Even when you do forget, being human as you are, and things do not go the way you want or expect, the decision to choose into the loving, caring, and sharing will always assist and support you. As you understand and apply that, remember to stay conscious and to be reminded through your openness, through your trust and acceptance, that whatever is taking place, whatever the conditions are in your life in this world, loving is always present. - John Morton, D.S.S. (From: You Are the Blessings, p. 183, John Morton's new book available on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Blessings-Meditations-Reflections/dp/1893020460/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210017957&sr=1-1)

One mission I find we all share is to love and be loved. That is a mission. That is a truth. That is true about all of us. If you are not aware of it right now, take this moment to look in your heart and see that all you want is to love and be loved. You are the Beloved. - John Morton, D.S.S. (From: You Are the Blessings, p. 176, John Morton's new book available on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Blessings-Meditations-Reflections/dp/1893020460/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210017957&sr=1-1)

I am inviting you to open yourself up to this truth of your being: You Are the Blessings. The blessings, the opportunity for greater good, are always present in you, others, and the world around you. All that is needed is to bring your awareness to that truth, follow, and choose as best you can. - John Morton, D.S.S. (From: You Are the Blessings, p. xv, John Morton's new book available on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Blessings-Meditations-Reflections/dp/1893020460/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210017957&sr=1-1)

Not everything that shines brightly is a real source of Light and satisfaction. As you discover that there is a real source of Light within you, you will naturally attune to that Light and experience more satisfaction. - John Morton, D.S.S. (From: You Are the Blessings, p. 154, John Morton's new book available on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Blessings-Meditations-Reflections/dp/1893020460/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210017957&sr=1-1)
John Morton, DSSDec 01, 2008
The Light still works even when it appears that not much is being done. So have the wit to place the Light immediately when situations are appearing and developing. Then much more can be done, often without a trace to those looking from the perspectives of the world. - John Morton, D.S.S. (From: You Are the Blessings, p. 149, John Morton's new book available on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Blessings-Meditations-Reflections/dp/1893020460/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210017957&sr=1-1)

Father-Mother God, we ask for Your attunement, that we can find Your tone resonating, vibrating our Soul into our flesh so that our minds and all of our consciousness are vibrating in harmony and peace. Once again we ask that You clear away anything that does not serve us so that we may align ourselves in Your perfection, in the living truth that You set before us. We ask that You visit each one of us in our heart, the core of our being, so we are comforted. We know Your embrace is loving, that You celebrate our life as it is. And for whatever part of us continues to judge, to be hardened by things in this world and how we relate to ourselves and others, we do ask that You soften and tenderize that part so we may again know ourselves and others as Your innocent children, as those who are thrilled by life in all its forms. We take Your courage as our encouragement. We give thanks for those You have sent to us to teach us, to strengthen us in Your will, that we are Your friends. - John Morton, D.S.S.

You can trust love. You can trust it completely. So when you love, give yourself over to love completely. - John Morton, D.S.S.

John Morton, DSSNov 03, 2008
As we serve, we further come to know our goodness and the goodness inherent in all things. Our patience with ourselves and others is an important way to touch into God's way of doing. So look at one another and see the goodness there, regardless. Look for the good in the situations in the world that seem difficult and so unnecessary. If you do not yet see the goodness present, have faith and trust that somehow in time you will realize the blessings that are present. - John Morton, D.S.S. (From: You Are the Blessings, p. 172, John Morton's new book available on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Blessings- Meditations- Reflections/dp/1893020460/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1? ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210017957&sr=1-1)

I have learned over the years that serving in situations that at first seem to be disturbing and challenging is full of learnings and blessings. - John Morton, D.S.S.

John Morton, DSSOct 23, 2008
You can touch and connect with others through the tone in your voice or the look you give. When you see, when you listen, when you sense others, these are all forms of touching. It is important to listen and speak with loving, to let yourself see and make contact with somebody from the blessings of who you are as you let a loving connection be both received and given. - John Morton, D.S.S. (From: You Are the Blessings, p. 171, John Morton's new book available on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Blessings-Meditations-Reflections/dp/1893020460/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210017957&sr=1-1)
John Morton, DSSSep 12, 2008
As we learn to live in trust in God, the one who created all, then we also learn to put aside any part of us that is attempting to live in separation and isolation. We surrender any sense of fear in the trust of God, and choose through faith and trust that God has prepared us for all conditions perfectly. - John Morton, D.S.S. (From: You Are the Blessings, p. 246, John Morton's new book available on Amazon.com at http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Blessings-Meditations-Reflections/dp/1893020460/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210017957&sr=1-1)

If you are having a difficult time, look at the ways you are clinging and hanging on to what is no longer present, what no longer serves you, and let go. Let go completely and freely, that you may find the one you have been looking for all along. God is awaiting your presence. - John Morton, D.S.S.

How do you enter into grace? Love God. What does that mean? Love everything. Start where you are. Start with yourself. Isn't it amazing that it would be set up that way, that you would begin where you are right now, with yourself? - John Morton, D.S.S.

These negative things that come to cause self-doubt teach us to rise up in the levels of God that have yet to be experienced consciously. This world is a place that causes us to encounter our God-given strengths and the power that is the Divine. - John Morton, D.S.S.

John Morton, DSSAug 01, 2008
If there is greater negativity finding its way into your consciousness or confronting you, that is just something saying, "Okay, here's some negativity to handle." How do you handle it? You love it. You love it the best way you can. You just hold the love and the Light through it. You don't give in. And if you do give in, you forgive yourself because you are of the Christ. Christ is forgiveness and that's that. There is nothing that isn't forgiven. There is nothing that you can do, there is nothing that anybody else can do, that is not in the forgiveness of the Christ. - John Morton, D.S.S.
