GOD IS THE MOST LOVABLE BEING
Never think that God does not answer your prayers. Every word you have whispered to Him He has written in His heart.; and someday He will answer you. If you keep watching for Him and the many ways in which He does respond, you will know that in fact He answers you all the time. If you are very eager, He will answer in greater ways. Only by persistence can He be persuaded to come.
God is the most lovable Being in the universe. Everything that you want is in Him. To seek anything else is a great mistake. I am not wasting a minute of my time. I have cut out everything that diverts me from Him. Such happiness I could never find anywhere else. I am living in that state of God consciousness, and where I am, I want you to come. I want to reciprocate the love of those whose love I have received by taking them with me unto the love of my Father.
The point is, your goal must be to know God. When you have found Him, when your heart is in tune with Him, then whatever He tells you to do is all right. But if you entangle yourself without first finding God, you have chosen the path of error.
You are alone on this earth and nobody will pay for your mistakes but yourself. So why should you follow the mistakes of others ? You must live your life as you know you should live it. Don't keep feeding your bad habits with fresh actions that strengthen them. The weak man says, "I smoke, and now I can't quit." Well, before he smoked, he never felt the need. Be free. When God's boundless joy and soothing light come, nothing else matters. Then outer experiences also will testify that what you see inside is true.

GOD IS THE LOVER BEHIND ALL LOVE
I have realized, by searching for lasting love, that it was Someone Else who cared for me through all human loves. The Divine has loved me as mother, as father, and as friends. I searched for that one friend behing all friends, that one Lover whom I now see glimmering in all your faces. And that Friend never fails me.
God is behind everything. "Honour thy father and thy mother," but "love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy might." You should understand the importance of cultivating divine friendship with Him, and not wasting any more time. How do you know when you go to sleep whether or not you will wake up? One by one we leave this earth. But there is nothing to grieve about. When we die, we are required to be reborn on earth, starting another life where we left off in this one.
