Conversations with God 85: to dig up treasure in nature, live connected to the Lord by a spiritual umbilical cord

I take out again, nicely polished, the 85th record of my conversations with God, written on my blog in March 2019.

1. A morning walk during a retreat

Morning contemplation, for the people I love

On a morning walk with the Lord, I went up to the church and sat for a while

The Lord says:

“Yes, it's all right. From now on, just do it again the way you are doing now. You've come this far well.”

Always new again, awake in this very moment

2. Treasure wherever my eyes fall

Wherever my eyes fall, a mysterious experience unfolds.

Beautiful yellow flowers

White plum blossoms full of sap, crimson plum blossoms in full bloom

Everything I see is a blessing.

3. Breathing itself is gratitude

Through the beautiful songs of birds, the Father gives me the grace of blessing.

Grateful only to be alive, breathing and walking, I confess that breathing itself is gratitude.

God the Father, who shows me that existence itself is gratitude and grace, thank you.

4. The guardian angel sent to a little girl

Lord, who sent me a guardian angel whenever I was struggling, ever since I was very little

My “Maitreya sister,” mentor to a crying ten-year-old girl

Thanks to her, a mature girl of eighteen, I read so many good books from a young age, and because of that I am living well.

A precious person in my life, my dear sister~ thank you.

5. Everything is my choice

Setting aside the retreat's silence for a while — for my childhood mentor, my sister; for my new spiritual friend, Professor Byeon; no, for myself — was a choice I made.

Everything is my choice. Have a peaceful day today too.

As I eat, I eat the Lord's grace.

When a spoonful of warm soup goes down my throat, I feel so grateful and full.

May the light of love the Father has given fill the whole world, may there be peace on this earth, and may wisdom be filled through the Lord's word.

6. Connected to the Lord by a spiritual umbilical cord

We cut the umbilical cord that connected us to our parents and stood on our own, but we cannot stand completely alone.

We must become one body with the Lord, connected by a spiritual umbilical cord, carrying the Lord's navel with us~♡

These are words the Lord gave me.

The secret of digging up treasure in nature was not far away.

Today again I hold tight to the spiritual umbilical cord that connects me to the Lord, and look for the hidden treasure wherever my eyes fall.

I entrust everything to the Lord and pray. What treasure did you discover today?
