Dear Friends,
As I was sending out Christmas and Hanukkah cards to friends, I noticed PEACE was at the heart of all the messages. I received an email back from one of my Jewish friends who said, “I am praying for the miracle of PEACE in this week of recalling miraculous triumph.”
PEACE seems illusive to us in this world with wars, hatred, bigotry and intolerance heading the front covers of our newspapers, TV and other media. And yet, I believe that is just the wound that is being called to HEAL. Below the wound is peace, love, joy, harmony, wholeness in body, mind and spirit. We may be tossed like waves during a storm at sea, yet underneath is the calm presence of peace in the depth of the ocean.
I am here to remind you the depth of you is PEACE, harmony, love, and compassion, because that depth is GOD within you. God has given you the Gift of Peace so you can BE PEACE in your world. We know how wonderful it feels to be around people who are calm in the middle of an argument or strife. We feel good around those who carry a presence of goodness, peacefulness and compassion. They are expressing the Gift of Peace which is their true nature. We all have Peace as our true nature. GOD Is our true nature and all the qualities and virtues of GOD are ready to manifest in all situations.
Jesus the Christ was called the Prince of Peace. At Christmas, New Thought people celebrate the birth of Christ Consciousness within themselves. Christians believe Jesus was God walking the earth. And Yes, he was, and we are also God walking the earth. Jesus was the LIGHT bringing new thoughts and ideas to the people.
“I AM THE LIGHT. What I do you can do also,” he said.
He was opening the hearts and minds of the people to know their God Selves. The Light and Peace within him, is also in US.
Let us walk this earth as the LIGHT and the countenance of PEACE. We can radiate this energy wherever we go. As we do, others will feel the blessings of our consciousness. We can literally step into a room and the vibrations will change.
One of my favorite Christmas carols is “Oh Holy Night.” The third verse says:
“Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is love and His Gospel is Peace Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother And in His name, all oppression shall cease”
“What I do you can do also.” Time to believe and affirm this is true!
Truly He taught ME to love one another. My Law is Love and My Gospel is Peace. Chains shall I break, for everyone is my brother and sister And in my Christ Consciousness, all oppressions shall cease.
Peacefully, Abigail and Steve
