When God says "no"

God's "No" is not a rejection,
It is a redirection...

Divine Gifts

There is no such thing as a problem without a Divine gift hidden within it.  You have these problems because you need the gifts they carry within...

Suffering

"When you die, you graduate. I don't worry about death. Sickness teaches there is joy in everything. Take joy in your sickness because a lot of times God is telling you: 'You may not know it, but you're more blessed than you realized.'"

Wealth

... that letting go makes you wealthier.  Wealth is never measured by what you have, but by what you can give away.  You are rich with money when you can afford to donate.  You are rich with love when you can give love freely.  You are rich with God when you can behold your enemy with compassion.

Magical

On this day, God wants you to know.. that every little part of you is magical. Yes, even the parts that hurt, even the ones that are feeling disease right now.

It's alright to love what is in pain. More than alright, that's exactly where your love is needed the most. So why not touch that part that hurts and smile at it, at yourself through it, and whisper: ''I love you.''

I always forget to love myself.  If I don't love myself, how can I love anyone else or accept that love from someone else?

Slow down and be present

... that when whispers do not get your attention, bricks will fly your way.
Don't speed through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention.  
Slow down and be present.

Relationships

God wants you to know that every relationship rests on three legs:  accepting, supporting and challenging...

That's really it, isn't is?  You want your relationships to be grounded on accepting each other as you are.  On supporting each other through the inevitable ups and downs.  On challenging each other to become more, to grow, to flourish.  Which one of these is the more difficult one for you, and how are you going to practice it in the next 24 hours?

True Self

 God wants you to know... that the way you treat others is the way you treat yourself. True respect comes from self respect.  True love for another comes from self love.  True forgiveness for another comes from self forgiveness...

God   is all  you  need
