My dear Friends, there are opportunities single every day (indeed, in every<br />
single moment) to re-embody what it means to live as a Child of God – in full<br />
harmony with God‟s ever-radiant <strong>Will</strong>. Every emotion felt is an opportunity to<br />
honestly express the same … Every moment of surprise is an opportunity to Love<br />
with selfless courage (as opposed to reacting with selfish fear) … Every confrontation<br />
with something new is an opportunity to stand in awe without analysis, preconception,<br />
or judgment … Every “coincidence” is a wonder-full opportunity to see<br />
God “speaking” with you … Every time you are either attacked or supported is an<br />
opportunity to look past the man-made labels of “enemy” or “friend” -- and simply<br />
accept what is being given to you; be that gift the challenge to lovingly forgive the<br />
“foe”, or the opportunity to be humbly thank-full for the “allegiance” …<br />
One day of pro-active, Purpose-full work is enough to bring you Peace …<br />
One day, every day … Starting today.<br />
Neither I nor anyone else has the faintest idea what your “True Purpose” is.<br />
Fortunately, You Do! And the obvious fact that you are reading this book right<br />
now means that you are already in some way seeking God‟s <strong>Will</strong> -- and this<br />
means that you will indeed inevitably find It (“Whoever follows me will never walk<br />
in darkness, but will have the Light of Life.” ~ Jesus in John 8:12) … And the speed<br />
with which you will do so will be in direct proportion to the courageousness of the<br />
choices you make from here on out (“Know that your last works are greater than your<br />
first.” ~ Romans 2:19) …<br />
So, go forth today and live courageously, my Friends …<br />
Go forth and Live LOVE!<br />
“For the Kingdom of God depends not on talk but on Action.” ~ 1<br />
Corinthians 4:20<br />
“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are<br />
varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities,<br />
but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To everyone is<br />
given the manifestation of The Spirit for the common good.” ~ 1<br />
Corinthians 12:4<br />
“For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for Good Works,<br />
which God prepared beforehand to be our Way of Life.” ~ Ephesians 2:10<br />
“All Scripture is inspired by God, and useful for teaching … so that<br />
everyone may be proficient; equipped for every Good Work.”<br />
~ 2 Timothy 3:16-17<br />
