“The storm is coming.”

~

I say this to myself over and over

gazing around at my belongings –

distractions –

envisioning all that will be lost.

Wondering

how much pain

will be in store

while pacing anxiously;

wishing it to come

and be over already

so that I can lick my wounds,

and count the cost,

and move on.

~

“The storm is coming!”

~

I sit

to calm myself;

to listen for guidance.

~

“Why do you worry about the storm?” 

is what I hear

once my inner anxieties

dissipate like fog beneath the sun.

“You want the storm to come

and be done,

but if you act rashly

to make it be so …

do you know what you will do?”

~

No.

~

“Then, instead, look around you.

Do you see the beauty here?

Your friends, your home,

your life, your love …

they are here now.

You may not have them

after the storm,

but you have them now.

So enjoy them while you have them

and trust that if you leave the storm

to ME,

I will find the best way through it

for you …

and I will reveal it to you

when the time is right.”

Religion4All is an idea: that every human being (no matter their race, religion, sexuality, social status, lifestyle, or any other possible factor) is LOVED by God; just … as … they are.

We all are loved by God, and NO religion or person has a monopoly on it. Every single person on this planet is loved equally by God … SO many are cut off from God because they are told they don’t belong. God loves everyone … we ALL are beautiful creations … we don’t need to cringe when we hear the words “God”, or “religion”, or their judgments … God LOVES us all!

There is no requirement to change in order to be LOVED by God, or to LOVE God. God is LOVE, and LOVE is God … period. There is no one who God loves more than anyone else … there are only those who choose to LOVE more … to love God more, and consequently then to love each other more. In doing so, we grow closer to God … and know God.

By opening our hearts, and minds to God (free of boundaries like religion, or social trends); by LOVING God … we are exactly where we are meant to be. If we maintain that openness, never allowing any person or event to make us close our hearts, we will be guided by God to be who we are meant to be.

In that space of openness we can then live a life of LOVE, and be guided to where we are meant to be … forever in LOVE.
