"Ask and you shall receive". Thank you God for answering my prayers, 2 weeks ago I called on Silent Unity to pray for my family to make the journey to the United States without any problems. I asked for blessing for them and I receive it the same day. Now they have a new life and are willing to work harder to help others. God is great, God is good. MCQ

God has never let me down. For those of you weathering a turbulant storm: * searching for a job * in the middle of a department reorganization KNOW that God is good. God is faithful. God will never forsake you. He didn't forsake me: I just went through a nasty, heartless, shrewd department reorganization at my job. My job was eliminated. New jobs were developed in which we had to apply for or get laid off. I applied for the new job and did not get it. It was tough. . .But God delivered me. He did above and exceedingly more than what I imagined. On the day that was to be my final day in the office. . .I was offered a different position by the Vice President. . .a lateral move with an increase in salary. Praise Be the Name of the Lord. For he is good and will never let you down.

In an excerpt by Winifred Wilkinson Hausm in the email from the Unity E-Newsletter as stated in her book, Your God Given Potential: The Twelve Spiritual Powers she states "It is a gift of God, and as such it must be respected and utilized to further his good work on earth.? This is a wonderful idea but why do we continue to refer to God (energy) as male? Truly God is neither male nor feminine but essentially just energy - pure love, light, inspiration and intelligent energy. And this is my opinion but I love Jesus the master, for his teachings but all of God including any type of Jesus consciousness is pure energy and not feminine or male. However, if someone is going to refer to God and he then I hope that they will remember that she is also God energy. Feminine God(dess) is the earth planet, the trees, the water, the sky, the air, the plants, the fish, the birds, the animals and true love.

You may be interested in my blog-- Dementia: Closer to God www.bevhamilton.wordpress.com..or Google Dementia: Closer to God. My last post was: God Who? My husband Ulf, who has dementia as the result of sleep apnea, wanted to know God's last name so he could call and thank him. Try defining that one!! Bev

Can someone tell me what happened to the unity on line that I belonged to? Is it on a different site? I have been searching for it for some time now, thank you.

My heart reaches out to "jackie" in her post on "reconciliation/healing." It doesn't matter how long you have been "away from the church." You can never be away from Spirit - God loves you no matter what - no matter what mistakes you have made (we ALL make mistakes!). In place of your anxiety, anger, remorse, guilt, and obvious fear, please take a deep breath and allow yourself to KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT that God loves you just as you are, mistakes and all! You have never been without God's grace and forgiveness! You have merely kept it from yourself! Let God's love flow through you! I know it seems hard - impossible sometimes - when we are down on ourselves because we think we are not good enough, but the TRUTH is you are always good enough, just as you are! You are good enough because God already knows your heart! I encourage you to browse the Unity website and read the prayers, meditations, and other wonderful writings that will encourage you and inspire you! Give YOURSELF the gift of Grace and Forgiveness! At any time, you have been doing the best you could do, so stop beating up on yourself! Make the decision today to begin living a new life! There is so much more out there for you if you will start walking toward it, start moving toward it in your heart and mind first and let go of the past mistakes - that's what makes us "sinners" - refusing to learn lessons from the mistakes we've made and repeating them over and over. Forgive those whom you believe have wronged you - you don't have to accept treatment that is harmful or inconsiderate to you in order to forgive others - most likely they are doing their very best at the time too - we are ALL on the journey! Start going to your local Unity church if you can - and give yourself a break - KNOW IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD ALREADY LOVES YOU HERE AND NOW - the past is gone and the future is not here yet - all our true power is in the here and now where we can begin making better choices and decisions about what direction we are taking our lives. Jackie - know that you are loved. Grace and Blesings...

"imachildofgod" is exactly right! I agree completely! I could not have written it better! The only separation is that created by people who think theirs is the only right way. Even when I see programs or hear people talking in a way contrary to the way Unity and other New Thought groups teach, I remind myself they are on their path - they will get where they are going if they stay true to their path. It's not my place to tell them they are wrong, even though that feels wrong for me to think or believe like that anymore. A person sent me a note about an article I wrote for Helium about Devotionals for Helium, stating she had recently become a Christian. Part of me wants to assure her that whatever she believed before was okay, but the fact that she's trying to learn and grow and develop her relationship with Spirit - in any way - is good for her and not for me to judge. The Presence of Spirit is in and runs through ALL of us, shining like a brilliant prism reflecting the individual particles of Spirit. It take so much stress and fear away when we realize this. Thank you, imachildofgod! Grace and Blessings to you!

my husband and I have been experiencing some difficult financial times as have many others in our world. i had an extremely difficult several days recently, just couldn't get my mind GOD CENTERED. while i was at work, he called silent unity which i have found out he does frequently. something changed in me gradually that day to the point where, my heart stopped pounding, my mind became calm and my perspective took a turn toward GOD within me. when we talked that evening, i discovered he had prayed that day. i knew it was the spiritual strength from him to GOD that moved me toward the calmness and knowing that we will be OK. our spiritual connection has never been so profound as it has been since he joined the unity circle. i am so grateful for our blessings, nan

I must say I was a bit shocked to see Emerald Eyes' comment. All people in ALL the world are on a path to god. Where they live, Where they were born, How they were raised, what their religion is, is void. We are all equals in the eyes of God, and are supposed to look at each other with those same eyes. The christ in me, sees the christ in you. As Bishop Spong says "Love wastefully". The bible, in my honest opinion and I truly BELIEVE, is not to be taken litteraly. Our intellegence points that out on many stories from the bible. And let us not forget our dear constantine that destroyed hundreds of books from that era he deemed heretic beliefs. Our current bible is only a fraction of what was really available at that time. I believe in the metaphysical interpretations because they speak to my intellect. And they feel right in my heart. Unity is about loving anyone. Gay or Straight. Fat or skinny. Black or white. Rich or poor. We all take off our superficial masks as we walk into the sanctuary and greet each other as equals. There are no men, no women, no gays, no straights, no blacks, no whites, no rich, no poor, no muslims, no christians, no buddhists, no ahteists, ONLY the christ that indwells each and every one of us is present and we simply glow with that unconditional love for everyone. If you have EVER researched the similarities between Buddahs teachings and that of Jesus you would see how incredibly SIMILAR they are. The teaching of LOVE is what stood out most for these two men. Their teaching of love should and does live on in the present with unity teachings and its followers. Not the bigotry, hate, and conditional love put upon some followers of other paths. HOWEVER, simply because someone is choosing another path, does not mean they are on the wrong one. every religion in this entire world are like the spokes of a wheel. With god being at the very center, omnipresent holding the entire wheel together. I have found nothing but smiling faces and loving embraces from everyone I have ever met at unity. And there is something about being in the Unity gardens in MO that has a spiritual significance for me. When you are surrounded by people that love and respect you for the TRUE you. The CHRIST you, well ma'am, that is following Jesus' word to the letter. Namaste to all of you my brothers and sisters.
