The "Always-So" the Always-GoOD the Always (t)Here the Always With You the Always Now and Now and Now the Always Smiling... Are you smiling yet? Less silence-filling today, and more feeling into the Silence. Relaxing into It. Trusting It. I Love you, Nik nikki@curlynikki.com __________________________________________ Today's Quotes: "When Teresa of Avila was asked what she did in prayer, she replied, 'I just allow myself to be loved! Why not stop for a while and pray? Keep praying even if you only have a whisper left.Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing: The Lord's unfailing love and mercy still continue, fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise. The Lord is all I have, and so in him I put my hope {Lamentations 3:21-24} -@claremsf via IG "Go beyond everything. Don't collect anything.  A king does not need to go shopping in his own kingdom. Nor does he beg. Remember, you are the inner reality-pure awareness only. All that arises are appearances in consciousness. Don't bother with all that. Rest only as the awareness. This is the secret." -Mooii "When filled with the holy truth, the mind rests." -Charles Spurgeon "If you believe in a God who controls the big things, you have to believe in a God who controls the little things. It is we, of course, to whom things look "little" or "big.'" -Elisabeth Elliot "Lord, deliver me from the urge to open my mouth when I should shut it. Give me the wisdom to keep silence where silence is wise. Remind me that not everything needs to be said, and that there are very few things that need to be said by me." -Elisabeth Elliot "Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying to days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorry, it empties today of its strength." -Corrie Ten Boom "I don't know how, but I know Who." @worshipblog via IG  "God says don't need your talent.  I don't need your gift. I don't want all the stuff that you can do. I just want you. I want your heart." - @Worshipblog     "To know the always-so is to be illuminated; not to know it, means to go blindly in disaster. He who knows the always- so has room in him for everything; he who has room in him for everything is without prejudice. " -Lao Tzu
