I find letters from God dropped in the street,
and
every one is signed by God's name.
Walt Whitman |

God
- God 2 - God 3 - God
4 - God 5 |
God is really only another artist. He
invented the giraffe, the elephant,
the cat. He has no real
style. He just keeps on trying other things.
Pablo Picasso |

If you meditate on your ideal, you will acquire its
nature.
If you think of God day and night, you will acquire the nature of
God.
Ramakrishna |

That has been my personal
relationship with
God--a
connection with the powerful,
loving, wise energy in all of
us, in all creation. It
is the
life force itself. We
can all
have contact with it each
moment in our lives, but it
takes commitment and practice.
We must be willing to move
through all our deepest fears,
doubts, and misunderstandings.

God often visits us, but most of the time we are
not at home.

| People see God every day; they just don't recognize
him.
Pearl Bailey |
| |
|
God is life.
I understand that and express it.
God is perfect Truth.
I
understand that and express it.
God is Love.
I
understand that and express it.
I radiate thoughts of love and
peace and healing to the
whole universe. If
anyone has ever injured
me or done me any harm, I fully and freely
forgive that person now,
and the thing is done forever.
I go free.

| The distance between you and God is as thin as an
insect's wing.
from the Guru Granth Sahib |

God respects me when I work, but loves me when I
sing.
Rabindranath Tagore |

Our best chance of finding God is
to look in the
place where we left him.
Meister Eckhart |
|
God is an angel in an angel, a stone
in a stone,
and a straw in a straw.
John Donne |
|

The surest way to determine whether one possesses
the love of God is to see
whether he or she loves his or her neighbor. These two loves
are never
separated. Rest assured, the more you progress in love of
neighbor the more
your love of God will increase.
Teresa of Avila |
| |
|
God cannot endure that unfestive, mirthless
attitude of ours in
which we eat our bread in sorrow, with pretentious, busy haste,
or even with shame. Through our daily meals He is calling us
to
rejoice, to keep holiday in the midst of our working day.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer |
| |
|
We need not wings to go in search of Him, but
have only to find a place
where we can be alone--and look upon Him present within us.
Teresa of Avila |
| |
There
is only one basic desire that motivates the spiritual seeker—to
make the experience of God, of divine bliss and joy, the center of
the
life experience.
We are spiritual beings living in a material universe,
and as such, our first priority is to nurture that eternal part of
us.
The eleventh step of AA’s twelve-step program states it
beautifully:
“Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious
contact with God as we understood him, praying only for knowledge
of his will for us and the power to carry that out.”

When
I look like this into the blue sky, it seems so deep, so peaceful,
so full of a mysterious tenderness, that I could lie for centuries
and wait
for the dawning of the face of God out of the awe-inspiring
loving-kindness.

I
walk in faith. When my attention is on areas of conflict in
the world, I may
perceive planet Earth as being in chaos. However, when I
keep my focus
on God, I am reminded of the wonder in life and the ultimate
outworking of good.
External appearances may create fear and worry--but I give them no
power.
I hold to the truth that God is always present, even in
challenging circumstances,
and that divine order always prevails.

She no longer talked to God. It seemed
childish to chatter at Him. Besides, she no
longer needed His constant attention. For a while she had
thought He had gone away
or never existed, but she decided that was foolish. She was
aware of Him all the time,
winking at her from the flowers, serenading her in the song of a
bird, smiling at her
from the furry face of a kitten, touching her with a soft summer
breeze. She found a line
in a book that she thought was apt, from Dave Tyson Gentry:
"True friendship comes
when silence between two people is comfortable." Well,
who was your best friend,
if not God, and what did you really need to say to Him or He to
you when you both
already knew the most--and only--important thing, which was
that you would always be there for each other.

God's
presence. . . is an inner experience that never changes.
It's a relationship that's there all the time, even when we're
not paying attention to it. Perhaps the Infinite holds us to
Itself
in the same way the earth does. Like gravity, if it ever
stopped
we would know it instantly. But it never does.
