Everyone of us still has some idea of God carried over from our childhood beliefs under orthodox and theological teachings, that we can gain God’s favour by certain acts of omission or commission. Many still believe that God’s flavour can be gained by certain forms of prayer or worship, or self-restraint. This is not true. Of this we must be sure: GOD IS NOT INFLUENCED BY MAN, that is, God is not influenced by individual you and me. GOD IS THE LIGHT, and if we walk out we will be in the light. God’s rain falls, and if we want it WE must walk out into the rain. GOD IS AND GOD IS LOVE, God is pouring forth It’s INFNITE GRACE, and we are not accepting it because of the use of such works as I, me and mine.

We must drop this belief that we play a part in obtaining God’s Love, God’s Grace, God’s Givingness, and remember that the only part we play is to accept it by opening our consciousness to receive it.
