LEO: “YOUR WISH COMES TRUE WITH THE ONE YOU WANT THE MOST!!” Your February Love Reading

We know that God answers our prayers, but does he always grant our request? We read in 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 where Paul pleaded with the Lord three times to remove his thorn in the flesh and God told him “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” God did answer Paul. However, He did not grant his request.

It’s not just the people in our lives that deserve attention, affection and respect everyday. Consider the things around you. Walk around your house and see how each room feels. Let it feel your warmth and appreciation.Think of the toys and gadgets that surround you!

At each moment in our daily lives, we have an unprecedented opportunity. Generations before us did not have this blessing of spiritual awareness that is available today. Humanity as a whole is awakening, and we are actively participating in this process even if we are not consciously aware of it. One of the simplest and most profound of spiritual teachings asks us to be in the present moment. This is an ancient teaching, and today has even greater meaning.

What is the soul essence of the mad iconoclast—one who is committed to relentless humanness? One who is fiercely independent and compelling to be near simply because of her creative innocence? Who are these people who “never yawn?” Who are these sacred Goddesses and gem-like men drunk on the divine madness of fearless freedom?

I hope I have helped you understand a little more of what it is like to be a Mormon.

As Christians, we have a great responsibility with what we ask for when we Pray. When Jesus taught his disciples how to pray, He only asked for one material thing in the example. He gave them. Give us each day our daily bread. What an awesome request, each day we live in danger and sometimes never know how close we come to death. But I think that this request for each day goes much deeper.

Real life is similar to a game. I call it, “The Game of Life.” We are all born into this game of life. We could call this game, “The Game of War.” Why? Because there are two sides: good and evil. The captains of our game are God and Satan.

Many of us get caught up in the tragedy of our lives. We get full of anger, hatred, resentment, pity and all of the other negative emotions because of what people or life has done to us. We then often seek for ways to comfort our pain, alcohol, drugs, food, pornography, gambling, sex, etc. We find we’re in a cycle of destruction.

In my last article, I wrote about discerning God’s Word when we sometimes quote things and do not really understand if they are true or not. One of these more infamous quotes is, “God helps those who help themselves.” If we are spiritual beings, we must be so careful as not to take things out of context. And if we are living in the natural, human state, we will often times use quotes like this and not fully understand if they are really true or not. It was brought to my attention that God does sometimes help those who help themselves. I want to look at this deeper. Yes, there are those times when He does. Let’s see some examples of this…good and bad. Don’t miss the understanding of God’s Truth.

Imagine, all those beautiful, majestic trees laden with diverse fruits, and these two wanted the ONE tree God had told them they could not have, on penalty of death (every parent knows that the secret to a child’s quicker obedience is to tell the child not to do something, and his/her great desire will then be to want or do the exact opposite).

Spending a life-time of gaining experience and wisdom qualifies us to speak our own truths. Through a series of phases in how the world responds to our sharing of our feelings, however, we are presented with options of sharing that wisdom, hiding our feelings, being rebellious, indifferent, or even hurtful. However, true masters have taught us that we should “Speak our truth, but soothe our words with peace.” Read a descriptive progression leading to mastery wherein both individuality and unity are sought and the gift-giving of expertise and wisdom can be enjoyed.

Jesus lived a life full of compassion and peace. He taught that we could live the same way. Discover the secret to how Jesus lived a life free from worry and fear . Once you know and apply this secret your life will transform.
