video of James reading with commentary |
Today, let us practice being of service to others by simply extending and expressing our truest-self. Our truest-self is the love that our Creator created us to be. Let us set aside the concepts of chance and coincidence, and recall that because our journeys are a sacred co-creation with God, we are always where we are needed. Where we are is where God needs us. If before another, it is because God is entrusting us with His child. If God trusts you with His child, then doubt yourself no longer. Out of over seven plus billion people, God has for a time united you with them. The Divine understands that together you can both help each other achieve a greater sense of self-awareness and reach a higher level of consciousness. You are both a holy and sacred gift to each other. That is truly who is in front of you today, God’s gift. This is what God is offering you, a holy encounter. If we do not see it as such, then we are not seeing what is being presented to us. We can not obtain true peace of mind until we are able to see the present moment as the gift that it is. Every moment, when we properly perceived, is a gift from God to us, from us to others, and from others to us. Every moment, when properly perceived, is here to help us achieve greater self-awareness and reach a higher level of consciousness. Today, let us recall and see each person before us as God’s child. Today God is, in each interaction, entrusting us with His creation. No matter how differently the ego’s programming may have taught us to see others, if we are not appreciating the Holy nature of each and every moment and encounter, then we are missing out on what is truly going on. We will never feel at peace, happy or fulfilled as long as we keep missing out on the gifts that the present moment is forever offering us.
Today, when for example we go into a café or restaurant, let us use such an opportunity to become of service to our “servers.” Not so much with our money, though that would be nice, but mostly with our words, eyes, emotions and time. Invite God to join, lead and flow through you. Ask your server his or her name. Ask her how her day is going. When you talk to her, notice her like you have never noticed any other server in your life. Recall that in the moments you are interacting with her, she is God’s gift to you, and that you are her gift. See her only as God’s holy daughter. Look into her eyes when you talk to her, and then look even deeper and send her a silent blessing. With all your heart and soul, in those sacred moments, pray for her health and happiness. Pray that she is able to forgive those she has yet to forgive. Pray that she opens herself to loving those she has been programmed to believe are not worthy of her love. When your server speaks, truly listen to her. Ask God to surround you and her in His Light and Loving embrace. The more you practice doing so, the more natural, normal, right and loving, it will feel. Imagine, the tremendous gift your server is offering you, the opportunity to recall that in every single moment, you can unite, by the way you treat others, with God. When you offer love in any of its numerous forms to others, you are in essence inviting God to join you. For God is Love, and that server in front of you is God’s creation, a representative of God on Earth. We are all One, all equally God’s children. Today, your server is offering you the opportunity to reinforce your Oneness, and unite with God. What greater gift than that, can one child of God give to another?
Today, let us recall that being all One, we mirror each other. When the universe is in one way or another serving you, it is equally an opportunity for you to be of service to the universe. Imagine, how many more so-called ordinary moments, can start to become blessings, when we make the conscious decision to be of service to each other. Today, let us recall what a blessing each and every moment, has the opportunity to be. Would we not begin to create a Heaven on Earth if we started thinking and living in this manner? Would we not increase our own levels of peace, joy, love and compassion? Is the possibility for this kind of world not always just a simple choice away? Imagine this, Heaven on Earth, always just a choice away! This is the gift that is available to all those who are now choosing to awaken and remember. Today, become a living physical manifestation and representative of this gift, so that others, through your example, may begin to awaken to the truth in them. Imagine, what a great service you will be providing humanity, by simply being an example of the love that you were created to be. Imagine, through your desire to be of service to those you meet, the opportunity for others to see, that this same light also exist within them. Imagine, becoming that light at the end of the tunnel for another. Imagine, showing them how to forgive when the ego’s world demands they judge, and how to have compassion for those who the ego’s world would insist they condemn. Today, align with the light within, with your true and eternal loving essence. Recall that you are here now, because you are needed here now. Today, allow the rising light in you, to gently begin to awaken those who still remain asleep.
Today, let us recall that service is love put into action. Anytime we are being of service, we are being who we were created to be. There are numerous ways we can be of service, and by doing so, help us reinforce our union with God. Today, let us see each and every person that is presented to us as an opportunity to unite with God. By serving any part of the Divine, any of God’s creations, we serve God. Today, before any interaction, consciously unite with God and your loving essence and nature. Then ask the Divine what expressions of love you are here to offer. Anytime you offer Love, in any of Its numerous forms, you are being of service. When you are kind, compassionate, forgiving, understanding, you are being and beaming, the truth in you. When you listen without judgment, offer hope to those feeling hopeless, or joy to those who are sad, you are representing the truth in you, God on Earth.

Thank you for the reminder of recognizing each person we encounter as a Holy encounter. It brought a heightened awareness for me today – some encounters were easy because of the strength of connection – other encounters I reminded myself of your writing and said a silent prayer for the person along with a prayer of gratitude for your writing increasing my awareness. Thank you for helping me remember!
Thank you Sally for being open to the message.
Great to see you becoming more consciously aware of the Holy nature of each and every encounter.
May we all practice remembering this truth over and over and over again, each and every day, until we treat each and every brother and sister, as the true gift that they are to us and us to them.
Peace. JBC
