God said:

I could ask you, What is on your mind?

I will ask you, What is in your heart?

What means the most to you in the realms of your inner heart? This is something for you to know. You may have been avoiding this area all your life. We well know your answer has something to do with love. It may well have all to do with love.

Perhaps you feel you have gotten your full share of love. You may well not have received all the love you deserve and should have had. What do you do about it now?

Here is the answer: You give as much love as you possibly can.

Make your own love go further. Generously give more love. There isn’t anyone I know – and I know everyone – who doesn’t welcome more love. Many yearn so for it. Some would steal love if only they knew how.

Radiate your love further. Give it away, whether someone has earned it or not. There are many who would be grateful for your honest love to buoy their hearts. When your heart uplifts another, you have given your love in its pure state.

All on Earth yearn for more love. Love doesn’t need to be mush. It just needs to be love. No need to spread the jam of your love thick. An intention will do. Sometimes a thought of someone sends your love to her or him, why not?

Being on a mission means that we have a purpose

You hear a lot of talk in our little community about being on a mission, but what exactly does that mean? Do the people who think they’re on a mission live or act differently than those who don’t?

Being on a mission means that we have a purpose for being on this planet, however we each define it, and we build our lives around that purpose in hopes of reaching others who also have something significant to give.

For me, having a mission means that I have work to do, and next to spending time with family, this work is the most important thing to me. Those who are on a mission are usually preoccupied with their work, and they’d rather discuss something that has to do with their mission than the cultural distractions we’ve come to accept as normal.

They hunger for authenticity, and the usual discussions about politics, television and other distractions don’t interest them. They’d rather discuss how we can move the planet forward, so they passionately commit to generating this kind of discussion and they invite others to contribute.

A few months ago a friend asked me for some advice about his father, who was suffering from depression. After finding out that his father spent most of his time indoors, watching television, I told my friend about ecotherapy, which investigates the therapeutic effects of contact with nature. As I informed my friend, there is a great deal of research showing that regular contact with nature — such as a daily walk in the park or countryside — can have a very beneficial effect on well-being. The research suggests that this can be just as effective against depression as medication or other forms of psychotherapy. So I asked my friend to encourage his father to get out of his house and go for a walk in his local park every day — or better still, go for walks in the countryside.

A couple of weeks later, my friend got back into contact to say that he had told his father’s doctor about my advice. The doctor had gotten angry and told my friend, “Your father has an illness! Would you tell a cancer patient to go for a walk in the countryside? Would that help their condition? Depression is an illness that has to be treated medically.”
