[Guest guest]

Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works

and glorify your Father in Heaven. Matt. 5:16.

 

When they complement you, dear Kat, they are glorifying God because

they are seeing your good works...and He is the one moving through

you. They think its you...but we know it is the Holy Spirit. So pass

their praise on to Him in your heart. I'm sure you make Him smile.

Hugs. Love, dhyana

like most. I find myself in a different place than most. I have been

able to link to church or should I say the people there. The ones who

know me best believe in me without fault. I spoke with about it

because I am not used to these sort of recognitions which I have been

receiving from my friends and my chaplains. I feel that I am being

renewed and I felt it most this last week and especially on Sunday.

Everything around me felt so different, I felt so different. Here is a

quote from one of the chaplains to me this week " Your excitement and

passion overflows, is quite contagious and inspires me. " I have had

the wife of a chaplain tell me that I am different, special! That my

love and compassion for God, for spirituality, and for all things is

so strong and fruitful and there is no doubt that the Holy Spirit

lives in me. These are only a couple of things that I have been told this

> week. I said a prayer before serving the needy at the " Daily

Bread " , a prayer from my heart a prayer to God. The next day I was

complemented on it and told that my prayer was beautiful and

different. I didn't know how to respond to it as I am not used to

being complemented on my spirituality and my eagerness and willingness

to let it flow and spread to all who want it, need it. It took me

while to not blush when all of you one this wonderful group would give

it, it is easier for me to give than to receive when it comes to this.

NOW with it coming from within my church is very hard, in a good way,

but is taking quite a bit of adjustments. I allow the Holy Spirit to

work through me, yet never set out with the intent to spread what I

feel to others, but said I should and he is right. Not doing so

is like denying my gift to be used by God to heal, if I deny it in

public then that means my faith isn't really true, but accepting it

and giving it when

> prompted by the Holy Spirit regardless of who is present promotes

my faith and secures my faith in God that much more. I can and will

only separate the two (my path and the church) through words, not my

actions. God is with me, guiding me along my path and living within me

so strong, and it is my duties to show this through my actions. Words

aren't always necessary. My ways are being accepted within the church

and I will continue allowing it to flow. The Lord God has given and is

still given me what I have asked for and that is to be filled with the

Holy Spirit and to be given the gifts of the Holy Spirit to use for

the better of mankind. Shakti was moving around so wondrously

yesterday in church and I could feel her as if she were a baby waiting

to be born just letting me know that she was there. I love where I am,

with you, me and others sharing different experiences and them being

expressed they way they are only confirms that we are each different

> and unique. I love how you are being used in your expression of

your growth, please always share with us. I love reading about it my

dear beloved sister. I miss you, but understand where you are.
