You can hear my Sunday message at Unity Center at InspiredLivingCenter.org (under past talks)
The Sun has risen once again for everyone on Earth.
The Son has risen within us, when we share our Love and shine with delight.
Today is a day of Celebration, as we recognize new birth, renewed Spirit, the inspiration to carry on.
Whether we know, follow or live the teachings of this simple Holy Man, we know his words of Love.
We recognize the commandment He spoke and demonstrated so clearly: “Love One Another.”
Yes, He taught us to love our enemies and to live true to the inner direction of Spirit within.
The hypocrisy of following a loving, non violent teaching is getting angry and violent to demonstrate the belief. So many of the great teachings have been led by non-violent teachers who all gave the message of living what you are teaching. Think, speak and act the Peace we want to teach. It appears we have swayed from demonstrating “Peace on Earth and Good Will to all Mankind.”
Humanity feels guilty for not fully living the Truth we know and value.
“Love everyone even as we are loved.”
“Share what you have with gratitude and Joy.”
“Give always the best of yourself to others.”
When we do not give our best, we feel ashamed.
When we do not give love, but hate, we feel afraid.
When we do not demonstrate our faith by sharing with our brothers, we feel separate.
When we live and love and give and share fully and freely, we are alive and confident in our faith.
Note: When we feel ashamed, afraid and separate, we often attack, judge, blame, justify and go to war.
Yes, I am a blatant Pacifist, one who wants peace more than anything else.
I forgive myself for anytime, I have argued, judged, blamed and been angry with another.
My healing work is to listen, to seek understanding, to offer Love and Peace, to make happy.
On this Easter morn, what is your Holy and Healing work?
What you do for yourself is done for others.
What you do for others, you have done for You.
Our work begins at home and abroad, with family and with strangers.
We have a simple and daunting task of changing our minds about everything, but especially about Love.
Love is defenselessness.
In our need to defend, we set up attack.
In our need to justify, argue and explain, we create lack of peace between ourselves and others.
Yes, we are called to let go and learn.
What is so important to fight for, to kill for, to do harm for?
No need to hurt anyone’s feelings or judge another’s beliefs.
No reason to start hating anyone when we can forgive and love them anyway.
Perhaps each day we can heal our unforgiving thoughts and hurtful feelings.
Perhaps we can choose today to wake up renewed in Spirit, having chosen Love as our path.
Perhaps this Easter we can find the happy willingness to let the past go and enjoy the present.
Perhaps we can be the One who demonstrates Love, Trust, and Freedom no matter what.
Always reminding me and you and the One Son we are to remember Love!

LOVE
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
No disease that enough love will not heal;
No door that enough love will not open;
No gulf that enough love will not bridge;
No wall that enough love will not throw down;
No sin that enough love will not redeem.
It makes no difference
how deeply seated may be the trouble,
How hopeless the outlook,
How muddled the tangle,
How great the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
If only you could love enough, you would be the happiest
and most powerful being in the world.
