Reading the Word of God

Our souls,
like our bodies,
must be fed on a regular basis.

Reading
and meditating on the sacred scriptures
is one way we can feed our souls,
while prayer
is another way.

Reading and meditating,
at least twice a day,
helps our souls to thrive
and our faith to grow.

Feast of Splendor

The glorious wine
of the Holy Spirit sipped
from the chalice of God's love.

The radiant bread
of the Word of God consumed
at the table of the Lord.

The Word of God

There is Power in the Word!
Power to create
a new world out of the ashes of the old;
to bring order out of chaos.

There is Love in the Word!
Love that binds
one heart to another;
that creates an new humanity.

There is Peace in the Word!
Peace that passes all understanding;
that creates a world free of war,
with citizens free of fear.

There is Justice in the Word!
Justice which is God's best beloved;
allows individuals to see withe their own eyes,
and know of their own knowledge.

There is Life in the Word!
Life that survives physical death;
that carries the soul beyond material existence
into the Abha Paradise.

Reading the Word of God Before Going to Sleep

My mind
hungry for reality
consumes the Holy Words.

My eyelids
heavy with meditation
fight to stay open.

My mind
thirsty for the Water of Life
drinks long and deep.

My eyelids
surrendering to the joy of rest
close in asleep.

Meditation Monday: The Word of God is the True Miracle

Kamal (Perfection), 10 Bahá (Splendour), 172 BE - Monday, March 30, 2015 about 12:30 pm Pacific Daylight Time

The word of God is the true miracle because it transforms the individual. Reading and meditating on God's Holy Word pulls the individual out of the darkness of selfishness of personal desires and brings that person into the light of benevolent caring, unselfish kindness, and selflessness.

Reading and meditating on God's word
has expanded my own horizon and concept
of family to take in the planet and all of humanity.

I am a happier person when I place my cares and troubles in God's hands. I can relax knowing that no matter what happens in my life everything will turn out for the best. I know that, despite everything, God wants the best for both me and the rest of the human race because God created us out of love.

The word of God is the true miracle and the messenger who brings that word to humanity speaks with the voice of God. The only way for any human being to know God is through his messengers who come to us in each age with the words that give our souls eternal life. As I read God's holy words I feel the holy spirit flowing through the words and speaking directly to my soul.
