Gleanings on the Web™

Welcome to Gleanings on the Web™! This publication is an on-line version of a bi-monthly subscription publication we had for almost ten years. When we closed the publication, we expected that to be the end of it. To our delight and our surprise, it metamorphosed into what you are seeing now. New editions will be forth-coming approximately every 2-3 months. Please feel free to e-mail this, and/or any archived material, to your friends. Click here to email this page to a friend.

It is our joy to share these thoughts with you. We hope you will enjoy them.

For you, Beloved, because I have heard you

Beloved, I have heard your call, and I am with you…
You may not always see Me, but I am there, and I am with you.
Your heartache is My pain, and your grief becomes My sorrow more surely than you could ever know,
Just as your joy is My delight and your love is My truest form of peace.

I tell you this, beloved, because it is important for you to know that you are never alone.
I am always there, always aware of your deepest need.

Before you have called, I have already answered.
Before you have reached out to Me, I have already enfolded you.
Before you ever realized your own inadequacies, I have made you adequate,
For I would not have created you only to leave you.

It was so I could show you the Way that I set you upon the Path.
It was so I could love you that I perceived your deepest need.
It was so I could help you that I made you a part of Myself, for We are One, not two,

For while there are many hearts, there is only one Love…
While there are many forms, there is only one Life…
While there are many paths, I AM the Way.

So you see, beloved, I am more than with you.
I am within you as the very heart of your being.
I enfold you with My ever-abiding Presence.
I am your eternal Comforter.
And while I am all of this, I am also more than this.

I transcend what you are
So I may feed and nourish you,
Love and heal you,
Quicken and help you as you continue to grow in Me and in My Love.

So when life’s difficult moments confront you, do not ever feel that you are alone.
The Good has not changed.
My Love is still with you.
My Light still shines within you.

This is just a time of casting off…
A time of strengthening your inner Self
So you can be more closely attuned to that which brings you inner Peace,
To that which forms the joy that nothing can dissipate.

Increased awareness is a form of birth.
There are moments of travail,
But the result is new life and a purer form of joy.
The cocoon of doubt is left behind and the butterfly of faith emerges…
The husk of ignorance is left behind and the sprout of wisdom emerges…
And through it all is the golden thread of Love that brings continuity and purpose to it all.

The Plan is there, beloved, and it is Good.
And what is this Plan?
Only that through it all, whatever way you choose to go leads ultimately to Me.
For while you are in Me, and I am in you,
It is the realization of this that you are seeking,
And someday, beloved, you will come to know that I am there.

I have always been there, for I have never left you,
Nor have you ever left Me, for We are One, beloved,
And in that One-ness, there is only Peace.

So go now upon the way that you have chosen
And know that the path on which you walk leads to My open arms
That ever beckon you to a fuller, deeper experience
Of the joy there is when you enter at last into the realization that truly…

We are One.
