“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2

Let Go, Let God
“In Richard Bach’s book, Illusions, he tells a story about a group of creatures who spend their lives clinging to the bottom of a river, resisting the current. One creature finally declares, ‘I trust that the current knows where it is going. I shall let go, and let it take me where it will.’
I may find myself resisting circumstances in my life, clinging to my perceived safety nets out of fear of the unknown. When I let go and let God, I accept what appears in my life and allow the flow of Spirit to carry me. I trust that God will take me where I need to go. I release any need to control life’s conditions. I let go with ease and let divine order design my life.”
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6, dailyword.com

A Message from Mother Teresa
His Holiness, The Dalai Lama
“Tenzin Gyatso, who turns eighty-two on the 6th July 2017, is the longest living Dalai Lama to date. His Holiness is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people.
In 1989, he won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to restore peace to Tibet. He is renowned across the world as being a prominent campaigner for compassion and peace. He makes an effort to promote compromise between conflicting ideologies wherever possible and is known as the one of most progressive religious leaders in modern times.
The teachings he offers the modern world are based on humility, kindness and above all, love. He speaks clearly and his lessons are simple. As a modern moral authority, he teaches people to live without judgement and to embrace humanity.
““The purpose of all major religious traditions is not to construct big temples of the outside, but to create temples of goodness and compassion inside, in our hearts.” Dalai Lama

Your Guardian Angels
“You have guardian angels with you right now. These angels are pure beings of Divine light who are entirely trustworthy and who want to help you with every area of your life. The word angel means “messenger of God.” Angels carry messages between the Creator and the created, like Heavenly postal carriers.
We don’t worship or pray to the angels, because we only worship God. Nor do the angels want to be worshipped. As messengers of God, they carry prayers and messages between the Creator and the created (us). If you worry whether you’re connecting with God’s trustworthy angel, or a lower energy, ask God and Archangel Michael to protect you and to provide a barrier . . . so that no one, human or spirit, who is not of God’s pure love can come near to you. Once you ask, this is done.
Angels love everyone unconditionally. They look past the surface and see the godliness within us all. They focus only on our Divinity and potential, and not on our “faults.” So angels aren’t judgmental, and they only bring love into our lives. You’re safe with the angels, and you can totally trust them.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a believer or a skeptic, because the angels believe in you. They see your inner light, they know your true talents, and they understand that you have an important life mission. They want to help you with everything.
You don’t need to have special training, be saintlike, or engage in religious work to commune with the angels. They help everyone who calls upon them, no matter what. The angels’ assistance is free of charge, always available, and there are no “catches” involved.
Those who regularly contact their angels report great improvements in their lives. They feel happier, more peaceful and confident, and less afraid of death or the future. They know that they’re not alone, because they have trustworthy guardians watching over them.” Doreen Virtue’s http://www.angeltherapy.com
Blessed By The Lord
“For I am about to create new heavens and a new earth; the former things shall not be remembered or come to mind.
But be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating; for I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy, and its people as a delight.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; no more shall the sound of weeping be heard in it, or the cry of distress. No more shall there be in it an infant that lives but a few days, or an old person who does not live out a lifetime; for one who dies at a hundred years will be considered a youth, and one who falls short of a hundred will be considered accursed…
For they shall be offspring blessed by the Lord—and their descendants as well. Before they call I will answer, while they are yet speaking, I will hear… says the Lord.” Isaiah 65: 17-20, 23-24, New Revised Standard Version

“I Am Making All Things New”
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throng saying, “See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.”
And the one who was seated on the throne said, “See, I am making all things new.” Revelation 21: 1-5. New Revised Standard Version
