Contemplations

Letters to a Disciple from The Lord of Healing Love by Carolyn Burd Christie (extract)

Beloved of My Ancient, Daily Heart
I would bring to you this day
the remembrance
of the Eternal Now,
which has been forever,
is now,
and always will be.
It is the point of contact
with God,
with Life itself.
So it is that you live
in two major dimensions:
The time frame of linear moments
that come and go —
These are your future
and your past, —
And the reality of the Eternal Now,
which is the present
without future or past.
This is the true dimension
of Spirit
of Heaven
of Eternity —
of all Love
and every experience.

Letters to a Disciple from The Lord of Healing Love by Carolyn Burd Christie (extract)

Beloved of My Longing Heart,
Though I know all things
and am One
with all that is,
Yet is there a longing —
a divine and holy longing
For the completion
of the work
I came to do,
The bringing into My Fold
of all the wandering sheep
of My Flock,
which the Father gave Me.
My Flock is all people.
My loving care
is for everyone,
no matter their color,
their size or shape,
or their choice of lifestyle
or the circumstances
in which they live.
All are infinitely and eternally beloved
of My Father — our Father —
and of My Self — our Self.
Yet I know that this longing
for the happiness and safety
of My flock
is an aspect of My Love
which desires
that all may share
My Joy.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see

Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.

Amen.

“Mary Did You Know”
(originally by Mark Lowry (lyrics) and Buddy Greene (melody))

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?

Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo

The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you’re holding is the great “I am”

Governing a large country
is like frying a small fish.
You spoil it with too much poking.
Center your country in the Tao
and evil will have no power.
Not that it isn’t there.
But you’ll be able to step out of its way.

Give evil nothing to oppose
and it will disappear by itself.

Letters to a Disciple from The Lord of Healing Love by Carolyn Burd Christie

Come, Beloved of My Heart,
Come to the fountain and drink,
The fountain of living water
which I Am
within you.

As you are still,
So may you receive
My deepest blessing.
Know that I Am
in you,
And My Love is made manifest
in you,
Quickening your higher self,
The self of you
that is higher
than your senses
or thoughts
or emotions.
Receive Me, My Beloved,
For I come.
I Am.
Know Me in the midst of you.
Only here in the silence
can you know Me
as I Am.
And so it is! Amen.

Beloved of My Heart
This day
have I begotten thee.
Go forth now
in My strength and power,
and minister to all nations.

Letters to a Disciple from The Lord of Healing Love by Carolyn Burd Christie

O. Beloved of My Heart,
You are always in My Will,
For you and I are One.
In the unseen realms,
the realm of God Spirit,
There is no separation;
It is only in the physical
visible world
That you seem to be
separate
from other people
and from things.
