Birth Of A Jewel

And the jewel begins to form through the energy of All Love.💖
This story lives at the heart of my first book, Birth of a Jewel. I wrote it years ago in a moment of deep connection and vulnerability. Today, I feel called to share it again, for those who may not have read it, and for those who may need its reminder.
Visualize the mind of Spirit (God) and take a ride into my heart. If there is a quiet movement of your heart as you read, fasten your seatbelt because maybe, somewhere within, there is an awakening to a remembrance of your unique relationship with All That Is.
A space seeped into the great mind of our Creator.
That space was me.
Spirit is suddenly aware of this space and instantly falls in love.
It decides to create this mesmerizing love feeling into a beautiful one-of-a-kind jewel.
As It holds the treasure up and into Its Light,
The facets shone like nothing it had ever seen.
It has an ah-ha moment and comes up with a whimsical idea!
The Universe shakes as Spirit says with joy:
“I will put this perfect, magnificent jewel on Earth, and it will represent Me.
I shall also give it a glorious purpose to live by.
The light it carries is so brilliant that wherever it goes, whatever it does, it will shine so bright that others will easily find their path.
It will also walk on the Earth in and as the presence of Love.
Singing…
Dancing…
And, creating a beautiful world around itself…
Even amid the fear of confusion and disruption.
No matter what difficulties it goes through, it will always choose to shine its light and always choose love over hate, kindness over meanness, and bring comfort and joy to those who seek it.
It will be My protégé and I, its faithful guide. The deep stillness of this Energy, which lives within each soul, will be felt in its most fearful moments. And the reminder of where it was created will awaken in peace and reassurance.”
Upon hearing this, the jewel’s light expanded in joy and profound awe. In trusting these words, it was ready to be sent down to Earth and begin a journey of a lifetime.
Spirit leans Its head back, releasing a deep, heartfelt, warm chuckle while bringing this Love jewel to Its lips. Then, kissing the little angel softly, It gently says:
“Are you ready, My delightful creation?”
With the rainbow colors of the facets glowing light and with excitement, it replies, “I AM!”
Spirit smiles and says, “Yes, You Are! And I applaud your awareness of this.”
Its lights blink, and Spirit added:
“I created you in that which is ALL LOVE. So You are That I AM.”
This little jewel blushed while its heart expanded tenfold.
With that, Spirit took a deep, smooth breath and blew the jewel gracefully to Earth like a feather falling from an eagle’s wing, flowing down through the clouds.
And as it shifted into the atmosphere of what would become this little miracle’s home for a short time, it knew it would be spreading its Creator’s love and breathed in joy, gratitude, and captivating anticipation.
And so It is.🦋
The reflection in my eyes even as an infant, shows a calm joy.
The adult me, now, rests in this natural wisdom. 💖
Thought to Ponder ~
It is said that our Creator flows through everything and everyone. When we’re open and allow it, we can see this Energy everywhere. When was the last time you felt a deep connection with something that changed the way you feel and look at life?
