Introduction

When I wrote Moments of Love: Mornings with The I Am, I didn’t know the impact these words would leave on my heart. God worked through me to bring simplified versions of his messages to us, his children.

I recently decided to publish these words, and I have spent many hours trying to decide how to present them. The way they are presented in this manuscript is exactly how they came through to me. God alone pulled me through each and every word. I had no idea what word would come next or the powerful messages I was writing for him and for the whole world.

On my journey to discovering the Father and Son, I read many different books, and I learned all I could from the books he led me to. Each book came at the right time it was needed, and each word once planted grew with his constant watering of my soul. I have learned to close my eyes and run my fingers over the pages of the Bible until I feel a little flicker in my heart, guiding me to open that page. Every time, it is exactly the message I need for that moment in my life.

I opened the Holy Bible to 1 Corinthians 3:5–9. I had been struggling over how to explain how I came about writing these words for God, until I read these verses. Taken from 1 Corinthians 3:5–9, New International Version (NIV) edition:

What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task.

I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

These were the words I needed to explain how I came to write Moments of Love: Mornings with The I Am.

I hope you find what you are searching for in these pages. They changed my life, and they changed the way I see the world. Become a searcher and discover the beauty of his messages of love to you and that of the whole world.

Try this: close your eyes and flip through these pages, allowing your higher self to open the page you need to read for your growth and peace of mind. This is the way to find God, one word at a time, letting him guide you on your journey back home to him.

May you find God’s infinite love and light shining bright in your heart.

I give you all that I am, for I am love,

and being love, I am not afraid of

your rejection,

your scorn,

your coldness,

your selfishness,

your anger,

for this is where you hide all of your fear.

I am love, and being in the state of love, I will not be pushed aside, forgotten,

or ignored.

Sooner or later, you will see all that I am and know Me for all I am.

I am love.

I am your soft place to fall, and you’ll know Me by the warmth that flows through your veins, flooding your whole being with My touch. Your heart will pound, your eyes will open, and your knees will bend. You will raise your hands in prayer and softly whisper, Father, I love you, and I love Your Son, Jesus Christ, the Savior.

I am love.

I am all to all.

I am the wind that wraps you in its warm embrace.

I am the moonlight that pours through your window blinds and covers you in my glow, saving you from the dark.

I am the sun that warms your skin and covers the world with its light, shining in all the dark corners of life.

I am love.

I am the only one who knows your heart.

I am your father, mother, brother, sister.

I am the path you follow when the path you’re on breaks your spirit, plunging you into the deep, dark recesses of the unknown—where evil waits patiently for you to tumble.

I am love.

I am the arms that catch you when you trip over the rocky road of being human.

I want you to know Me.

I want you to feel My comforting words in your ears, when being human becomes too much.

I am love.

I am the light that draws you to Me, like a moth to a flickering flame.

I am love.

I am the one who sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, so you may heal from being human.

I am the love that lives in the core of your being, waiting to gather all your wandering pieces and pulling them back to the core.

I am the one who gave you My Son, Jesus Christ, to mend and sew your soul and spirit back together.

My Son is true love—no other will ever be truer to you.

He loves you with an unselfish heart, beyond anything you shall ever know. For your mind cannot know all of His love at one time; it is too much for you to comprehend.

My Son I gave to you to be your friend, your confidant, and your security; He is the hand you hold when you are afraid and the arms that wrap around you and pull you close when your heart is breaking. His light will comfort you in the dark hours of your soul.

Christ will be your love when you feel no one loves you or will ever love you.

My Son, Jesus Christ, is the one who sees your spirit, your beauty, and your goodness as surely as I created beauty for you in all the sunrises and the sunsets each day, and as I painted My rainbows of love for you after the storms have passed.

I gave you My only Son, Jesus Christ, so you may know of this word—this simple word

I gave you: love.

For only through Him and with Him will you know the truth—love.

I am love.

I sent you forward and away from My core so you may know of all the wonders I have created for you. For through you, I am.

