If you are cold, you can ask for warmth. If you are hot, you can ask for cooling. If you are lonely, you can ask for connection and then be that connection. More and more, do it in ways that are fulfilling. What that is in a perfect way, God's way, can come through grace in perfect timing. That is the power of love.

By following the law of Moses - an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, you can evolve through life, but by coming under Spirit, you are lifted above the law by grace, and you then fulfill the law and you become the law.

Often people find that eternally loving presence in a moment when they're desperate, a moment where it seems nothing is working. Often the perception is, "My life isn't worth anything. Take me, Lord, put me out of my misery." That's often the moment when we are the most open to the mercy of God and the Lord's amazing grace.

This is the God who extends grace to His beloveds on earth and dissolves their karma through His love. This is the God who allows you infinite choice and infinite opportunity to recognize His presence in your life. It blows your mind. You know, you cannot perceive the infinite God with a finite mind. It's like trying to look at the world through a microscope. It's going to be short-sighted.

A way to move from expressions of the law to an expression of grace is to throw away your swords of righteousness. That means throwing away your judgments and your sense that you know what is best for other people. It means allowing others (and yourself) to make mistakes in this world and loving them, (and yourself) anyway.

Now take a moment to be filled in the Grace of God that is with you and all of us together. Grace lets us know we can be thankful for what good is right here and now. We give up an offering of our thanks, knowing that our true nature is caring and loving.

When in doubt, be loving.

Any negativity in your life is just pointing out the next thing for you to work on and to bring across into the Divinity, until one day, and truthfully so, it will all be Divine, and you will know it as that. There will still be negativity and there will still be positivity, and you will see it all equally as the Divine. That is your spiritual heritage.

Through grace, our individual karma can be instantaneously dissolved; then we are no longer bound by the law of cause and effect in that area, providing we stay in the grace and do not recreate karma. We open to grace by connecting to the Christ Consciousness within, thus becoming, in a sense, our own salvation.

As you explore your inner space more and more, you come to have a clearer understanding of who you are. In that understanding is compassion and acceptance and loving; judgments fade. Harshness is replaced by gentleness. Rule by the sword is replaced by an inner discipline that consistently chooses positive expression. Law is replaced by grace.
