THE HIDDEN, THE REAL JESUS: THE ONE I KNOW AND LOVE

God Thoughts The Resurrection

* Author's Note:

These are some notes (including some quotes from authors unknown), that I've been jotting down over the past decade, so am sharing a bit about my faith.

Where (and if) the pronoun 'He' is used for purposes of simplicity, as a concept for God, then please change to what Ultimate Source, the Ground of All Being means to you personally. It's YOUR CHOICE. Enjoy... * * The highest goal of my 'little' life is knowing and experiencing God. KNOW what you want and KNOW God's will for your life!

"I don't believe in God. I know God." - David Rosen, Jungian psycho-analyst * God's greatest gift to us is to find and follow our own truths. ... and my aim in this manuscript is to get the reader into the presence of the living Jesus.

MY BELIEFS, MY TRUTHS:

There is ONE Almighty God, Infinite Spirit, the Ground of All Being...Who is working something good out of our life. Be patient, because patience and resilience build character.

Jesus is the human face of God. The Divine and the human meet perfectly in Jesus.

God responds to desperation. Say: "In times of deep despair, never give up hope. Say to yourself: "This will work out, eventually... for my ultimate good. In time you'll see."

"Hope is the anchor of the soul." "Greatness is what you impart to others." "Greatness is forged in the deep valley of adversity."

"God doesn't protect us so much from the storm; yet God is right there beside us IN the storm." - craig *

Christianity is INTERNAL- not external. It's not religion, but a relationship

You have been born with a capacity to exercise faith.

God's greatest gift to us is to find, then follow our own truths.

God, the mystery of life is a God of another chance.

"God is eternal. I have a living relationship with this God." - Bishop Shelby Spong

All life is deeply inter-connected in ways we cannot imagine. The divine spark is within us. Discover the Christ within you. Salvation is within us.

Jesus's purpose was to seek and save the lost. Justice and human rights for all.

There is a divine purpose for which we are all created. 'Greatness' is what you impart to others. Tap into joy and fulfilment. God has already equipped you with all you need to achieve your wildest dreams.

GROW APPLY the Word - what you learn... to your heart OBSERVE the consequences of your actions.

Be strengthened by the unlimited power of God.

Joyously GIVE THANKS

You will soar high and be all the person God intended you to be.

"God has already equipped you with all you need to achieve your wildest dreams."

"Make your dreams big enough for God to fit in."

************

As I pray I become."

"Greatness is what you impart to others." "Prayer is not asking God for what you want (but thanking). It is the language of the soul." - Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi

Just TRUST and depend on Him. Don't worry; because God looks after the consequences. TRUST and submit (to God's will - this is not passive, but an active leap of faith) DO GOOD BELIEVE IN THE BEST

Hope is the anchor of the soul. * Religion is reaching out to God; whereas with Christianity God reaches out to us. It's a relationship and requires active (and not passive) participation. It's practical. LIVE the faith, LIVE the idealism. Heart changed... it's (a dimension of living) beyond the mind - empowered EXPECT God to bless you.

Say: I am responsible for my attitude - it's my choice.

Make God as BIG as you can possibly conceive. Nothing, absolutely nothing is impossible with God

We are God's "ambassadors". God is reaching out to the world through us!

With God, Christ is always beside us... and the Holy Spirit is within us. A life lived in the spirit of Christ will never die!

"Lord

Give us forgiveness for the past, strength for today and hope for the future."

"The time of singing of the birds has come."

Jesus Christ was the greatest champion who ever lived; however each one of us can be champions too... by winning the greatest race of all, the prize of the life journey.
