...be a light unto the darkness, and curse it not

That's the problem with truth. The truth is relentless. It won't leave you alone. It keeps creeping up on you from every side, showing you what's really so. That can he annoying.

And the reason is found in the first lie - the lie which you hold as the truth about God - that God cannot be trusted; that God's love cannot be depended upon; that God's acceptance of you is conditional; that the ultimate outcome is thus in doubt. For if you cannot depend on God's love to always be there, on whose love can you depend? If God retreats and withdraws when you do not perform properly, will not mere mortals also?

...try to not be disappointed in anything. Know that life is showing up perfectly in every moment. Today's disappointment could be tomorrow's springboard to all that you've ever wanted. In fact, it probably is.

If you can tell the world who you are and what you believe without breaking stride or hesitating, you are happy with yourself.

Heaven-as you call it-is nowhere. Let's just put some space between the w and the h in that word and you'll see that heaven is now...here.

To have a friendship with God, all I really have to do is have a friendship with my Self.