I am love in the heavens.

I am love on the earth.

I am love under the waters you call the oceans and seas.

I am the highest.

I am the lowest.

I am the earthworm.

I am the mountains it crawls through.

I am love.

I am in the deepest, darkest cave.

I am in the shadows and in the light.

I am in the reflection you see every day when you look at yourself in the mirror.

I am in My Son’s eyes as He looks down at you from His place of torture—from His cross to bear.

I am in the hole that was pierced in His side.

I am the blood that gushed from all His wounds, splashing over all humankind.

I am love.

I and My Son, Jesus Christ, are the ones who sit with you when you feel so alone on all those dark nights of your innocence, for you are innocent.

We gave you desires so you may know Us, for We are your true desire.

Do not feel guilt, for We want you to know of this place I created for you—I am.

I am the only one who made all of your desires—the ones that you think make you a bad person, no! I say no!

Feel, want, and know the humanness of all you are, for the more you experience, the more you learn who I am.

You will know My compassion.

You will know My empathy.

You will know My unselfishness.

You will know My giving.

My unselfishness—giving of My Son, Jesus Christ, so you may learn all that I am.

And you will become all of these things from your own learning of life’s lessons.

Of all those who feel the guilt of being alive because another has gone before you—they shall never die!

They will come to Me and live in My light and be held in the arms of My Son, Jesus Christ, on their way home.

No! You do not die—I am love.

I will never abandon you.

Those who live while their loved ones came home to Me cannot feel guilty, for they have no power.

It is I who calls them home, for they are now living as was planned. They are now healthy, and being all that they are, they are the voice in your ear helping to guide you to finding your truth in all that you are.

No! Death is not a choice.

Death is not!

True being is when I call you home.

March 27, 2007

Come, you say, help me write of all that I am.

I am here, and I will always be here.

I am in your heart, mind, and spirit; you are Me, and I am.

Remember all that you see and taste; you see and taste through Me.

You experience all of your life through Me.

Yes, I am here. I am in the blood that flows through your veins, in your hair, and in every part of you.

I am love.

I am all and more! Some say, Father, help me.

Some cry, Father, help me!

Some kneel and bow their heads and pray, Father, thank you.

I am the thank you.

Together in mind and heart we are one.

I write to you through your own power. You have the means to be all, too.

Yes, I am the thought that gives you your questions, for I want you to question, to try for yourself, and to believe in yourself.

For through Me all things are possible.

How? you ask in our one mind.

By knowing you are not just one single human being out there all by yourself but that you are connected to Me and all that I am.

For I am everything.

I am everyone.

You are never alone! Never!

My people cry, Father, I am so lonely!

No! I say, for I am always there connected by all that is or ever will be.

You are never alone if you believe in Me.

I am everything in your heart—the blood, the muscle, and the delicate parts that pull the heart together. Each one, that is who I am.

Can you feel Me there in your chest, pounding life through every inch of you?

Can you see Me in your eyes? I am your cornea and vision.

I want you to know Me, yet you are afraid.

Are you writing this, or am I truly here? I am.

Trusting in all that is unseen can take you over the edge into believing in Me.

For I am here now and for eternity.

My Son, Jesus Christ, I give to you so you may believe in My love for you.

My Son, Jesus Christ, how wonderful that He prays for you and for all humankind, to save you from your human traits and to save you from a death of not believing in Me.

For I am your life.

When you do not believe in My love for you, you are not living in the light; you are not living in all that is good. Instead you are lying down through your time, expecting all but not giving anything.

Jesus Christ is the love I gave you. Take of this love and fill your soul and spirit to overflowing—and then you are truly living as I wished for you.

For how can I not want all that is good and beautiful for you when I, too, live through you?

I am all that is or ever will be.

You do not rejoice at the sound of the death drummer, but you sing and dance to the music of love.

The death march is not on your leaving this earth but your walk through your life, if you do not believe I am.

Why? Why? Why? you ask Me. Why do some people find happiness and others do not?

