I woke up filled with renewed purpose
this morning.
I woke up feeling strong and confident,
and young.
I talked with God,
and She told me that She’s counting on me,
depending on me, trusting me
to express her Being –
Her love.
She told me to “buck up” –
those were Her very words –
and get on with what I need to do,
and to stop getting distracted
by anything that takes me from my job.
I have important work, She told me.
I have a mission of love to fulfill –
and there is not a moment to waste.

God said, “Nothing can stop you from loving,
and being loved.”
