creation. There seems a contradiction between a human being as a dual being who possesses the spark of Divine Light and the all too limited and struggling individual we too often consider ourselves to be. This dichotomy, this seeming contradiction has long plagued both thinkers and doers alike.

By clarifying these seemingly contradictory natures we can better understand what roles God and prayer play in our life. We then can open ourselves to a deeper comprehension of what it means to be a child of God and a co-creator of our life. This clarification is important because to recognize and appreciate the intricate inter-relationship of these forces in our lives is both encouraging and empowering.

As we explore this question of what role God and prayer plays in our life we are confronted with teachings that all seem to be true, but sadly seem to be very different from one another. This leads to very different conclusions about what we should do in any given moment of time with our life.

It is easy to embrace one truth to the exclusion or surrender of the other things we know to be true. But in so doing we deprive ourselves of the benefit and blessings of our dual nature as a human being as well as a Divine being… a son of man who is also a child of God.

Thought leaders, spiritual teachers, and the common mythos of society tell us that we are responsible for everything that happens in our life. And I believe that is true. Right alongside that truth is the concept that “energy follows thought.” And that I believe, and it has even been proven by science to be, also true. Woven alongside these truths is something that men and woman of faith have long known – prayer is a powerful force that can have a profound impact on life situations and events.

Ultimately, our desire to call upon the support of the Divine and invoke Divine Will and right action can give us a great peace and a great calmness when we call upon the higher wisdom of God and our Soul to direct the events and circumstances of our life.

Thankfully, we can both strive and surrender when we focus on our dual nature as a child of God and a co-creator with God, powerful beyond our imagining when we are aligned with our Soul purpose and Divine Will.

Amazingly both these truths manifest and are demonstrated over and over again despite our limited understanding of how they work together in the unity of our nature. Our life tends to lead an individual to embrace one element of truth and ignore the other. This is unfortunate because this limitation of our comprehension can deprive us of the power & influence we have over our life as a co-creator and the comfort & support that is available to us as a child of God. We can experience the sweet support of surrendering to the wisdom of our Soul and God and still use all of the powers of positive thought to manifest the life that we envision and desire.

The motivation, influence, and mastery that results when you take responsibility for your co-creator role in life is powerful, profound and inspiring. Likewise, the peace, joy, and comfort that you can experience when you surrender to the Divine (take it to the Lord in prayer and invoke or yield to Divine Will) is a blessing & solace that is also profoundly inspiring. The point that so often is missed as you may vacillate between your human nature and your Divine nature, is that it is not an either-or situation.

It is an answer that can only be really clear when you understand that your real power and ability to resolve these truths lies in your burgeoning awareness of your nature. This nature, as a Soul-integrated and ultimately Soul-infused personality, reveals a mystery, magic and a power that humanity is just beginning to understand and embrace.

This dual state of being is a consciousness advocated in the Ageless Wisdom that has been hinted at but is only now in the fullness of time coming to light in spiritual teachings as a part of an enlightened awareness. As beings of spirit, aligned with and surrendered to the Will of God, and as a physical being having a spiritual experience, you can span these states of co-creator and create.

It may well be a concept you have never previously considered, but, on deeper exploration provides the continuity that clarifies so many of the contradictions that you may have been exploring. When you reframe and reconsider the different roles of your Soul as a spark of Divine Light you may realize that an essential part of your being is that we are all One with Source (God.) You then can think about your personality as the unification & integration of the influences of your physical body, your emotions, and your mind, seeing your whole being as the miracle that your life truly is.

The amazing thing about being a human being is that you are both fully human, driven by your personality needs and desires and you are a beloved child of God, imbued with a spark of unity with God to become in your life co-creators of the life that manifests before you. Therefore, you dance between invoking and surrendering. You can pray and petition with faith. And, at times even bargain with God.

There is something very peaceful about surrendering to God and just having faith that God will guide your steps and direct your life. But God did not create a human being to be a passive being. God gave you the amazing power and potential to work in harmonious cooperation with his creation process. He gave you a mind, the power to love and free will so you could learn to live a life that bridges from animal man to Divine child of the son of God.

As we strive to demonstrate our faith in God, it is important to see how God has demonstrated His faith in us. He has granted us the position of co-creator of our life as a child of God. He has given us the powerful principles of “energy follows thought” to teach us the “Laws of Attraction.”
– Genevieve Gerard

As you learn to live in harmony and understand the direction of your Soul and your Divine nature, you also must learn to direct the creative power of your thoughts, control the power and influence of your fears and direct and redefine your personality cravings while learning the meaning of love.

It is not an easy task you have been given to be a human being and a child of God. However, learning to be a co-creator and take advantage of the sweet support of surrender allows you to manifest this duality in your life and by learning to express this in your everyday life you are in for an exciting and great adventure that will open you to be and become all that you were meant to be, all that you truly are. This is the great quest for the new consciousness and new awareness for a new age.

It is in the integration of your Soul and infusion of your personality with your Soul that the full glory, potential and power of what it means to be a Son of God and a Son of Man here on planet earth, is realized.

Embrace God’s Will and Your Divine Nature!

Namaste,

Genevieve