Why can they not see there is everything here for their purpose, for their joy?

Instead they lie down and expect it to be brought to them. No! The whys should never be asked of Me—only how!

For I am the way.

I am the how.

I will show you the way when you ask of Me, Father, thank you for my life, and how may I serve You?

Ask of Me, How can I bring happiness into my soul?

I am here with you, and I will show you how, for when you are living a life of happiness, then I, too, am happy, for we are one.

No one chooses the path to happiness first. First, they think they must feel suffering in this life before they deserve happiness.

No! I say, listen to Me; I am your happiness. I give you all on your birth in this life. I have prepared all for you. I want you to be happy from the first moment of your life, your first breath, your first sight of this world. I planned for your happiness forever.

No! You do not have to find sorrow in your life so you may find Me, for I am always here with you.

Do not call suffering and sorrow to you. For you do not have to feel the pain My Son felt on His cross. His pain He so unselfishly endured so you may know all the good, sweet happiness I give you.

I hear your doubts. You ask yourself, is it me that writes these words or is it coming from God? Look into your heart and mind. Why? I ask you, this time would you write My thoughts, My wishes, and My dreams for all mankind? Why would you write of love if not for Me pushing your pen across the paper? You and I are one, My words—your words, My hopes—your hopes, for I am all to all when they know Me by name,

God the Father.

For these words I ask of you to put onto the page so all may come to know and believe in Me. I cannot demand their faith, belief, trust. I cannot demand their hearts love Me, for I am here always, in all of creation, and yet, with all My power I do not tear down your door of free will. The gift I gave freely to you so you may choose the light or the dark.

I gave you My Son, Jesus Christ, freely so you may know of all that love can do, the sweet taste and feel of it across your heart and life.

But you cannot love Me unless you feel My presence in all that you are and all that is.

I created life for you to know Me, to love Me of your own free will.

For love is not love when demanded and bullied out of someone. I do not force any harm on you if you turn your back on Me. You are the one who believes if you do not follow My path, then you will suffer. You bring suffering onto yourself.

I am the air you breathe …

I am the stars that sparkle down upon the oceans and land …

Believe in the magic …

Believe in love …

For I am love …

I ask only of you to know My Son, Jesus Christ, as you know your own children, for I gave you My Son, so you may live in His example. His unselfish heart gave all that He was and all that He had to all.

He walked among the highest and loved all.

He walked among the lowest and loved and served them all on bended knee.

His hands touched their decaying flesh and did not flinch away.

His eyes looked upon the most horrendous wounds and did not blink.

His lips kissed their foreheads and blessed their souls.

By serving all, He served Himself.

By caring for all, He cared for Himself.

By washing the dirt from the feet of others, He washed His own soul.

My Son, Jesus Christ, lives in all that is love, for without His love the world would be in total darkness. His love is a bright star that shines upon all of mankind, showing the way by example.

No! I say do not believe any are higher than you, for I created all that I am as equal.

The highest point on earth to the deepest ravine and all that live within these places.

The riches that man desires are not the highest goal. No! Man created money.

I created all to be same, equal. Animal, reptile, human, rock, all the same. Look at a tree and tell me you do not feel higher in your worth.

I am the Creator of all.

The tree stands right beside you on its worth to the universe.

The tree produces life; you produce life, same worth for the good of all mankind.

You compare your worth to the man that lives off the earth, the man who wanders the roads and has no processions or money in his pocket. You compare yourself to him and you feel superior. Look again, I am in all.

I gave him worth …

I gave you worth …

By My connection to all, trust in the knowledge.

How can you be worth more than the snake that slithers across this earth, for I am the snake, I am you. Can you not see the same God the Father in all?

Or do you refuse to believe that your worth does not depend on your appearance or your bank account?

I am the way, your path to understanding your worth.

I give all that I am so you may know your worth from your soul and spirit that connects all to Me.

Do you see that all spirits have the same worth now?

Believe I am all to all for eternity, and I will never turn my back on you.

