Christmas Eve Message
The child Jesus merely wanted to come in innocence. He did not want or ask for all the attachments, idolatry, and subsequent persecutions.He never asked for that. So, this Christmas, look deep into a child's eyes and know they also just want innocence. Then look into your eyes and acknowledge you are a child of God. Give yourself and all that you see in this gift of Oneness.This Christmas season and all the days that follow, be loving and there shall be love. Be joyful and there shall be joy. Be peaceful and there shall be peace. Be forgiving and there shall be forgiveness. Be merciful and there shall be mercy. Be innocent and there shall be innocence. If you want simplicity in your life it will be simplified. Be inclusive and there shall be inclusion. Be at one with yourself and there shall be oneness in the world.This is a Christmas wish to give to yourself and others. The gifts of:LOVEFirst, love yourself and then you are able to love others unconditionally.JOYCelebrate life joyously and through this joy you are inviting all to also "live" their lives in joy.PEACE For if you do not give peace you are acknowledging there is the possibility for war and for destruction.FORGIVENESS When you are unforgiving the space then is occupied by blame, judgment resulting in separation. Gift the gift of forgiveness without conditions.MERCYWithout mercy, there can only be hatred. Fill your heart until it overflows with compassion, blessing all who cross your path including your enemies.INNOCENCE You are wholly and entirely the children of God.
