Rejoice in God’s Love
“…they shall become like the mighty men of Ephraim, and their hearts shall rejoice as with wine; yea, their children shall see it and be glad; their hearts shall rejoice in the Lord” Zechariah 10:7 Lamza Translation
Tomorrow we celebrate July 4, 1776, when 238 years ago the Continental congress and delegates began forming our Nation’s Declaration of Independence. It was signed later that same year in August. Perhaps we don’t think about the principles set down in that document, which we, for the most part, are protected as citizens nationally. We have these principles to protect. Perhaps, even when we are happily celebrating this holiday, little thought is giving to why we have this holiday or what was in the minds of our forefathers on that day so long ago.
The scripture for the week, has been accepted by historians throughout the world as referring to the ancestry of the people who are known today as citizens of the United States of America; “God’s Scattered People” of that known world during the period of history and their “Restoration” of those people. Certainly we can observe today our Nation is a Nation of God’s Scattered People.
We don’t believe that God is the judge of your particular faith, only that you know yourself to be of Him and that you honor Him and Him alone. “You shall have no other gods except me.” This is our Nation’s heritage and ours.
No, we are not saying that everyone shall worship in the same manner or belong to the same school of thought. However, we were ALL created by the same energy of the Divine Love of God. This Nation’s founders acknowledged that Truth and laid a foundation for the future on this Truth.
Now today, 238 years later, we feel it is vitally important to remember who and what our Forefathers expected of future generations of “God’s Scattered People” to do and be. The honor they intended for us all to live by, which is peaceful, loving and inclusive of God. That may take renewing as well as restoration?
In 1956, Dr. Bussell, our co-founder, wrote the following: “Today, on the fourth day of July, 1956, we pause to survey the United States of America with pride and gratitude, but also with fear and trembling, lacking the capacity for complacency and without entire satisfaction.” (In 1956 there were only 48 States. Arizona wasn’t even a State, nor was Alaska or Hawaii.) 51 States today make up our Nation, but the quote from Dr. Bussell could be dated 2016.
Chirothesia has always considered it an honor to follow the Law of the Land in which one lives. So on occasions, like this holiday, matters of this sort of thought may be explored. It is our intention to bring knowledge and Gods Light, which creates we believe, includes and stimulates well rounded “God’s Scattered People.” The balance of who we are and where we came from and were we are going must of necessity include the entire personality of centered thought and focused on God the Creator. Hopefully with a result that we each establish ourselves in Love and Gratitude and banish fear and trembling. “A nation divided against itself cannot long endure.” another of Doctors quotes in 1956.
We are guided to remind ourselves this Truth, that which matters in life, or everything really, is that which we focus. And what we focus upon we create more of. What is your focus? What do you desire more of in your life?
Certainly we never want to focus on anything that will injure or harm ourselves and perhaps even more importantly, anything that will cause injure or harm to anyone else. God is Love and so are you. Be the Love that you were created to be. Rejoice in being God’s Personality. Rejoice in the Love that you are, what ever school of thought you choose, as long as you remember to Love and honor All God’s Creation! Use God’s Love to be victorious Personally, Nationally, and Globally.
It is with deep Gratitude for this opportunity to share my thoughts and learn with you the Power of Creation.
Let us share also the Light Bearers:
(Translated from the Ancient Mystery Schools of the Essene)
Men of the Earth, Brothers in Eternity, shake your souls Awake.
The hour so long waited for, the promised hour has come.
Over the dark firmament of suffering humanity is rising the morning star.
Heralding the day that you will understand that mans most sacred duty is to be man.
That is, to manifest life, intelligence, truth and love.
There is no higher aim, no vaster problem.
And you who realize this will break the fetters with which ignorance and fear
have bound unconscious humanity,
and will stand up free and know yourselves to be the eternal manifestation
of the un-manifest.
Witness of the absolute, sons of the great ALL
whom you call God.
