Missive From God

A Missive From God
by Bern Moses
It was written to be in concert with the basic premise of Deism, that an entity we identify as God created everything that exists, established the orderliness of nature and does not interfere in the course of human events, except as the gift of reason and love is applied in the pursuit of morality. The online Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines Deism as a movement or system of thought advocating natural religion, emphasizing morality, and in the 18th century denying the interference of the Creator with the laws of the universe. I believe that a careful review, examination and application of its premises would achieve a world that a creator would indeed be proud.
A MISSIVE ...
From: God the Source, God the Cause, God the Love of the World
To: Us, Ourselves
Heed what I say. I understand your needs. I hear your cries. I am aware of your pain. I delight in your laughter. I feel your loneliness. I exalt at your joy. You are a miraculous product of My creation and, it's important you understand, I chose to be a part of you.
My concern is that you don't know, you haven't understood, you have been misinformed or you have rejected the obvious. My presence, My peace, My power and My pleasure are all within or available to you. My only assistance to you will come through your acknowledgment, acceptance and utilization of My gifts. You must not call upon Me to fill your needs ... Don't plea with Me to change the established order of things ... Avoid your tendency to depend upon Me for answers. Yet, you must not feel ignored or abandoned by Me, but rather remember that it was My choice to be with you, always.
I've embedded Myself in your spirit. That part of you that is compassion, intellect, intuition and understanding is the evidence of My presence and that I have chosen to depend upon you to accomplish our mission of love. I see someone's need through your eyes, I hear their cries for help with your ears, and can hold them only with your arms and assist or comfort them only with your hands and smile. As you respond to these needs, our love grows and strengthens and will continue to exist forever, enhanced by the essence of you. This is your eternal destiny ... The love you have exhibited and enriched by caring and contributing, melding with My love and the love of all those who have followed suit, combining and continuing to enlighten those who will follow. Surely you've noticed that each new generation evolves to a higher plane in all these facets of life and living.
I'm depending upon you to display and exercise our love, yet am often disappointed when the fear I provided for your protection, seems to dominate your behavior. Certainly, let the fear give you pause, but then embrace it for our sake and proceed to do what you must know I would do.
Perhaps the most frightening thing I see among you is incuriosity. That is the root of evil which accommodates indifference, inertia, ignorance and indolence. Not merely standing still but reverting and devolving, not just not becoming but becoming less.
This is the understanding you must have and transmit to others. I am love, I am within you and all the others. I depend upon all of you. The only way others may ever ultimately understand could depend entirely on you. I'm sorry if it seems that I have placed this burdensome responsibility on you alone, because that's not true. A proportionate amount exists in every human becoming, and the power of it all will only be fully realized when everyone recognizes and celebrates the gift, accepts the authority and assumes the responsibility. So, patiently look for Me in others, regardless of their race, color, creed or sexual orientation, and allow them to see Me in you.
All the disciplines in science, philosophy, and art are on their way to being miraculous as they approach their parameters of knowledge regarding matter and motion. I have secreted nothing. All wisdom, skill and talent is ultimately available to those who continue searching and practicing.
So don't look to Me for solutions, but keep watching for and listening to whatever excellence you find in others, in order to glean from their understanding and experience. Look to them for direction and guidance while at the same time seeking Me and our purposes in them.
Do not cling to myths, righteousness and exclusionary judgments while ignoring the laws of natural orderliness that have existed since the beginning.
Remain alert to every occasion provided to function in My favor. Have the courage to charge in and contribute your best to everything and everyone. Someday you will understand as I have intended, that this is Utopia. This is your Heaven. It was never My Hell, it was always yours, born out of your fear and need to survive.
You have been blessed with the capacity, the chance and the choice to make a difference. Make it count for us ... All of us ... All the time ... Always!