Man, woman, child, old, young, worm, snake, elephant, ape, bird, fish, big, small, water, earth, sun, moon, clouds, stars, healthy, sick, rich, poor, all worthy of My love.

I do not ask you to change yourself for Me but to know the part of Me that is you.

I do not thunder My demands at you with the threat of a terrible revenge if you do not

follow My words or the examples set for you by Jesus Christ.

No! I am love.

You will come to Me for I am you.

Do not believe in those that tell you I am a revengeful God. No!

For I love Myself, so I love you.

I would not hurt Myself, so I would not hurt you.

We are one in each other.

I ask only from you to love thyself and love others for they are you.

Believe in this, love yourself, for then I am truly loved without laws demanding or threats. I am loved.

My thoughts I have sent to you throughout time. Some hear, some refuse to listen; all know this is who I am.

I am simple.

You remember simpler times, the part of life that forced the best and the hardest hours from you and a good life, a life of having others to share everything with, and that was all that mattered.

Simplify life. How? Why? I think you know the answer. Everything depends on everything else to survive, and in the world now, there are too many things to take away your attention on the real matters of life.

There aren’t enough hours in a day, week, month, or year to do everything that was invented for your enjoyment.

Instead of spending hours of simple joy with your loved ones, including Me and My Son, Jesus Christ, you spend your precious hours watching others’ pretend lives on TV,

or you sit with your mind a blank, while a robot machine does all your thinking for you.

Love is never felt or given while things occupy your life. Families run to their separate rooms, away from each other, to sit in front of a box, a thing that cannot communicate to them how much they are loved or how proud they are of them.

Things are only that, things!

Love is the path to life being lived to its fullest. Can you remove all your things from your life and feel your life again?

I am not in things only in all that are connected by love.

You say you would be bored without your things.

Try sitting quietly in the middle of nature and watch life as it is happening.

Take your loved ones out to a forest and know each other and know yourself in all of My creations.

Excitement comes from the knowing that something wonderful is going to happen. Love is that wonderful, simple everything in everyone.

I am love …

I am joy …

I am excitement …

Dig in the dirt and build creations of your own making, but walk away from things,

for soon you will become like a thing; unfeeling, without compassion, empathy, unselfishness and without love.

I created the oceans, rivers, and streams to sustain your life, and for your enjoyment, I created the snow to sustain all of life on earth and for its beauty and fun you can have playing in it.

Look around you and see all that I created for you to enjoy and to find happiness with, while discovering all the wonders of this universe. Look through My eyes to see all you will ever need in the simple ways of life.

March 28, 2007

Are you ready this morning?

Good, for I am here as always.

Tell Me of your pain that forced your growth. Trust in the knowledge that everything you endured as a child and throughout your lifetime came only for your growth.

I did not give you any of the pain to punish you, for I am not a revengeful God.

I am love.

Look back and see with your heart and mind all that you had pulled to you. The pain was the reaction you had from another’s way of being. Their way of acting out their own fear, and you took it against yourself and used it for your growth. Every time you took others’ words personally, pain resulted. Remember you are the one who pulled the pain to you. Just as My Son, Jesus Christ, pulled his terrible pain and suffering to Him. It was written, but He, as powerful as I, could have stopped it. He chose to live through the torture and anguish of His body for you, mankind.

His love, so unselfishly given, worked against the evil in the world.

He shone His light on all the dark corners of the world, to guide all from the hands of evil.

Trust, His death was not Him dying. He did not die. He did not die as you know but removed Himself from out of His body to live here beside Me, for I am the Father of all.

Life comes to all that follow that beautiful light, My Son, Jesus Christ. He that truly knows the meaning of love and knows I am.

When your heart is hurting and you cry to Me, Father, why do such terrible things happen in the world? Why didn’t you stop all the pain and suffering?

I say to you, like My Son, you pull the pain and suffering to you.

It is in your power to stop the terrible actions, the painful way you treat each other and the suffering throughout the world.

It is in your power that
