Life’s Potential Takes Over
Rev. Dr. Martha Quintana, Former Senior Minister of RGCSL
Life Is. Life is everywhere equally present and no matter the appearance, it is there – tucked into those quiet places, bursting forth in the form of a flower, quietly contemplating as a thought, beating a heart, beaming through the sunlight, breathing that last breath as the soul takes leave of a body. Life. It is Perfect – Perfect Love, Perfect Health, Perfect Happiness, and Perfect Abundance. It is Good that is Alive. No matter the appearance, Life reigns and no one and nothing is ever lost or dies.
Life is who I am. I am alive in its Goodness and I live in its Light. Every aspect of my being is part of that perfect energy, love, health, happiness, and abundance that forms my body and gives me life. It is called Holy Spirit, God, Essence, The Thing Itself, Reality and so much more. Whatever it is called, I call it forth by my recognition of Its Essence, and I align so perfectly with It that I cannot deny anything about It or me. I am bursting with life and possibility. I am never lost, always here. As I know this for me, I know this for every person reading this prayer. Each one is a pure possibility of Life’s Essence – of this, I’m sure.
Knowing this, I affirm and declare life. I light the candle of faith and no longer curse the darkness. Every family member and friend is infinitely protected and loved. Happiness surrounds those loved ones who have left this physical plane. Wherever there appears to be sadness, joy replaces it. Wherever there appears to be loss, love replaces it. Wherever there appears to be lack or limitation, abundance replaces it. Wherever there appears to be illness, health replaces it. Life’s potential takes over and resources arrive that support each person exactly as he or she requires it.
I am so grateful. I am grateful for every family member, friend, and I am so thankful for all the people who call our Rio Grande Center their spiritual home. Knowing that this happiness resides permanently and steadfastly in my heart, I release my word and know this prayer is done. And So It Is. Amen.
