#THEANSWER

#THEANSWER

One would think after looking at the broken and violent history of humanity we should realize healing cannot come from human efforts alone?

Only the Creator and Lover of all souls has the authority and power to redeem, restore and recreate "Their" creation.

So then what are we to do?!

Surrender and submit to divine LOVE, out of which "They" will "make all things new".  This IS the HOPE which exists even in our broken, violent world.

LOVE will motivate us toward self-sacrifice, humility, mercy, compassion, and grace.  We will cast aside our own selfish wants and desires for the greater good of humanity and in response to divine LOVE as we embrace our own identity as the Beloved.

Many throughout history have discovered and embraced this divine Truth, but it is so counterintuitive to the selfish, greedy, power-hungry ways of the world that only surrender and submission can bring us to it.  It is a holy contradiction that is most often arrived at through our own brokenness and despair ("dark night of the soul").

Do not expect our leaders, religious nor political, to achieve healing and restoration, nor even to guide us in the Way of Love.  The Creator through Their Spirit of LOVE will gather an army of surrendered and submitted ones who will go and do an abundance of small things made great and powerful in LOVE.  This then is how we partner with the Creator and Lover of our souls, of every soul, as They redeem, restore  and recreate, making all things new in heaven and earth.

It is a Great Mystery revealed to the humble, but hidden from the proud.  It is the divine Truth at the heart and core of most of the religions of man.  If we will consider it, it is best revealed and demonstrated in the one called Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ of God.  But I caution you, do not look to the religious or their institutions, including Christianity, to discover this for yourself.  We come to it in Trust that the Spirit will reveal the Truth as we seek first the Kingdom of God.  Yes, Holy Scripture is our guidebook, but we need the Guide to explain and bring revelation to our heart and soul.

When we have come to it, to LOVE, we will simply be present in humility wherever and to whomever.  We will live in simplicity, yet with great Peace and JOY even in the midst of the brokenness.  It begins in our own homes and families, then goes out into our neighborhoods and communities, joining the great army of LOVE throughout the world.  We will give sacrificially out of what we've been given, even the smallest amounts making a positive difference globally as they are multiplied by the Creator through Their Army of LOVE.

Quiet yourself this day, listen to Their voice, "You are the Beloved of divine LOVE, of the Creator and Lover of your very soul."  In this Truth you have and are HOPE in our broken, violent world.  You are powerful beyond worldly measure, you have great authority in LOVE.  Your simple, humble prayers are multiplied exponentially as they are lifted to the heavens.  Your simple, humble, loving presence in the world is made transformative and healing by the Presence of divine LOVE Themselves.

The greatest teaching on peace, the greatest teaching ever in LOVE:

Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ of God - Sermon on the Mount:

Matthew 5The Message (MSG)

You’re Blessed

1-2 When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside. Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed, climbed with him. Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions. This is what he said:
“You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.
“You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.
“You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.
“You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He’s food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat.
“You’re blessed when you care. At the moment of being ‘care-full,’ you find yourselves cared for.
“You’re blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.
“You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.
10 “You’re blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God’s kingdom.
11-12 “Not only that—count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. You can be glad when that happens—give a cheer, even!—for though they don’t like it, I do! And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble.

Salt and Light

13 “Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You’ve lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.
14-16 “Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.
And later this too:

Matthew 5:43-48The Message (MSG)

43-47 “You’re familiar with the old written law, ‘Love your friend,’ and its unwritten companion, ‘Hate your enemy.’ I’m challenging that. I’m telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that.
48 “In a word, what I’m saying is, Grow up. You’re kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you.”

"Love one another."
