Workbook Lesson 50
"I am sustained by the Love of God. "
Interpreted by Roberta Gallop
Daily Welcome: My glorious angels of light, good morning, I hope you look as forward to you as I do. Our meeting up and our commitment to do the lessons together means so so much to me. I enjoy writing, especially knowing you will be coming along behind me reading it. Learning some, laughing some, loving some, it all leads to awakening of the finest kind. So, for the 50th time, let's put on our backpacks, open our minds and simply go for it. Big hugs, can't forget the hugs. Yay us.
Prayer: My peaceful Creator, you play with us every minute of every day. Right here, right now, showing us what it is like to love and be loved. Letting us have every experience our little hearts desire. Wanna know what it feels to drive off a cliff at 90 miles an hour? Sure sounds like fun. Wanna know what it's like to have 10 kids? Sure sounds like fun. Wanna hit the lottery for 300 million? Sure sounds like fun. You are the best Dad ever, and you are always with us. Thank you for teaching us, thank you for giving us all we need along the way to you. And especially for loving us allways.
Workbook Lesson: "I am sustained by the Love of God. " I love this lesson, and also what the workbook text says about it. Reminding us that we put faith in everything else but God. We take pills to heal us, we make money so we can buy the things we need to have shelter, food, clothes, and other things we believe are necessary. God's love is truly all we need, but it is very hard to see that in an illusory world. Advertising definitely adds to it as well. Buy this style clothes, and look your best, eat this food and you will be stronger and healthier, wear this cologne and women will love how you smell. Oh ya, and get this car, go on this vacation to relax, drink this drink to feel more confident. So, we have had layers and layers of this crap, over and over again. Believing it is all the love of God that keeps us in the light and happy seems a little far fetched. We do need to remember our earlier lesson that says God is in everything.
Thinking it Over: So I'm thinking about what things I am putting in the way of God's love. A relationship, feeling special, good looks. It is so deep in our minds that it can be difficult to find, but well worth the look. What things are you putting in the way of knowing God's love? What can you recognize as God's love?
Tips & Tricks: This little gem of a lesson goes very very deep. We have been closing ourselves off and disguising God's love for so long, when I started looking at it, I was just amazed at how deep in denial I was. But if you do the work to take a good hard look at it you will be amazed too. Another reminder to take good care of yourself and treat yourself gently. These lessons are like sticking pins in a voodoo doll, you never know which one is gonna affect you and in what way, all we know for sure at some point they truly will. Try to keep things as much on an even keel as possible, getting to bed around the same time, remembering to spend time with God, Get up at around the same time, remember to eat regularly and well. I find the routine for me becomes a nice ground and helps me from flying off too far. Kinda like a place for everything and everything in its place.
Upon Closing: What a sweet and exciting day, learning about God's love. What it is, what it isn't and how unconditional it is. I feel like getting naked and jumping in the creek, I'm not dirty, just wanna splash around a bit and feel God's love, in one more way. May you guys have a really blessed night, and remember we are all in this together, and will remain together. I love you guys, thanks for being in my life. Love & Light, Riki 🌈
Thank you for another wonderful blog on this material. I always love your thoughtful questions you ask us to reflect on the material. I wrote today that what I am putting in the way of God's love is feelings like I have to do everything myself to survive. I am constantly thinking, I am not in the present moments of life.
