Heavenly Desire
“O thief of spiritual energy, you are a hypocrite and a trickster because you have no trust in God. Don’t you see that God has already given you all you need? All fruits grow through the grace of God, just as the body lives through the soul. Look at the skeleton, which decays in the earth. You cannot live without the grace of God. You achieve nothing all alone. You have completely forgotten the desire for God. What do you expect when you don’t ask for help?
Heaven is my home and I communicate with the angelic spheres to live in harmony with all creatures. For all I do and all I achieve, you are my life and the power center within me. I am a jewel among all spiritual values. I am overflowing with joy and fascinated with the loving God. I am the temple of desire for God and do everything God expects me to do. . .
. . .My physical body is filled with the spiritual essence of God’s love, and that is why I am both heavely and earthly by nature.
