Pleasing Self Displeases God by Robert Ricciardelli
Vain religion brings comfort to those consumed by their own needs and desires. They pridefully follow the moral majority rules thinking that this pleases God. They settle for eternal security, wait for heaven, and wonder why the world hasn't changed much. When they awaken to the Kingdom within, they become Spirit driven to lovingly meet the needs of others, which makes them world changers bringing pleasure to their God.

The "Being" of What We Believe by Robert Ricciardelli
We can have beliefs that align with the Kingdom of God and still not be living in the integrity of those beliefs. There is often a gap between knowing and doing, and to know and not do is to truly not know. Agreements collapse under pressure, and we do not understand covenant. The power we desire to live in will not come until we begin to live in harmony with our beliefs, agreements, and covenants with God and man.

The "Not About Me" Life by Robert Ricciardelli
Many people are trapped in the "it's all about me" life, and faith has become a "ticket to heaven" one day rather than a "carrier of heaven" for today. The love of neighbors, outsiders, or even God has become more theory than reality, and knowledge has become an illusion to actually living the love message. God is causing an awakening to authentic life, and we are welcomed participants in His love revolution.

Loving Beyond the Establishments of Man by Robert Ricciardelli
Those who are spiritual live in truth, justice, and inclusivity, while exclusive others put religious activities above grace, mercy, and truth.

Religion protects itself by separating from the world while the children of God go fearlessly into the world in the power of His love.

Together we can build a brighter tomorrow when we acknowledge the strengths outside of ourselves, and build in the power of God and "us".

Ego Dismissed Through Significance by Robert Ricciardelli
Ego must be disregarded and dismissed in order to welcome and embrace a significant Spirit life. Ego likes to believe we are separate from God and others while maintaining the need to acquire, possess, and control. Life in the Spirit seeks Gods directives, perspectives, and Gods glory in all things. Spirit man loves and serves for the benefit of others while doing so knowing their true identity as a child of God.

The Gift of Choice by Robert Ricciardelli
One of God's greatest gifts to each of us is the gift of choice. Wisdom reveals to us that most circumstances that occur in our lives are directly related to choices that have been made.

Choose well this day!

Connective and Collective Joy by Robert Ricciardelli
When you are told that you are faster, smarter, or more beautiful than others, it feels good. It seems like joy can be associated with being different, or standing above the crowd, but such joy is very temporary. True joy is hidden where we are the same as other people as part of God's family. It is the joy of being family, and of lovingly sharing life together. "God in us," brings connective and collective joy in creation.

Embracing God and Creation by Robert Ricciardelli
A spiritual person is one who holds both God and creation in thoughtful and loving embrace. Aware of God's love for humanity, those who are Spirit led will hurt at injustice, live in God's own pain over the ills of humanity, and share in the pain and suffering of others. They are compelled to take action, their greatest passion is compassion, and their greatest strength is love and the defiance of despair.

Faith is the Remedy for Fear by Robert Ricciardelli
The fear of pain and heartache is far worse than the suffering itself. The remedy for fear of the future is faith in your present, faith in the God who has brought you to now, and faith that He will guide you through every tomorrow. Suffering has little hope in the heart of one who is chasing their visions and dreams. Every moment spent in your engagement with destiny, are moments spent encountering God and eternity.

To Learn is to Win by Robert Ricciardelli
I have won, I have lost, and I have learned. What I have won I do not take for granted, nor do I rest upon my past victories. When I have lost, I have often gained, and I never gaze long at my past defeats. What I have learned has become a treasure that can never be taken from me. There are both winning and losing experiences through life, but to have learned is to have become, a winner.

I learned a long time ago to expect the unexpected and I have also learned that the unexpected was often God's expected provision for my good. His gifts come in the form of comforting victories as well as strengthening trials. Embrace God's unexpected gifts no matter how comforting or discomforting they may be. Expect that over time, you will learn and grow from the unexpected opportunities that God sends your way.
