El arte de ser Feliz Es una ciencia conocida por pocos, brinda beneficios para nuestra vida práctica habitual, nos ayuda a entender que no se trata de vivir una mera existencia, se trata de vivir como y para lo que Dios nos ha creado. Dios no nos creó para sufrir o arrastrar problemas pasados, en el pensamiento de Dios y su visión para cada uno de sus hijos que somos hecho a su imagen y semejanza, fue el de ser, seres de luz, paz, amor que converjamos todos en un mundo de solidaridad, respeto, ayuda incondicional para nuestros semejantes, pero el hombre en su gran tarea de vivir ha olvidado todos estos principios de la creación y equivocadamente está tratando de ser el creador de cosas nuevas dejando de lado lo ya existente , no nos damos cuenta que por nuestros inventos cada día mas nos alejamos del plano divino en el que Dios nos creó, no se trata de poder económico o de conocimientos nuevos, se trata de valorar y cuidar lo que tenemos de una amanera efectiva y productiva. El pensamiento humano por sí mismo crea formas distorsionadas, solo acogiéndonos a los pensamientos divinos somos capaces de ver un mundo de armonía y orden en todos los sentidos, con el arte de ser feliz aprenderemos que tenemos el poder de superar la naturaleza humana y lograr la libertad, espiritual, emocional y mental para disfrutar de nuestro cielo en la tierra. Cuando nos conectamos con la Real Divina presencia de Dios es milagroso y notorio como nuestro día se desenvuelve de manera ordenada, todo fluye, todo cae en su lugar, el tiempo se expande siempre estamos en el lugar correcto en el momento preciso, con las personas ideales. Levanta tu corazón en oración y alabanza a Dios en quien tu eres que por su infinito e incondicional amor , viene a nosotros y a nuestros seres queridos la abundancia espiritual, física y económica que por ser parte de su creación nos ha heredado. Hermanos si queremos vivir nuestro cielo en la tierra pidámosle a Dios nos de la luz del entendimiento sus dones de sabiduría para hacer lo que Dios espera de nosotros. Los invito todos los viernes a las 7:30 para acompañar a nuestro ser de luz, amor y verdad de quien somos y a quien vamos para llenarnos de su amor y acompañarlo en su soledad y agonía, regalémosle esa hora que te aseguro será multiplicada en dones y gracias por su gran amor. Tomado en parte del libro: El toque de amor. Por Muñeca Geigel.
