I received this listing in a class on Sunday and thought I'd share it with you.
Ten Guidelines from God
Please be aware that there are changes YOU need to make in YOUR life. These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill My promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life. I apoligize for any inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this seems very little to ask of you. Please follow these 10 guidelines:
1. QUITE WORRYING: Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you? Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes your way?
2. PUT IT ON THE LIST: Something needs to be done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not YOUR list. Put it on MY to-do list. Let ME be the one to take care of this problem. I can't help you until you turn it over to ME. And although My to-do list is long, I am after all .....God. I can take care of anything you put into MY hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things for you that you never even realize.
3. TRUST ME: Once you've given your burdens to Me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in Me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems and your trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on My list. Problem with finances? Put it on My list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster? For My sake, put it on My list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.
4. LEAVE IT ALONE: Don't wake up one morning and say, "Well, I'm feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from here." Why do you think you are feeling stronger now? It's simple. You gave Me your burdens and I'm taking care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't you know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started? Leave them with Me and forget about them. Just let Me do my job.
5. TALK TO ME: I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy. Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I'm in control. But there's one thing I pray you never forget. Please, don't forget to talk to ME - OFTEN! I love YOU! I want to here your voice. I want you to include Me in on the things going on in you life. I want to here you talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation with Me. I want to be your dearest friend.
6. HAVE FAITH: I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you are. Have faith in Me that I know what I'm doing. Trust Me; you wouldn't want the view from My eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust Me. Although I have a much bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?
7. SHARE: You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget? That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than you. Share your joy with those who need encouragement. Share you laughter with those who haven't heard any in such a long time. Share you tears with those who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.
8. BE PATIENT: I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes Me a little longer than you expect to handle something on My to-do list? Trust in My timing, for My timing is perfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.
9. BE KIND: Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for My sake. I created each of you different in some way. It would be too boring if you were all identical. Please, know I love each of your differences.
10. LOVE YOURSELF: As much as I love you, now can you not love yourself? You were created by me for one reason only -- to be loved, and to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love Me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It makes My heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious to Me. Don't ever forget....

Our Father
Did you inherit your blue eyes and freckles from your father? We all have physical characteristics that we've inherited from our parents. But, have you thought about what you've inherited from your true parent?
Our true parent, called by many names (Source, Infinite Intelligence, The Almighty, or God), has passed to us in our DNA all that It is. We are God's heirs. What does it mean to be an heir of God? We are the sons and daughters of God, entitled to the property of estate of God, just as the heir of a relative or friend comes into possession of the property bequeathed to him. However, the property or estate of God does not consist of "things."
So, what have we inherited? We've inherited all the love in the Universe, because God is Love. We've inherited all the knowledge, wisdom and understanding that fills the Universe, because God is all these things. We've inherited joy, happiness, peace, abundance and perfect health, because our Source is the same. All that God is, we are, too!
Jesus discovered and understood his own divinity, his unique relationship with God. He came into the world when the peoples' interpretation of God was very different. The Old Testament God was jealous, angry, vengeful, someone who wiped out whole cities. This God loved and hated, created and destroyed, blessed and cursed. Jesus' concept of God was an awareness of oneness, or spiritual unity with God.
In Unity we understand that we have the same relationship with God as Jesus did. We understand and accept that the bible verse "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30) is Truth for us all.
Jesus said "And ye will know the Truth and the Truth will make you free>" (John 8:32) Take some time to connect with your true parent through prayer and meditation. Nurture the relationship and be set free.
Happy Father's Day!
Namaste

Living Love-Centered
Valentine's Day is next week and all around us are candies, flowers and hearts. It is a day to celebrate
Love! But we don't need a special day to celebrate Love, we can celebrate Love or live Love-centered everyday!
Jesus' two commandments were Love-centered: "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all you mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And second is equally important: 'Love you neighbor as yourself.' All the other commandments and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments." (Matthew 22: 37 - 40) In John 13:34 - 35 Jesus said " So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples."
Jesus lived Love-centered. He may have had disagreements with others, but he Loved All. He even got into trouble with the Jewish leaders because he did not discriminate his Love to others. When we live Love-centered, our decisions and actions are Love-centered. We choose to love, not hate; we choose to help, not hurt; we choose to live in faith, not in fear. Not only does this effect us, but it effects are all around us. We are changing the race consciousness when we live Love-centered - one person at a time.
Let us begin each day connecting to the Divine within each of us; connecting to the Love, connecting to
the "Kingdom of God...". As we go through our day, we express love, effecting all around us.
Live Love-Centered each day, not just for one day in February. Let's change the world!!

The Nature of God
In Unity we have a statement "There is one presence and one power in this world and in our lives, God the Good, omnipotent". That pretty much says it all, doesn't it? God is everywhere present, all-powerful, and good. I would add that God is love, wisdom, and intelligence. You may have noticed that I stated God "is", not God "has" these qualities. God is not a person having intelligence, love, or power; God is the total of all these attributes, whether manifested or unmanifested. In Acts 17:24 - 25 it states that "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else".
H. Emilie Cady says in her book "Lessons in Truth" that He (God) lives within every created thing as the life, the ever-renewing, recreating, upbuilding cause of it. He never is and never can be for a moment separated from His creations". Each rock, plant, animal and human is the visible expression of God. We express God's love when we love another; we express God's wisdom and intelligence when we educate others (or ourselves); we express God's power when we manifest ideas.
We are connected to God every moment of our existence. In Eric Butterworth's book "Spiritual Economics" he states that "The whole of God is present at every point in space at the same time. God doesn't come and go. God doesn't capriciously move substance from God's supply 'up there' to fill your need 'down here'. God is always present, totally present - as a Presence". Does it give you comfort that God is always present in our lives wherever we are? I am comforted knowing that when I'm happy and joyous, God is with me; when I'm experiencing trials and tribulations, God is with me. I am never alone.
Always remember, as we go through our daily lives, God is with us. In Zephaniah 3:17 it says "The Lord your God is with you, he is might to save". God is with us no matter where we are or what kind of day we are having. We are NEVER alone!
