How Sweet It Is to know that God is Everything and Everywhere; to recognize the Creator in the rising sun, the coming Spring, and the velvety air. How sweet it is to consider that God is Love, and the Love that created the Universe is the same Love that creates everyone, every creature, and every dimension that is known and unknown to me.
This Love is the Love I reveal to myself, to my heart, and to all people who read this prayer. This Love is the absolute sweetness I seek. In this moment, I find this love in my heart. I know that it is planted there by my Creator. The Creator, considering Her own Infinite Love, had a consideration and I am created from that thought. Like Her, I am sweet love, happy love, fierce and protective love, go-for-a-walk love, spend-the-day- contemplatinglove love, and I live in grace no matter the appearance.
Knowing this, in faith and without doubt, I affirm and declare a profound sweetness in my life. Everywhere I go, I am delivered from the harshness of anger, illness, or limitation and my soul sinks into the goodness that is the truth of my being. This sweetness forms a light that goes before me making clear and smooth my way and this sweetness attracts all the right people to me for all of the projects that are waiting to be fulfilled. Most of all, this sweetness lets me know that I am the beloved of the Beloved and I fall even more in love with Her than ever before. I am in love with the Beloved.
I give thanks for this love affair with God, for the sweetness of my life and the life all around me. I accept this goodness at such a profound level that all I can do is experience it, rest in it, and let it be. I release my word in sweetness, light, and life.
And So It Is.
Amen.
