I Am There

I Am There

Do you need Me?
I am there.
You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by.
You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.
You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands.

I am at work, though you do not understand My ways.
I am at work, though you do not understand My works.
I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.

Only in absolute stillness, behond self, can you know Me
as I AM, and then but as a feeling and a faith.

Yet I am here. Yet I hear. Yet I answer.
When you need ME, I am there.
Even if you deny Me, I am there.
Even when you feel most alone, I am there.
Even in your fears, I am there.
Even in your pain, I am there.

I am there when you pray and when you do not pray. I am in you, and you are in Me. Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me, for only in your mind are the mists of "yours" and "mine". Yet only with your mind can you know Me and experience Me.

Empty your heart of empty fears. When you get yourself out of the way, I am there. You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all. And IAM in all.

Though you may not see the good, good is there, for I am there. I am there because I have to be, because I AM.

Only in me does the world have meaning; only out of Me does the world take form; only because of ME does the world go forward. I am the law on which the movement of the stars and the growth of living cells are founded.

I am the love that is the law's fulfilling. I am assurance. I am peace. I am oneness. I am the law that you can live by. I am the love that you can cling to. I am your assurance. I am your peace. I am ONE with you. I am.

Though you fail to find ME, i do not fail you. Though your faith in Me is unsure, My faith in you never wavers, because I know you, because I love you.

Beloved, I am there.

this is a repost from my aol journal. as i retyped it here, it had a different presence than when i originally posted it. for those new to my journal, this was placed on the moon when we landed there. i got this in my Foundations class at church 4yrs ago. it takes on new meaning for me each time i read it. although initially read often, now it is from time to time, a reminder that Spirit is there for me.

Karen,

You can never know how much this has spoken to my heart today. This is exactly what I needed this moment, this day. Thank you, you have such a beautiful spirit and I count finding you and your journal as a blessing of divine intervention in my life. Bless you, my friend.
