I woke up last Sunday morning with a phrase running through my mind.  Having slept in on such a lazy morning, I kept thinking about it, and several more phrases came to mind.  As I thought about it over the next two hours, more and more phrases spontaneously revealed themselves … so, of course, I took it as a clear message from spirit! 

The message shaped up as this:

Rob Channeling

Seek nature and find grandeur;

Seek the young and find hope;

Seek meaning and find truth;

Seek the truth and find wonder;

Seek blessings and find gratitude;

Seek solitude and find peace;

Seek love and find Heaven;

Seek yourself and find God.

These are all based on (and expand on) Jesus’/Yeshua’s teaching in Matthew 7:7-8 (NIV) :

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

The most important revelation about each of these phrases is that in order to find the blessing at the end, one must take action first.  But, these aren’t grand, laborious actions.  They reflect the quiet, internal contemplation of eternal truths, something one can do at any time, irrespective of what is happening in the world.

It doesn’t matter how chaotic the world is or your life may be.  You can always go within, where the external events cannot enter.  Intrusions can only happen if you allow them.  If you focus on the negativity, then you will surely find it.  But, if you want to find blessings, they are there to be found as well!  You simply have to look for them.

For me, so many of these truths are embodied in the face of my young granddaughter, in the form of hope, wonder, gratitude, peace, and love, all of which confirms the presence of the Divine.  When I look at her and think about the future of our beautiful planet, I am filled with joy! And I can’t help but wonder, “Little Miss Magic, whatcha gonna be?” [1]
