Listen

As The Spirit Speaks

By Karen LaRuePublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

My Dearest Loves,

Listen as the Spirit speaks

For that which They speaketh is holy

It is wise

And it is just

Listen as the Spirit speaks

For Their words are for you

And you alone

To keep within your heart

As tokens of love

Listen as the Spirit speaks

For They have something to say

You, dear one

You know not thy worth

Or the depths of your love

Or the bounds of your capacity for it

You may have tried it upon others

But have you tried it upon your self?

Listen as the Spirit speaks

For They speak of your wisdom

Your grace

Your understanding

Applied to you

For you are not standing outside of Divine Favor

You are of the blessed

Listen as the Spirit speaks

For they only want you to see yourself

With the same holy eyes

With which you look upon others

And to judge yourself

With the same merciful leniency

You woukd give to someone else

In your shoes

Listen as the Spirit speaks

For you are not forgotten

Even when you have forgotten yourself

They are there

Waiting for you

Blessed One

To return

As am I,

Mother Ann
