The Darkest Hour

The Darkest Hour They say, "The darkest hour is just before dawn." Not in the Bible, the phrase is first seen in writing in 1650 by an English historian and theologian, Thomas Fuller. Whoever said it first, it reflects our human experience. We all have lived through those dark moments, only to be rescued by the.Dawning Light. Shams says, "In your dark hours, lift your heart and rejoice in simple Faith. The day is dawning in Love-light. Sign in to see full entry.

Die Before You Die

Die Before You Die Sufis say, "Die before you die." What?! That's a good trick. How is that even possible? What does that even mean? Try this, Hold your breath till you pass out. Shams says, "Not possible." If you could do that, would you know what those Sufis mean? "I doubt it." Because you would wake still you. Shams says, "Try this instead. Quiet your monkey mind." Then disappear in the Silence. Merge with the Holy Moment. Know the bliss of Union with the Sacred Oneness. Be reborn. Sign in to see full entry.

Fear of God

Fear of God The Bible says that the Fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom. Fear God? Are you kidding? Why would one fear one's Loving Parent? The key is in the translation of 'fear'. Wikipedia Says: Christianity [ edit ] According to Pope Francis, “The fear of the Lord, the gift of the Holy Spirit, doesn’t mean being afraid of God, since we know that God is our Father that always loves and forgives us,...[It] is no servile fear, but rather a joyful awareness of God’s grandeur and a grateful...

GOD, Your Lover

GOD, Your Lover God, Is your Lover, not your jailer. Yet, so often, we bust ourselves and, if that is not enough, we then become our own jailer. Shams wants to ask, "How does this dance glorify God? It does not, nor, ever can it." God sent an Angel of Light this morning. But you slept. This is no great matter. It happens many mornings for us all. The good news of Great Joy: God forgave you the moment you were sorry. You asked; He Gave. and Remembers not, your lapse. The lock has been shattered.... Sign in to see full entry.

Integrity

Integrity God honors integrity. 'Blessed are the pure in heart.' Blessed indeed, are those who seek purity. Anything less, dishonors The Almighty. Search my heart, oh Holy One, that I may know and serve Thee. Cleanse me, Heal me, Bless me. As for me and my house, We shall serve the ONE. Sign in to see full entry.

Balanced Breath

Balanced Breath Take time to notice your breath at various times today. You will observe five basic variations.

In the mouth out the mouth, air. And, subtlety, in and out the nose and mouth, ether. Add the variations of left and right nostril So what? Sufis say that balanced practice of these five is...

When God Convicts

When God Convicts Still feeling guilt and shame from some past poor decision or act? Rest assured, it is not from God. When The Almighty convicts, it is specific, compassionate, and tender even when it feels like a slap upside the head. God convicts to heal and set things right. The devil convicts to ensnare and control. Our response ought to repentance. God wants to restore all who respond in genuine apology. All God asks is the desire to turn around. All our Creator desires is our restoration.... Sign in to see full entry.
