Trusting the World With Your Dreams

From the Heart

Louise Gibson

I simply want to communicate.
I am not writing in rhyme.
I know you are accustomed to that,
as I do it all the time. : – )

Trusting the World With Your Dreams

Everyone wants to cross the finish line triumphantly,
But you don’t have to prove yourself in order to be loved.
Be open to be vulnerable, conquered by love.
Let us love one another-
Keep your eyes on our God above.

God is something like an electrical outlet.
There is much power to be had, but only if we are connected.
The connection is faith. Faith releases the power of God.

The importance of knowing that love is a gift from God is this.
We will more surely receive this gift when we know that its
source is God and not simply a matter of using our own powers.
Most of us first have to try our own little formulas for relationships
of love. Eventually we come to a moment called ego-desperation.
It is a moment of admitting “I cannot do it by myself”. I must turn my
life over to the enlightenment and empowerment of God as I
understand Him. I must ask God to make me a channel of His
love, to fill my wells so that I can give the thirsty a drink from my supply.
We are only God’s instruments. Our love is the channel through which
God’s healing and helping grace will flow.

* Most of us do not have great talent, but we can do small things
with great love.
