Wanted to share my message from God.
This morning I woke up feeling very low. Before I opened my eyes I prayed to God, asking for help to cope with everything.
The first thing I did after getting out of bed was check my emails.
There was one from God!!! The subject line was 'God wants you to know'.
The message began as follows:
On this day of your life, dear friend God wants you to know....
that you are a pure child of God, beautiful in your innocence - and that this is true no matter what you may have done
There is no offense you could ever commit that can rob you of your magnificence, or of the wonder of who you are......
.....who among us hasn't fallen from the path, betrayed another, acted unwisely, fallen prey to temptation, given in to a craving or addiction?
All of us are human. And in God's eyes that makes us perfect. Really. Just the way we are. Like 3-year-olds, looking seriously up at some elder, wondering with quivering lips whether we'll get a spanking for breaking the rules....
The 3-year-old is beautiful in her innocence. He is pure as snow, and there is simply something that has not been totally understood, or fully integrated into behaviour yet. It's okay. We don't mean to be "bad". And in truth we aren't. Not one of us.
We're simply, sometimes, mistaken. And God loves us anyway. Immensely. Completely. Eternally.
Just as we are.
How beautiful, timely, and loving is that! It set me up for the day, and reminded me that God can answer our prayers, sometimes in unexpected ways!
Thank you God!
Rowan

This is very beautiful, and touching the way the message came to you. I work in a mixed-age kindergarten and we have some three year olds. Yesterday we had them all lined up to get some water in their little cups, and one of the three year old girls forgot to put the cup to the spigot before she opened the tap and got water on the floor. I will never forget the look on her face. She tried so hard to hold it in but then she wept in this truly repentant way, she truly felt bad for what she did and it scared her. This image came up for me while I was reading this message. If you really cultivate a relationship with God, these kinds of "c0-incidences" happen a lot. It seems like so often that just the right message or book or some other token of love or guidance shows up for me. It helps me to have that divine support undergirding all my other effforts.
