The Healing Presence of God

Oh beloved child of God, long have I listened to thy heart cries of longing, yearning, hoping and praying. Long have I beheld thy earnest striving and been a witness to thy suffering, thy disillusionment, thy disappointments and thy despair. Long have I, thy Indwelling Spirit, sustained thee, binding thy wounds with the healing essence of my love. Come unto me now and accept the comfort of my ever-abiding Presence within thy heart. Let the Heavenly music of my heartbeat replace the noisy din of thy worldly consciousness. Permit now, the boundless love within my Presence to heal thy wounds once more, and this time forever. Yield now, thy tired body and its ills to me, Thy Divine Physician. Surrender now, thy mortal self and permit me, The Master Builder, to set the capstone upon my divine creation. I AM Thy Eternal Presence, Thy Everlasting Self, Thy Pulsing life essence coursing through thy mortal form. I AM thy breath, thy life, thy very consciousness. I AM here-within!

Thou has thought to fashion for thyself, a world apart from me. This could not be, for I AM The Master Builder and I must abide within all creation. Again and again, thinking that thou were alone, heartsick, afraid, despairing, thou has longed for me, called for me, watched and waited for my return. Yet never have I left thee for indeed thou could not even have searched for me without my Presence in thy heart. It is I who knelt beside thee during thy prayers. It is I who dried thy tears. It is I who gave thee courage, pointing always to the better day, yet ever whispering softly as I comforted thee, "I AM here, I AM here, I AM here!"

Turn now within and behold me, Thy Heavenly Comforter. I AM the ever glowing Presence of God within thy being. Come away now from the ever shifting, ever changing tide of mortal thought, feeling and desire. Come unto me now and claim the freedom which the love of my heart contains. Accept now, at long last, the healing presence of my peace and know it for thine own. Let my breath be thy breath. Let my love be thy love. Let my all-knowing mind, be thy directing intelligence. Come! Come, let me be thee!

I AM the Presence of the Sacred Fire within my heart; Blazing! Surging! Expanding! Purifying! Harmonizing! Healing! and Freeing! me forever from all shadows of human creation.
